Managing plug-ins
Plug-ins add more functionality, but they also increase the required amount of memory
needed. To minimize that memory, you may want to install only the plug-ins that you use.
A plug-in must be located in the plug-ins folder to load correctly. You can temporarily
disable plug-ins when starting your software.
To disable a plug-in:
1. On Windows, open the plug_ins folder inside the Acrobat folder within the Acrobat 7.0
application folder. On Mac OS, Control-click the application icon, and choose Show
Package Contents. Then double-click the Contents folder and open the Plug-ins folder.
2. Select the plug-ins you do not want to load, and move them out of the folder. Some of the
plug-ins may be in folders within the plug-ins folder.
To temporarily disable all plug-ins:
Press the Shift key immediately after starting Acrobat.
