PDF Programs in the Background


we have pair of servers number of remote users log into.  windows 2008r2, pretty decent setup.  issue users complaining how slow adobe reader , nuance's pdf converter take come first time.  after program loaded, .pdfs come fine, if program closed or not open yet....  possibly less of issue except remoting servers use .pdfs heavily.

so, asked find out if possible have programs either continuously running, or running in background.  asking questions of adobe.... not help.

now, tried "start /b 'unc path' pdf converter, no go, , not notice difference in behavior if try same adobe.

so, research shows might possible run executable service, using sc.exe command.  create behavior desired, or there better route take?  , if work, need implement in administrator's login, or each individually?

thanks help!

adobe lot of pre-flight checking prior startup - , bit wobbly within rdp

there option reconnect disconnected session - put load on server might have impact performance elsewhere. 

are these .pdf files particularly intensive? out of interest - adobe reader x or earlier release? have tried going 9.4? realise you've tried 2 browsers have looked @ foxit? indeed - these .pdfs slow open on standard pc/workstation?

for adobe reader - have disabled updater? disable verify signature updates? if you've v10, start - have looked @ options such as:

go edit / preferences / general - uncheck box "enable protected mode @ startup" got rid of lag in opening adobe docs.

go edit / preferences / 3d & multimedia - uncheck box "enable hardware rendering legacy video cards" got rid of lag in opening adobe docs

..obviously you'd need make these changes , make sure changes saved between sessions. 1 user (and worked) before  rolling out further.
