The files are already on my HDD I view them in the browser because we have a "application" that is basically just an html interface for all our service documentation (30 GB of PDFs). I have been using Chrome for this for a while before I started this thread.

I got Foxit to run in chrome by uninstalling Acrobat but it is just as slow. In Firefox with Foxit or Acrobat the pdfs open instantly. Which is really funny since Chrome does everything else faster.
