PDF-X prints a large file VERY SLOWLY

Post by Cobalt »

My company is evaluating PDF-X to see if we will purchase it and we have run accross an issue. We print large construction plans that are sent to us in PDF format. I recieved one today. Adobe Acrobat 6.0 can printer the entire file in under 2 minutes; the newest version of PDF-X eval that I am testing takes over 10 minutes to print. Are there settings in PDF-X that can be adjusted to speed things up or is this normal?

It is a known problem due to the PDF-XChange using GDI for printing. A recent post from Tracker Support in this thread said that it will be fixed in the next build 40 (that may be a month or so).
