Large pdf opening

pthwaite · 10-15-2008, 02:37 PM

Possibly a bit "size-ist" however, anyone got any issues over opening very large pdfs?

My DR bombs out somewhere between 25 & 35.5Mb but others seem to be able to cope with 40Mb.

Mine manged to open one file that was 53mb, but after I tried zooming to 150% I received the message "not enough ram" (this pdf is only images I think)

pthwaite · 10-15-2008, 03:34 PM

Maybe I'll try redoing the pdf then. It might be the encoding. I ca understand the zoom, but I did think it should at least open the thing.

cheers

I just ordered a 1000 specificaly for large pdf's. I will be extremely "put out" if it chokes on larger PDF's. I have a series of law books that range from 90-200 mb each. My puny Sony 505 opens them no problem although they are nearly unreadable even in landscape mode

I suspect text pdfs aren't a major problem, mine is a large tiff file with drawings superimposed on it and saved as a pdf. It's the rendering involved that may be the issue in my case.

bob_ninja · 10-16-2008, 06:14 AM

To clarify, is the problem due to a large PDF document size OR due to large single pages in PDF document, such as large bitmpa pages? Or both?

pthwaite · 10-16-2008, 06:35 AM

Well at present I only have one file >26Mb and it has a Large tiff file with engineering drawings on top, asved as a pdf. It crashes after trying to load.
My other docs, only up to 26Mb, have engineering drawings, text and probably some jpgs embedded & they all work after the usual time delay.

pthwaite if i gave you access to download a 90 meg book pdf - would you be interested in trying it out for the sake of this thread and overall scientific curiosity? - send me a private message and i'll send you the link and credentials

davidspitzer,
see PM

davidspitzer · 10-16-2008, 03:15 PM

in a PM for the pdf download location

Well, the biggest one I can get my hands on right now is the latest web issue of Momentum Magazine (being an avid everyday cyclist). It's 28mb and works OK, if a bit slow. And all that processing is sure to eat up battery life

pthwaite · 10-16-2008, 06:05 PM

Success

96Mb pdf opened in 25s to first page, thereafter pages open between 1 - 10s. Quite why the difference I don't know, some quick others slow.

In suspect my problem file must be the way it was saved. I've re-saved it and it is now 11Mb so we'll see what happens tomorrow

davidspitzer · 10-16-2008, 06:13 PM

That's pdf is over 1000 pages so the fact that it opens and works is good enough for me - thanks - it is breathtaking to see the 1 whole page on one screen and readable!

On my Sony it is landscape, cut in half and microscopic in size

landscape mode and run through rasterfarian

How about using PDFLRF to cut the margin on both sides and convert them to LRF in landscape mode? I guess it will be much easier to read.
