Slow display of pdf files when high cpu usage

[Victor Warner]

I find that PDF-Xchange displays pdfs (virtually all types, whether containing simple text or with high graphic content) when the CPU usage is at a high percentage. Ie the screen slowly builds up the view of the pdf.

However, with a high CPU usage and opening the corresponding files in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 viewer the pdf is displayed almost instantaneously.

Is there anything that can be done about this?

Swings and roundabouts. Perhaps something could be done for some files, but it might affect the performance on other files. Without a link to a PDF file that suffers from this problem, nothing at all can be done.

Thank you for the link. This has explained why this problem is happening, even if a permanent solution is not available yet.

Hi Viktor,

Also have in mind that Adobe uses different rendering where it is "gradually" adding content to the page or refining in a few steps the initial "crude approximation". On some files it might look that Adobe is faster exactly because of this, and because we are showing white page before the full rendering is complete.
