Cad converted to PDF, very slow rendering upon opening Document.

The Rendering when opening the document is very slow.
It takes about 45 seconds to open, then it freezes for another 10 seconds before one can view it.
iv'e read alot and tried different suggestions, but no solution so far.
Testet on Adobe Reader 10.1 and 9.2, and Acrobat 9.1. All the same.
The Document it self has been coverted form Cad to PDF, and has a very large resolution, it is 1.8MB, upon opening Reader uses about half a gig ram.
I've read that on opening, it has to rescale the image to fit ones resolution, and this is what takes time?
Simply wondering if anyone has any solution or explanation to why.
Thanks.

Drive A is 60 GB with 3.66GB free.
Running OSX from that drive should really slow it to a Crawl, and is getting to the dangerous point... you need at least 12GB fre, 30 GB would be better.
Nt certain why the other is so slow... did you open Activity Monitor & observe CPU, Memory & such while it is slow?
If you can free some space on the Internal, Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document

Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat. By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

When I try to convert a pdf to Word, it says the document is password protected. What should I do?

When I try to convert a pdf to Word, it says the document is password protected and the Word option is gray.

Probably, give up. But
* if you HAVE the password you can remove it with Acrobat Pro
* you can ask the document's creator for an unprotected file
Sometimes passwords are added automatically and not known, for example some banks do this; there is no solution.

Creating PS file with Adobe PDF very slow

Hallo Framers,
I use FrameMaker 7.1 and Distiller 8.1.3 under Windows XP.
As recommended in many posts on this forum, I have set Adobe PDF as my default printer. I use the Print To File setting and process the resulting PS with Distiller. However it is S-L-O-W. Making the PS of a 1250-page document takes less than 2 minutes when I use the driver of my PS printer (Xerox WorkCentre 7132PS), and 48 minutes using the Adobe PDF driver. The PS and PDF files are about the same size (900MB PS, 14MB PDF) and the appearance and links seem to be good in both.
I know that Tagged PDF can be slow, but I have switched that off in Format > Document > PDF Setup > Tags. Are there any other settings where I can speed up the Adobe PDF?

Since my name has been used in vain here at least a few times ...
(1)     My presentation from 2002 is somewhat dated. Acrobat 5 is four releases back from Acrobat 9, the current release. Likewise, the current FrameMaker at that time was FrameMaker 7.0, also four releases back from the current FrameMaker 9 (I am counting 7.1 and 7.2 as releases). Some of the recommendations from that 2002 still make sense and apply, others don't.
(2)     For example, there is the issue of the spooling settings for the Advanced tab of the Adobe PDF PostScript Printer Driver Instance. Ideally, this should be set to Start printing after last page is spooled. But if you set that option for that particular printer instance under Windows Vista or Windows 7, you break Acrobat (it is a security “feature” added by Microsoft). Leave the setting at the default of Start printing immediately if you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 (which of course implies that you must have Acrobat 8 or Acrobat 9).
(3)     The glacial speed issue is really associated with the fact that there are a number of “layers” of code interpreting each of the calls made by FrameMaker to Windows GDI to pass not only graphics to the driver to be converted to PDF, but many fragments of PostScript for purposes of providing support for reflow, structure, links, etc. If you turn off those features you really don't need for a particular publication, you will likely see significant performance improvements. Alternatively, something that essentially saves just to file without going through the driver plug-in directly feeding the Distiller may also cut the overhead.
(4)     There is no new printer driver dated from 2002 or otherwise on the Adobe website. I assume the reference is to the Adobe Universal PostScript Windows Driver Installer 1.0.6 dating back to 5/23/2002. First thing to know about this “installer” is that it won't run properly and may crash on Windows Vista and Windows 7 32-bit systems and won't run at all on 64-bit Windows systems. It is a 16-bit installer application that was originally designed for Windows'95 and Windows'98. The second and most important thing to understand is that it doesn't install any new driver on any OS versions other than Windows'9X, Windows ME, and Windows NT 4.0. For Windows 2000 and XP, it uses the existing Windows PSCRIPT5 driver and associates that with a PPD file to create a PostScript printer driver instance. Again, it installs nothing new. What you can do with this is to create a new PostScript printer driver instance using the Distiller PPD and set it to print to FILE: using that to create PostScript from FrameMaker and then funnel either manually or via a “watched folder” to the Distiller for creation of PDF from the PostScript.

