Sam Neil Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I am having to wait at least 15-20 seconds for a PDF to open in 1.9.1. Is there a reason which this is happening? This was never an issue before in 1.8.5. I should add that the files are from an ISO of a CD-ROM which I mount and simply open them as normal.

Staff Gabe Posted March 9, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hi @Sam Neil, Sorry for the delayed reply. This is most likely a consequence of introducing PDF Passthrough. By default, when you place a PDF, it will be set to Passthrough rather than interpret(old method). Passthrough will generate a bitmap, which depending on the size/content of the pdf, will take longer than the old method. If you attach a few sample pdfs, I can have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted March 10, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 10, 2021 I can't see any difference between 1.8 and 1.9. If anything, 1.9 was 1-2 seconds faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the only difference with what you have and how I have it is, these PDFs were on a CD-ROM which have been made into an ISO and I load it and call it from the loaded ISO. I am not sure if that makes any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I do is double click on them and they are loaded as an extra (drive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Drive emulation can be a speed factor. So just copy the PDF to the HDD/SSD and start a time comparison.
