Eliminate Adobe Reader 8 "please wait while the document is being prepared" Message
Finally, a fix for this annoying Adobe Acrobat 8 message when opening PDF's which is displayed during the Content Preparation Progress window. Depending on the size of the PDF you are trying to open, the delay is frustrating.
Eliminate the message once and for all by opening My Computer and navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\plug_ins and delete the file called Accessibility.api
Next time you run Adobe Reader, a message will appear that "This version of the Adobe Reader does not support screen readers". Click on the "Do not show this message again" check box, and click OK to have this message not prompt again.
Thanks to the ArsGeek website for finding the fix. Check them out today!

When I remove the accessibility.api, Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 will just not start. It gives a message
INVALID PLUGIN DETECTED.ADOBE READER WILL QUIT
Please help

This fix is only for version 8.0. It looks like Adobe fixed the original problem with 8.1. So add back accessibility.api and you should be good.
