PDF reflow slow?

bonaldo2000 · 08-07-2008, 04:40 PM

I have tried the new firmware PDF reflow on some text-only pdfs and it generates quite readable results but is VERY slow. It takes about 10 seconds to change page.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I have experienced an increased delay with PDF reflow, but not 10 seconds...

PDF reflow takes about 2 seconds.

Well, I have one PDF where it takes about 10 seconds. With most other PDFs I have discovered that you are right, and two seconds is all it takes, which is perfectely fine.
Any idea what might cause it to be slow on some PDFs. It's not a fancy PDF by any means. Just plain text.

I have this problem too. On some PDFs the reader needs about 10 seconds, on other PDFs it's almost instant.
I didn't have the time to compare these PDFs but I think it has to do with the internal format of the pdf. Maybe it's compressed vs. uncompressed.
I also encountered the phenomenon that the reflow sometimes breaks lines down to single words.
