Sam Neil Posted March 1, 2021 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. Quote
Staff Gabe Posted March 9, 2021 Staff 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
Sam Neil Posted March 9, 2021 Author Posted March 9, 2021 Thanks Gabe - It makes sense now. Due to private nature of these documents, Can I send them to you privately? Quote

Staff Gabe Posted March 10, 2021 Staff 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

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

Komatös Posted March 10, 2021 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.
