Set Your Autosave
Set an autosave time in the
"Automatically save docu-
ment changes to tempo-
rary file" field. By default,
Acrobat saves document
changes every five minutes.
If you are working on a large
document, the autosave can
take some time away from
your work; you may want
to increase the duration
between autosaves.
How Smooth Is
Smooth?
Experiment with the Render-
ing options in the Page Dis-
play preferences for different
displays. Click the Smooth
Text pull-down arrow and
specify either Laptop/LCD
or Monitor. If you work
with both a desktop and
a laptop, for example, you
may find smoothing options
necessary for clear viewing
on one monitor that you
won't need on another.

If your workflow involves preparing files for archival purposes, choose
Only for PDF/A mode from the "View documents in PDF/A mode" pop-
up menu. Your files are automatically evaluated and tested.
•
If your workflow involves sensitive material such as legal documents,
choose the Examine Document options to evaluate the content of a
file for hidden and other sensitive material before closing or before
e-mailing documents.
Click Page Display in the options listed in the left pane of the Prefer-
ences dialog. You can set some page preferences to get up to working
speed faster:
•
Leave the "Use page cache" check box selected (Figure 4b). The page
cache is a buffer area. If you cache the pages, as you display one page
the next page in a document is read and placed in a buffer area until
you are ready to view it. Pages load faster, and the faster load time
is particularly noticeable if you are working with image-intensive or
interactive documents.
Figure 4b Speed up page display by choosing settings that draw content and
display pages faster.
•
Deselect the "Show large images" option if your computer has a slow
redraw speed. On older computers, images take a lot of time to draw
on the screen. Each time you move the image means more time wait-
ing for the image to redraw again.