Logic is slow and computer is very slow with logic open

Ok so I Reset P-RAM parameters. appleoption+pr. I understand that I probably need to run it for a while to get things rolling again. but i have been doing that for a few days now and it is slower than ever. audio is continuously dropping out and i hear the processor starting up very slowly when it should be kicking in full gear. battery 2 is always saying that memory is low upon opening a song file. i need this bad boy in lubed lighting action. what do we do here?
Powermac G5 Dual 2.5, Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi adamluv,
- Which version of LogicPro are you running?
- How much RAM do you have?
- Upgrade to Mac OSX 10.4.8
- Never open another application (and then leave it open) before you launch LP.
- Turn off airport and get rid of redundant apps like widgets etc..
- Trash your LP preferences.
- Get Onyx and perform at least weekly maintenance on your computer.
Good luck,
sonther

Mac Book Pro 15" mid 2009 after installing new hard drive and 8 gb memory, start up disk is still full, start up from power off is very slow, and programs open immediately after start up EX. word, excel. Help?

I installed a new 1tb WD hardrive in my mid 2009 macbook pro along with upgrading from 4gb to 8 gb.
My start up disk is still almost full, booting up is extremely slow, and programs open up by themselves once booted up ex:word, excel.
New TB drive shows up alng with 8 GB but, new hard drive not updating somehere? What am I missing? See screenshots below

Thanks for the response, but I'm looking for answers to a few of the other answers before I look at completeing the steps above.
1. Whyis the new TB drive recognized in image 1 but still have the original 256GB size still recognized(and almost full) in image 1 also? The HD should now be 1 TB, not 256 correct? If this were the case, the HD, would only be fraction of full capacity, Where is the disconnect between reconizing the installed tb HD but, it not being used?
2.Image Number 2 shows once again that the new tb internal HD is recognized. However, in image 3, the HD 256GB drive is still shown underneath the new HD. Does this show that I am misssing something, some step, related to confirming the new HD should be fully reconized instaed of this old 256 that still remains?
3. In image 4, the SATA heading, shows the TB hardrive, However, in image 5, the 256GB drive is still being shown under the storage heading? Once again, seems like I've missed some simple step to make this all the same?
4.Why is the start up from boot up soooo slow now. I was never even close to this slow(slower than PC startup slow) before the new HD was installed. IS this common when updraging to a new HD? Doesn't seem right?
5. Why now all of a sudden when the computer finally boots up are certain programs automatically opening up, word, excel, when they have never opened up like this before?
Summary: 1. New memory issues, 2. Very slow start up, 3. Programs opening up automatically at startup.
Until I address these issues, I'm not going to worry about loking through and deleting heavy folders.
All responses welcomed!

Adobe flash crashes constantly, certain pages will open, but very slow, or not open at all........never had a problem until I upgraded to new firefox 4

when I go to open a page, it is very slow opening, or may not open at all........circle just goes around.....this is true for any site......mail, sites I have visited many times.......never had a problem until I upgraded to firefox4.......do I need to change firewall settings? If I do, how?
Just updated adobe, it crashes more than not......

First I already have my view set to show everything so that is not the problem.
But I just tried opening "Computer" from the start button then type in profiles.ini in the address bar and hit enter. The profile manager opened with my profile listed. I selected it and hit start firefox and it opened as it should.
I closed it again and tried to open it from the shortcut in my task bar and I got the Sorry window.
But then I tried to open it from the short cut you get when you press the start button and program list and it work!
I went back to my desk top and tried the short cut on the desk top and it worked.
So I deleted the short cut on the task bar and created a new one and it worked.
I rebooted the computer and tried again and the task bar shortcut works and has the right profile.
So it seems that the problem is that the short cut was corrupted and was causing the error that caused the program to fail to open.
I had no idea a shortcut could do that. In the past I have had short cut stop working but never do what this one did.
I still have no idea where the profiles.ini is.

