Windows caches recent programs pretty well.
For both Reader and Pro, you can speed up Adobe startup
at tiny bit by going into Adobe Edit/Preferences and in
the Startup options you can turn off "Display Splash
screen".
Even with caching, Adobe is one of the slowest-loading
apps on the market today. I just close the document by
hitting the inner document "X", and then minimize the app.

I make about 12 PDFs per day and I would like to load
adobe once the first time and then leave it resident in
memory so I don't have to load the whole program every
time. Is there a setting I can use for this? I am running
win XP pro, version 2002, SP1
