Getting form fields much slower then before

[Nebulo]

Hi,

I have to call the following code snippet in my application:

Code: Select all

flds = "";
for (i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++)
  { flds = flds + this.getNthFieldName(i) + "\r\n"; }

There is attached example of PDF I'm using.

I noticed that this code is couple of dozens times slower in 2.5 beta (build 189) than in previous versions of PDF XChange Viewer.
Please take a look if there is anything to do to make it faster.

Hello Nebulo,

This is a bit older topic, and in the time between that last post and now we have released quite a few builds. Can you please test and see if it's still slow with build 201 of our Viewer?

Best,

Hi,

I've just tested it with the newest 2.5.201 build and it is much slower that with 2.0.x release of PDF XChange Viewer Pro.
The issue can be reproduced it the following way:
- Use PDFXChangeViewerActiveX.exe or JavaScript.exe at AX_DelphiExamples.
- open PDF attached previously
test #1 - 2.0 (build 57) installed
result of the JS snipped is displayed immediately,
test #2 - 2.5.201 installed
result of the JS snipped is displayed after 12 seconds

Hi Nebulo,

thanks for that. We looked into it and found that the cause was the need to sort the results each time before getting the field. We will implement caching of the sorted results to facilitate faster returns on subsequent requests. This should be done for the next build.

Hello Nebulo,

I see in the ticket that it's been targeted to be resolved with the next build (202) of our products, but when that build will be I can not tell for now.
As soon as the ticket is resolved - or we do have a precise build release date - we will post that additional info here.

Best,
Stefan

Hi Nebulo,

We have addressed this issue in the last build. Can you update and confirm this works at your end please?
