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.
Mackx, I appreciate your information at this time, too.
Now I tried the pViewer. It was too slow but still ran.
And I didn't mean caching all of the pages but just some pages, about 5~10 or so enough to prevent buffering. Only 1 page is so insufficient, compared to any other program which buffers or pre-fetchs.
If it can't be improved, it seems that the last option would be to hide or minimize the loading dialog box.. I posted another thread about this in the past, not recently and dima_tr said he/she succeeded it in my recent thread. Now I'll ask him how..

ps. Another thing:I don't expect it, but can't we upgrade Adobe reader mobile inside DR1000S? I visited Adobe website and it seemed that the newer version came out..
