Preload pages

Post by Croatoan42 »

PDF-XChange Viewer uses 10-30 time less RAM than others (Adobe Acrobat 20 documents 1GB, PDF-XChange 100MB). This is because Adobe Acrobat loads all pages to memory, where PDF-XChange loads only one page off document to the RAM. This is good for every document except for magazine (all pictures), and I have delay while loading next page (~0.3s, it is noticeable).

Is there an option in PDF-XChange Viewer to preload 3,4 pages. E.g. if I am on page 10, to preload pages 11,12 and 13.

Hi Croatoan42,

Thanks for the post - while I don't believe that there's any specific option to pre-load certain pages, you should find that it helps to allocate a higher memory allowance for the Viewer. Please try going to Edit --> Preferences --> Performance and try allowing the Viewer to use more RAM.

Cheers,

Tried that, didn't help. Doesn't matter. I will read this magazine in Acrobat, and for everything else standard PDF-XChange Viewer.

Hi Croatoan42,

The only other suggestion that we can really make, would be to try the Editor, as no further changes are being made to the Viewer in this regard. The Editor can be downloaded here:
