I then proceeded to uninstall the Pro version, and the Reader still performed nice and fast. Then, the problem stopped on the Reader after I installed the Pro version, and so now both Reader and Pro versions on the Surface Pro 2 are fine. On the MS Surface Pro 2, the problem existed when I had Reader only installed. The apparent difference in performance between the Reader and Pro version running at the same time on the same PC leads me to think there is something different between them. The video I took happens on the same screen on the same computer, just two windows side by side. Grammar error in a sentence has been corrected. Ironically, the web plugin for Adobe Cloud Reader does not have this lag problem.

I hope the software engineering team is aware of this problem in Reader DC and a solution is on the way, unless this is somehow a plot to steer people away from the free reader software and compel them to buy the license for Acrobat DC. I tried the same thing on my desktop PC using the mouse and I noticed the same lag on Reader DC, but on Acrobat DC there is no lag and works great. It makes the Fill and Sign feature virtually useless. That is unless you draw the signature really really slow to give time to the software to catch up to the curves as you draw with the stylus.
However, in Reader DC, using the same exact document, drawing the signature has a terrible lag, and it misses strokes, as a result the signature has barely any resemblance to what it is supposed to look like. The signature drawing comes out great and it feels very natural to draw, sign, and use handwriting. When you use the Fill and Sign tool, drawing a signature in Acrobat DC works beautiful.

I am testing using a Surface Pro tablet with Windows 8.1 and it's included stylus. While I am happy at the performance of the new Reader DC reader and Acrobat DC opening and loading documents is much improved, but there is one area where I don't understand why there's a marked difference between Acrobat DC and Reader DC. Fill and Sign is a feature that was long overdue and it's finally here. I do software testing for our enterprise environment before we deploy to our users.
