Adobe Acrobat Speed Launch – READER_SL.EXE

Reader_sl.exe installs with Adobe Acrobat reader 7 or later as its "speed launch" utility. This file runs on system setup and pre-loads the acrobat reader so that it will launch more quickly when needed.

The Acrobat Reader can be used to read Adobe Acrobat .PDF format files. The program also installs a browser helper object that let's you view PDF files within your browser window. With all the .PDF formatted files on the web these days, we'd recommend against removing this file.

There are multiple versions of the speed launch feature available. Typically they install with different versions of Acrobat but they all do the same thing. You shouldn't need more than one of these files running on system startup in order to get the benefit of the faster launch: reader_sl.exe, sc_acrobat.exe, _sc_acrobat.exe, sc_reader.exe, and acrobat_sl.exe. You'll find more information on Spead Launch for Adobe Acrobat 7, Adobe Reader 7, and Acrobat 3D at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=331131.
