A very long time to 'Activate' a 3Dpdf in Adobe Reader

We are creating files in 3D Reviewer then converting to 3D pdf for distributing them.
There is a lot of CAD data, but conversion to .prw is fairly quick; conversion to pdf is also reasonably quick.
The problem comes when Activating the pdf in Adobe Reader (or even Pro Extended).
It takes several minutes to activate some of our pdfs, (or not at all for some files).
When they have eventually activated they view fine, and even the animations work well.
Typical sizes for these files is 22Mb for the .prw and 17Mb for the .pdf.
I think the problem is not just related to filesize, but to the large number of entities.
Is this a problem that others have come across?

Please note: Figure 4 (isosurfaces) can be very slow to load in Adobe Reader for Apple Mac OS X. Sometimes it can take up to 2 minutes ... please be patient!
It is not _so_ slow for me, but still is.
http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/gallery/sphericalharmonic.pdf is also not so fast to load.
Some of my models, where I had to use lots of per-triangle materials to achieve smooth color and transparency demonstrated this problem (but they also did not view exactly _fine_, they made my MacBook noisy due to increase in fan activity ; ).

  • IDOC generated a very long time

    Dear all,
    what reason will cause that IDOC generated a very long time ?
    My own thinking is this due to one instance's update processes are all running, 'update are all running' is due to 'high lock entries in SM12',
    but I don't know how to check what caused 'high lock entries in SM12'.
    When I confirm with user about the lock entries in SM12 that users reply they are running some reloated article in system but very slow, so I cannot delete the lock entries also cannot cancel the update process.
    so who can tell me which reasons will cause large lock entries in SM12 ?
    how to resolve it and avoid it happened again ?
    how to find the root cause for large lock entries ?
    Best Regards,
    Michael

    Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
    Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

    No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault.  And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
    The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

  • Mac Air takes a very long time when manually putting to sleep

    I put my Mac Air in sleep mode from the apple icon after Im dont using it but sometimes takes a very long time to shut down. Then Im not sure if sometimes it goes into sleep mode by itself first. My mac notebook as soon as you hit sleep it shut down instantly. Anyone else have this problem?

  • Macbook Pro, bought 2012, takes a very long time to start up/restart (5 mins). How do I fix this?

    My Macbook Pro, bought 2012, takes a very long time to start up/restart (5 mins) every single time I have shut it down.  I try not to shut it down at all now because once or twice, I have got a grey screen, and then nothing. I've held down the power button to shut down again and restart  How do I fix all this?

    Start up with your built-in Recovery disk by holding down the Command and R keys when starting. Open Disk Utility from there and use it to REPAIR your disk (you've already verified it and it came up with errors).
    With any luck, your problems will be solved. While I was there, I would also repair  permissions.
    Good luck,

  • I have an old ipod that i have not used in a very long time, ive had it on a charger now for over an hour and i still cnnot get my ipod to turn on, how can i fix my problem, i just downloaded the new version of itunes aswell, so i know its not my itunes.

    i have an old ipod touch that i have not used in a very long time, and im having trouble gettign it to turn on. ive had it on a charger for over an hour now and still nothing hs changed. i just updated my itunes to the current version they haev so i know its not an itunes problem its rather a problem with the old ipod touch itself. im leaving for deployment soon and im trying to get this fixed without having to send it in. If anyone has any ideas on how to get this thing turned on it would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, two thoughts.
    The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
    The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
    The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.

    Hi,
    You can export the client, as well but it will take long time too, depended to your client size. Please note that client copy operation should be performed by standard SAP client management tools, such as client export/import or remote copy.
    Ask this question to SAP support first. Technically, you can choose many ways to copy a SAP client, but as far as I know that SAP will not support you (such as errors you faced during the client export/import or the problems related by the copy operation), if you use any other 3rd party tool while for the client copy purposes.

    OK. If you believe that.
    When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
    I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

  • Report script taking very long time to export in ASO

    Hi All,
    My report script is taking very long time to execute and finally a message appears as timed out.
    I'm working on ASO Cubes and there are 14 dimensions for which i need to export all data for all the dimensions for only one version.
    The data is very huge and the member count in each dimension is also huge, so which is making me difficult to export the data.
    Any suggestions??
    Thanks

    Here is a link that addresses several ways to optimize your report script. I utilize report scripts for Level 0 exports in an ASO environment as well, however the majority of our dimemsions are attribute dimensions.
    These are the most effective solutions we have implemented to improve our exports via report scripts:
    1. Make sure your report script is written in the order of how the Report Extractor retrieves data.
    2. Supressing Zero and Missing Data
    3. We use the LINK command within reports for some dimensions that are really big and pull at Level 0
    4. Using Symmetric reports.
    5. Breakout the exports in multiple reports.
    However, you may also consider some additional solutions outlined in this link:
    1. The MDX optimizing commands
    2. Back end system settings
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_dbag/drpoptim.htm
    I hope this helps. Maybe posting your report script would also help users to provide feedback.
    Thanks

  • Messages are taking a very long time to send.

        Hello, I'm currently having a big problem with messages taking a very long time to actually send. The spinning wheel will stay there for hours. It only happens in one or two skype groups at a time where I can send messages normally in other groups. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

    I have been having this problem for the last 4 releases. I have had some take up to 8 hours to send before. I can usually fix it by signing out then restarting skype. Just restarting skype doesn't work, nor does just signing in again.
