Version: PDF SpeedUp 1.32
Pros: Small download size and no installer - run straight from exe. Options clearly marked with check boxes and there are options to cover all of the loading annoyances and remove them. Covers different versions of the reader successfully and most importantly speeds up loading immensely.
Cons: Interface is slightly rough looking but this really isn't a big deal considering the programme is a gem.

Version: PDF SpeedUp 1.32
"Buggy software with no support. You can do better."
Pros: It does what it says it will do, but not very well.
Cons: This program is clunky, poorly written and irritating to use. I use Acrobat 6 instead of Reader, and this program asks me the file path every bloody time that I open it because it's not in the "Reader" folder. Then I have to resize the window -- again. Sometimes it gets confused and I have to redo it a couple of times before it works. Even the interface design is ugly.
Worst of all, there is absolutely no help or documentation, either with the software or online. You just have to guess how to use it. No menus, no options, nothing. You just get the application file, nothing else, not even a readme file. And of course there is no uninstaller. Inexcusable.
Fortunately, there is a better alternative. I recommend "Adobe Reader SpeedUp" by Bootblock instead. Much more friendly to set up and easy to use. It even includes a description of every plugin and why you may not need it.

Version: PDF SpeedUp 1.32
Cons: After using it, Acrobat Reader 8.0 crashes on every run. Restore almost did work right, except that it did reset some preferences.

Version: PDF SpeedUp 1.32
"Great customization, speeds loading the program up!"
Pros: Acrobat Reader starts up very quickly now... I've disabled browser integration for now but I can re-enable it with one checkbox. I still want PictureTasks (allows me to export pictures), so I took that off the "Don't load these plugins" list... Note this company also makes Photoshop SpeedUp, which is what I was looking for originally.
Cons: If you want to re-enable several plugins, Ctrl or Shift don't allow you to select more than one at a time. This could become a bear if Acrobat Reader gets a whole bunch of plugins like Photoshop comes with... To "re-disable" a plugin you've enabled, you have to close and restart PDF SpeedUp... There's an ad for its AcroPDF every time you close PDF SpeedUp... However, these cons are small compared to the pros for me.

Version: PDF SpeedUp 1.32
Pros: Awesome program -- I had reverted to using Adobe Reader 4.0 because it takes 6.0 forever to load, and then it never wants to unload from memory. Adobe is now lightning fast and doesn't eat up my resources.
