pages, page thumbnails, and bookmarks.

Reset All Warnings Restores default settings for warnings.

Messages From Adobe

Show Me Messages When I Launch Acrobat Allows in-product marketing messages from Adobe to appear in the

Welcome Screen when you launch the application without a document open. Click a message to get information about

features, updates, or online services, or to open an element in the application, such as a task pane. Deselect the option

to prevent in-product marketing messages from appearing.

Note: Transactional messages, which facilitate the Adobe Online Service, cannot be turned off.

Application Startup

Show Splash Screen Determines whether the application startup screen appears each time the application starts.

Use Only Certified Plug-Ins Ensures that only Adobe-certified third-party plug-ins are loaded. The notation Currently

in Certified Mode indicates either Yes or No depending on its status.

Check 2D Graphics Accelerator (Windows only) (Appears only if your computer hardware supports 2D graphics

acceleration.) When selected, allows hardware acceleration usage when the first document is opened. When

deselected, hardware acceleration usage starts after the first document is opened. This option can slow startup time, so

it is unselected by default.

Note: This option is available only when the option Use 2D Graphics Acceleration in the Page Display preferences is

selected.

Select Default PDF Handler (Windows only) Specifies which PDF application is used to open PDFs in a web browser or

the Windows shell (by double-clicking a PDF on the desktop, for example). This setting applies if you have multiple

versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader or both installed on your computer. For example, if you choose Reader X, PDFs

open in Protected Mode--a secure, confined environment for viewing PDFs.
