    Viewing .pdf files in adobe reader


    I view an e-book in adobe reader, it has 456 pages in it and lots of images and graphics.
    When I scroll, resize the adobe reader window it "lags" and becomes slow.
    Also when I scroll, there is some noise coming out of my laptop and when I stop scrolling it stops too.

    what could be the problem?

    The "problem" is Adobe Reader ! :)

    Try this,

    Tracker Software Products :: PDF-XChange Viewer, Free PDF Reader






    When installing it, if you check the "extensions" box then a preview handler will be installed for PDF files so that you can also preview them in the Windows Explorer preview pane;

    Couple more alternative PDF readers,

    Foxit Software - Foxit Reader for Windows (also integrates into Firefox, and IE, which the next one, which is actually my favourite because it's so light weight doesn't)
    Free PDF Reader - Sumatra PDF by Krzysztof Kowalczyk

    Your specs are fine, you have a 2.3Ghz i5 in there, and Adobe Reader is frankly, a hunk of junk.

    I suppose the 2GB of RAM could be letting you down, but if it is, that's again more likely to be Adobe's fault. Sumatra (which I linked to above) has a ridiculously small footprint, it uses by itself next to no memory.

    I updated
    Why would 2GB of ram be the problem?

    i think it's an i3, but it still shouldn't lag badly with a dual core processor.
