I have used Adobe Acrobat for quite a while combined with some other 3rd
party apps. Here are some of the solutions we found, maybe they will help.
I have seen the problem with large PDF files opening very slow or choppy if
a virus scanner like NetShield is set to scan all outbound files. If it is
scanning everything sent, that includes all the bmp screen updates which
slows the time a PDF appears to open. Try and replicate the problem logged
on locally to the box.
A similar issue with the printer spooler taking a lot of resources used to
happen with an older version of the ICA clients. The amount of resources
required increased and the time for the file to spool was around 6 times
greater than an RDP connection. Citrix corrected the problem in an updated
ICA client. I believe it was corrected in the 6.20 release. Make sure you
are at that version or higher to avoid that particular issue.
