Adobe speed reader is a small utility application that can be installed with any Adobe product in your computer. This utility application is added to the list of startup program by default when you install its product on your computer and run every time when you boot your computer. It allows the application to launch faster. Generally, your computer doesn’t need this utility program as this slows up the computer booting process. So Adobe Support recommends you to remove this program if you want to reduce your startup timing.
