Interactive forms takes too long to load - sometimes crashes reader.

Hi Gurus,
I'm just wondering if anyone have this problem?
I just configured ADS and created a sample WD program to display an interactive form, the form is not complex, only 2 text fields and an image.
But when I deploy or run the program, the interactive form container hangs and take very long to process before displaying.
After I save the PDF file to a local drive, when I try to open it, it will take very long and sometimes crash my system.
Even when I click on "PDF Preview" to view the form in NWDS it take very long too.
At first I thought it could be due to my system and I open downloaded PDF file on other PCs, but the problem occurs too in those PCs.
Using Acrobat Reader 8.1.2, then downgraded to 8.1.1, still no avail.
Everytime I open the PDF or WD loads the PDF, when I check the Task Manager the process of AcroRdr32 will hog the system processes and use up the memory. I have no problems with other PDF files, only those generated by the WD application gives problems.
Someone hit the same problem? Any advise? Could it be the ACF or Adobe lifecycle issues?
Please help. Thanks for all answers.
Best Regards,
Jansen

Hi Jansen,
If you are using Adobe Reader 8.1.* or above and activex controls in your form, you need to install the latest version of ACF and that will resolve the issue. And do remember to uninstall your old version of Adobe Reader first and then install Reader 8.1.* freshly and after installing it proceed with ACF installation. You have to follow the sequence.
For ACF installation you may read Note 766191 - Active Component Framework Installation.
ACF Installable:

Interactive form takes very long to load

Hi Gurus,
I have developed an interactive form with several Dropdowns and text fields. I am using WebDynPro ActiveX drop down and binded it to context which is of SimpleType and populated from backend. My form is taking very long to load and once I save it locally the also it takes too long to open.
Below is the config used:
- Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0
- Adobe Lifecycle Designer 7
- NWDS 7.0.14
- xACF ver 711_0
- J2EE server 2004s SP12
Previously I was using WDP Native Dropdowns and popuulated then without simple type, that time form was loading finely (in 10 sec).
Please help me out in resolving this issue.

Arafat

Dear Arafat,
Have you resolved it?
I met the same problem with you.
If you had resolved, please help me.

Page takes too long to load because of videos

Hi. I have a website that I made, but the page takes too long to load because there are videos on it. Is there any way to stop the videos from auto-loading and instead only load when someone clicks on them to play?

There are several ways to have videos on a page without having them load until they are selected to play. A couple are:
1 - Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This test site has 9 videos on the page: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
2 - QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player. This method is more difficult to implement.

HT4352 apple tv takes too long to load photos

I am running iTunes (11.1.5.5) on Windows 7 and have setup home sharing and accessing the Photo Library from Apple TV 3rd Generation.
We have a lots of photos (approx 21000) organizaed in folders, eg:
Main Photo Folder
Folder 1 (5500 photos)
F1-Sub 1
F1-Sub 2
F1-Sub 3
Folder 2 (3500 photos)
F1-Sub 1
F1-Sub 2
F1-Sub 3
Folder 3 (12000 photos)
F1-Sub 1
F1-Sub 2
F1-Sub 3
Apple TV doesn't show the sub-folders beyond the first set of folders and as a result it takes too long to load our list of photos, is there anything that can be done to fix this?
Thanks!

I am having exactly the same issue. Moved house and now starting a movie takes minutes, not seconds... I've got both the Mac and ATV connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme base station, but have no explanation for this bizarre slowdown. I also don't have internet currently, but I can't understand with content not purchased on iTunes, why that would make any difference...?

[SOLVED] initramfs takes too long to load

Using systemd-analyze I found out that initramfs takes too long to load:
463ms (kernel) + 11875ms (initramfs) + 6014ms (userspace) = 18353ms
My HOOKS array in mkinitcpio.conf is the following:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block encrypt lvm2 filesystems usbinput fsck"
I suspect that the long loading time of initramfs is caused by partitions decryption (I am using dm-crypt / LUKS on top of LVM).
Is there any tool that can report loading times of HOOKS seperately, just like systemd-analyze plot does for userspace?

In what sense is it "too long"?
I'm just wondering: suppose that you find out that it is because you are using encryption. Would you then switch to a non-encrypted system? Would you make better use of the extra seconds you might save on those rare occasions when you reboot? Even if you reboot twice a day, you might save what? Suppose you would even save 5s per boot. That will give you a whole extra 1 minute and 10 seconds a week. Assuming you don't multitask. Obviously if you multitask, the gain will be less. Would that make it worth risking the security of your data?
EDIT: I didn't mean this to sound as confrontational as it does now I read it back. It just always puzzles me that people are so concerned about shaving a few milliseconds here and there. I always hope that they put the time they save to good use but then I realise that the time they spent shaving the milliseconds off will obviously outstrip the time saved.
I really don't care about the boot time because of the reasons you have already mentioned. I just want to figure out if there is any misconfiguration. I am just investigating why initramfs takes significant longer to load compared with my desktop Arch installation (non-encrypted) 1316ms for initramfs. My desktop has a Pentium 4 CPU and laptop has a quad-core i7.

systemd-analyze is not counting the time is spent to type the password.