Clear form upon opening document

I have a two page form. I can clear the first page by clearing it on opening via the page property opening actions - clear form ... but if I do that and scroll to the second page and back to the first .. I loose everything that was entered as I guess I'm "reopening" the page. Is there a way I can clear the form upon opening the document with a document level javascript??
Thanks in advance ...
Steve

Thanks ...
I used this to cover all the fields and it worked:
this.resetForm(["Name","Date","Q1","Q2","Q3","Q4","Q5","Q6","Q7","Q8","Q9","Q10","Q11","Q1 2","Q13","Q14","Q15","Q16","Q17","Q18","Q19","Q20"]);
I tried using the expression /^Q/ rather than type out all the Q1, Q2, etc but couldn't get it to work ... so typed it all out ... is there and easier way for me to do this in the future?
Thanks again
Steve

Converting a large word file to pdf - very slow

I have a 150 page word document that I'm trying to turn into a pdf and it is taking over an hour. What is normal time? Any way to speed it up?

In SharePoint 2010 (not in Foundation) you can use word automation services application to convert doc files to pdf. It allows conversion from all word versions (starting from 97). There is a great article on this feature here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff742315.aspx I'll just provide a short snippet of word to pdf conversion:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Conversions;
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
string siteUrl = "http://localhost";
// If you manually installed Word automation services, then replace the name
// in the following line with the name that you assigned to the service when
// you installed it.
string wordAutomationServiceName = "Word Automation Services";
using (SPSite spSite = new SPSite(siteUrl))
ConversionJob job = new ConversionJob(wordAutomationServiceName);
job.UserToken = spSite.UserToken;
job.Settings.UpdateFields = true;
job.Settings.OutputFormat = SaveFormat.PDF;
job.AddFile(siteUrl + "/Shared%20Documents/Test.docx",
siteUrl + "/Shared%20Documents/Test.pdf");
job.Start();
If you are using SharePoint Foundation 2010, you should consider using some 3rd part library like
Aspose or
SyncFusion

Adobe Reader 8 open pdf very slow and used lots of memory

I use the Adobe Reader 8 to open a pdf(the pdf size not bigger than 100k)
but when i open it, it take long time to load it and use so many memory,
also, i do not have this problem on using adobe reader 7, would any one know the reason?
Thx for everyone.

Alright, i know, you can't bare to part with it, you need it, etc.etc...
try here, its an adobe reader speed up program
http://software.bootblock.co.uk/?id=adobereaderspeedup
It's a bit old though.
Also, do you have the stupid adobe startup program for reader running? This speeds up the loading of adobe reader while simultaneously slowing down your whole system. Great tradeoff.
Get foxit!
Adobe sucks!

Very slow rendering in FCP X 10.1

Rendering is taking forever. I'm using FCP X 10.1 on a MBPr with 16GB RAM and 512 SSD. Should be much quicker. Background rendering is turned off.
Is there another setting that I'm overlooking that might be slowing things down? Any ideas?

Turned it off but, unfortunately, did nothing.
Thanks, anyway

AE CC very slow rendering

Uli Grimm
Hi everybody
I just updated to the latest version of AE CC.
Now rendering in the AE render queue is extremly slow.
Projects that took an hour or two now take 12 hours or even longer!
It is the same running it through adobe media encoder!
Update:
It might be related to "upscaling" using the detail-preserving-filter.
It looks like these renderings are extremly slow with the new AE CC update.
The problem did not occur before.
Mac Pro
12-core
32 GB RAM
OSX Lion 10.7.5
Sonnet Raid DX800

After a lot of testing it seems that AECC has indeed a huge problem rendering files when using detailed preserving upscale.
The rendering time in AE and ME are extremely high which means instead of 3 hours for a feature film of 90 minutes it takes 20 hours or more.
There are no other effects used at all!
When rendering a portion in RAM preview it does the job as expected but rendering out is a nightmare.
As we experienced even standard up-scaling has this issue.0
Is there anybody of Adobe to have a look at this? Detailed preserving upscale is a nice feature and was strongly advertised by Adobe.
But it should work much quicker. Obviously CS6 is not a solution for us.

