Macintosh users who've experienced a slowdown in printing PDFs since upgrading to either Acrobat Pro 6.x or Adobe Reader 6.x may want to try a solution mentioned at the MacFixit Web site.
The site notes that the "6.0 release seems to have a problem with multi-page, multi-copy documents" -- that is, Acrobat and Reader will send each page individually rather than send a multi-page document to the printer once and request several copies, thus creating "an extremely long rendering and data transfer process."
The suggested solution:
"It now appears that deleting Adobe Reader 6.0 or Acrobat Professional 6.0 .plist files can resolve the issue. Specifically, in the case of Reader 6.0, these two files (located in ~/Library/Preferences) should be discarded:
com.adobe.Reader6.0.plist
com.adobe.Reader.plist
A MacFixit user states on the site that printing with Reader 6 returned to normal after deleting the Preferences file.
OK, so you want to stamp your document. Maybe you need to give reviewers some advice about the document's status or sensitivity. This tip from author Ted Padova demonstrates how to add stamps with the Stamp Tool along with related comments.
