Plugin details

This is the HTML representation of the plugin Loaded Plug-ins (Version 1.00) which can be found in the following path(s) in X-Setup Pro classic:
Program Options\Adobe\Acrobat Reader 7.0

The plugin can be executed on the following Windows versions (Operation Systems):
Any Windows version; Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows ME Windows 2000 Windows XP and Windows 2003

Description :
Since Acrobat Reader 6.0, Adobe has included a lot of feature into Acrobat Reader from programs that were available separately before (for example the eBook Reader). This has been done by creating plug-ins for Acrobat Reader that are loaded when the program starts. While this is basically a good idea, it now forced Acrobat Reader to load all plug-in into memory (at about 25 in the full version). Most of these plug-in are not needed by the average user that just wants to view a *.PDF file. These settings allow you to disable groups of plug-in that are not needed by the average user. After each name, you see how big all plug-ins of the group (approx.). To learn more about a group, click the "Show Info" button. To disable or enable a group, just click the "Enable/Disable" button. Please note that this does _NOT_ delete the plug-ins but simply prevents Acrobat Reader from loading them. You can later on always enable them again if need the functionality of the plug-ins. On an average machine this can speed up the loading of Acrobat Reader from 8 seconds to around about 1 second (800% faster!). To see the currently loaded plug-ins in Acrobat Reader, check Help -> About Adobe Plug-Ins. Of course it will not show you any plug-ins from a group you have disabled here.