Radeon 9200, VERY slow rendering

Hi, i had to install radeon9200 instead my old GF6600GT in arch machine.
According to wiki, i have installed xf86-video-ati driver. I don't have xorg.conf.
Each time after login in KDM, when splash screen is displayed, display goes blank (or total mess) for about 1 second.
Later, in KDE, rendering is terribly SLOW.
I have fully updated system.
I have found in log this:
[root@tux ~]# grep -e '(EE)' -e '(WW)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module fbdev
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa
(WW) RADEON(0): DRI init changed memory map, adjusting ...
(WW) RADEON(0): MC_FB_LOCATION was: 0xdfffd000 is: 0xdfffd000
(WW) RADEON(0): MC_AGP_LOCATION was: 0xffffffc0 is: 0xe07fe000
What does it mean? Why rendering is even slower than old GF2 MX400 ?

Without knowing the detailed specs of your video (or the detailed specs of your computer hardware), I'd say that most likely it's that your phone video using a high compression that Premiere Elements has to decode and then re-encode. And that can take time.
With standard video on a decently powered computer, it usually takes about the running time of the video to create a DVD. But phone and other non-camcorder video can take twice the video's running time -- or more, depending on how fast your processor is.

Very slow Rendering and Exporting

Hello,
I switched to Premiere CS6 from FCP 7 after FCPX came out and haven't looked back. In a lot of ways, it's much better for certain tasks.
In others, it's not. Initially playing back "red-lined" content worked fine and i was able to view the edit before I committed to render/export.
Now, I see every 10 frames or so and it skips and stutters. Rendering and exporting times have spiked dramatically over the past month
for some unknown reason. I have a small prod company and we're using Mac Pro's (8-Core) with min of 16GBs of RAM in each.
I know there are 101 factors that go into export time, I'm just wondering if anyone if encountering the same issues.
I just pieced together a 10-min video in FCP7, all ProRes files with minimal cutting and it exported in 2.5 minutes.
The same project on Premiere was telling me 3 hours. I don't get it.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks
Dan

Rendering times are not decided purely on the length of the video.
The type of effects you have added have more impact.
Also you cannot always trust the estimated time you are given.
Have you let it render for about an hour to see whether the estimate drops dramatically?

Very very slow rendering

Hi, I purchased Pro_Motion_Menu_Kit_02 from precomposed.com, this is to add moving menus to DVDs, it allows you to add your own still images and short film footage (30 secs or so )to personalise it. When i purchased the Menu I had CS4, now Ive got CS5. I never tried the menu with CS4. As of yet Ive only got to the rendering tutorial and put the various items in the render queue and started the render process ( around 8 items). The first item takes over 3 hours to complete so Ive stopped the process as the other 7 items will take around a day to complete. since the instuation of CS5 ive upgraded my graphics card to Nvidia quadro FX 5600 which should be able to cope with the menu easily. Is there something Im doing wrong that makes the rendering process take so long? Im a novice so a number of things could be going wrong. May-be Ive not installed the graphis card so that CS5 recognises it and lets it do some of the processing itself? my OS is windows 7 unlimited and Ive got quad core and 8gb of RAM. This is my first time using after effects as well.
thanks for reading, hope you can help.
kind regards
Stu.

Let's cut to the point, shall we?: You have enabled MP rendering (Render Multiple Frames Simultanously) most likely and due to your inexperience you use the "dumb" default settings and it's completely whacking out your system, since you don't have enough RAM vs. the number of cores involved. Therefore please read the relevant help sections first. Also, depending on your settings, CoDecs and effects could be involved that are not MP safe and degrade performance, but without knowing teh exact specs, that's impossible to tell...
