I started getting this after inadvertently enabling Speech Recognition (SR from now on) while trying to enable and test the microphone integrated in my notebook. I'm (ashamedly) using Vista on the notebook, so here is what to do in Vista. XP may be slightly different. Go to Control Panel>Speech Recognition Options>Advanced Speech Options and in the User Settings section uncheck both boxes (Run...at startup & Allow computer....) You also need to shut down SR if it is currently running. Then, if Acrobat was running while you did all this, stop it and restart it and you should not get the problem unless you re-start SR. When SR is running (even if "sleeping") you will get the "Preparing documents for reading.....". It somewhat makes sense because SR allows you to make selections, edits, etc. in documents and so needs to "learn" the documents. It would be sweet if MS would provide a level of settings so that you could enable or disable SR for selected applications or environments, but we know how that goes.
