PPoint03 & Acrobat6 - painfully slow

[Jonny Block]

I'm using fresh installs of PowerPoint 2003 (via OfficePro install) and
Adobe Acrobat 6 standard.

Creating PDFs behaves nicely in all office apps, save PowerPoint. Small
(2-3 slides) presentations print correctly, but a 7-slide, 1MB presentation
will take 20 minutes to complete (if it completes at all). And, a 9MB 32-
page presentation won't get anywhere near completion in under an hour.

I've installed OfficeXP Pro and Acrobat6 STD on a test station and the same
presentations print nicely to PDF in under 2 minutes each.

In the 03/STD scenario I've messed with the PDF conversion settings, even
to the point of dumbing them down to the minimums, but still no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I should have mentioned that in my previous post. I've tested this
situation prior to and after applyng the 6.0.1 Acrobat patch.

Thanks.
