Hi bokjeid,

I appreciate you ideas to improve the DR. This idea however will be difficult to implement there are several reasons:
- The viewer framework of the DR (uds) is closed source, so its behaviour can not be changed.
- As indicated in another thread, there is a problem in the Adobe-plugin for the viewer framework w.r.t. postponing idle-mode when pre-rendering.
- Further the DR has only a limited amount of memory, so pre-rendering a complete document is not possible. Currently uds has a 'clever' caching mechanism, it seems to keep some of the previously viewed pages in cache, but only a limited number.

An alternative would be to develop a new pdf-viewer, so the behaviour can be specifically programmed for the DR. There have been some initiatives in the past on this forum, see for example this thread for pViewer.
