While opening all Adobe documents you will receive an initial pop up Content Preparation Progress which says please wait while the document is being prepared for
Problemo
This wastes lot of time and we got to remain idle every time until this preparation is complete.
Why this Occurs?
Accessibility standards ensure that the software must be accessible even for visually challenged persons. In order to prepare the document for reading every time this pop up checks the document for preparing it to Read Out Aloud.
Solution
1. In the Adobe Reader press CTRL+K (Alternatively open EDIT > Preferences)
2. Go to Categories, select Reading
3. Choose Screen Reader Options and select Only read the currently visible pages.
4. OK
5. Next time you will not see the pop up.
Thanks A lot it worked
THANKS~!
thanks so much. it works for me
alternatively, you can delete the plug-in accessibility.api in the folder /Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins
and maybe you’d also like to delete readoutloud.api and spelling.api as well
Thank you, was looking for solution. This Content Preparation thing drove me nuts.
Kudos