Apple TV Gen 3 takes too long to load 15,000 photos. Do I need to go back to ATV Gen 1?

I just purchased Apple TV (Gen 3) It takes too long to load my over 15,000 photos for viewing. This was never a problem with my ATV (Gen 1). Do I need to go back to ATV Gen 1?

Do you have a technical question?
What have you done to troubleshoot?
Typically issues like this are related to the local network. First thing would be to try ethernet, if on wifi. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV, router.
You can go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network.

Keep gettng messages to update but it takes too long to load, why?

Keeping getting messages to update FIREFOX. When the link is clicked it takes a very long time to load. Therefore, to date the updates have not happened.

What is taking too long to load with respect to the page you linked?

Takes too long to load a ses file

Why does it take so long to load a *.ses file? To me it seems that it takes waaaaaaaaaay too long.

It just now took 3 minutes 55 seconds to load a 1.40 MB ses file. All files probably total 5-600 MBs. A whole lot of effects. I have an AMD Athlon 4200 64 X2 Dual Core. 4 GB ram.
Waaaaaay too long. I hate to close the ses file when I'm through for the day cause I have to load it back in.
I have pk files turned off. I guess I'll have to turn them back on. I hate all those little files cluttering up my drive. I guess it's a trade off, though. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Thanks for the replies.

Forms Takes TOOOOOO Long to Load

Hi all,
I am having a form containing a tabbed canvas consisting of 7 tab pages.There are approximately 8 blocks containing nearly 300 items in total(mainly display items and buttons and no image items) and nearly 10 form level program units and 2 libraries attached.
In this scenario my forms takes 5 seconds to load and open up.I am running on a Windows 2000 machine(PIII,256 Mb Ram, 20 GB hard disk)in client server mode.
So how do I tune/Tweak my form to make it load quickly....
One more aspect I am wondering is that is there any way to track the DML statements forms issues implicitly whenever a commit operation happens.Is there any system variable similar to :system.last_query for this??.....
Any help/Suggestions are appreciated.....

Try to make VISBLE ON only those required.
Make Visible Property OFF for all the canvases initially and then Make VISIBLE ON on When-New-Form-Instance Trigger for required Canvases. Rest will be VISIBLE ON when they are accessed.
Do not Make items or canvases ON and OFF frequenty.
Use the concept of "message diff-ing"
hnOn the Form!&s initial display, hiding elements not immediately required. Use the item properties:
hnRAISE ON ENTRY = YES (Canvas only)
hnVISIBLE = NO
Forms when loading the Initial Form gets the Message Packets for Each item and each Canvas. For Example if you have 2 Canvases and set the Visible = YES at Design Time for both the Canvases then the Forms will first Load the Canvas and then gets the properties of each Item in the Canvas which will increase the time for Loading the Initial Screen.
When you set the Visible = NO at Design time and Set the Visible property on the When New Form Instance trigger then forms Server will send the Packets of all the Items in one Bundle and the Painting will be done after the form gets Initialized. This will reduce lot of Traffic on the Network as we are getting the item information in One packet for all the items, which will improve the timing on loading the Initial Form.
Care should be taken in defining the RAISE ON ENTRY property. Raise on Entry should be set to yes only for the Stacked canvases but not for Content Canvases. If you set the Content canvas RAISE ON ENTRY = YES for content canvas which contains stacked canvases then the Raise on Entry will show the Content Canvas and the all the stacked canvases will be disappeared.
For Ex. If your form has some Items on the Content Canvas and you have a Tab canvas which has 3 Tabs, which is Stacked to the Content. Then when you navigate to any item in the Content Canvas you will not see the Tab Canvases as the Raise on Entry on the Content Canvas will only raise the Content Canvas but not the Stacked Canvases.
Pay attention to TAB canvases that consist of several sheets where only one will ever be displayed.
For responsive switching between tabs, all items for all sheets on the canvas are loaded, including
those that are hidden behind the initial tab. Consequently, the time taken to load and initialize a TAB canvas is related to all objects on the canvas and not just to those initially visible. So the best approach is to put the other Tab canvases on a different Canvas(if possible) and the Canvas visible property to No and Raise on Entry to Yes which will pop up when the user navigates to that canvas.

Activation of Adobe Form takes too long / XML problem?

Dear all,
I copied a standard form to customer name a year ago with life cycle designer version 7. The designer was updated to 8.
When making a change to the adobe form now, the activation takes more than 30 minutes in some cases. I copied the original form again and the activation takes less than 3 minutes.
When calling the XML Coding-tab within the designer it also takes very long and in some cases the system crashes ....
Has anyone an idea why this happens and if there is anything that i can do with changing attributes or other settings? I also tried to copy the copied form again. Same problem. Only when copying the standard form the activation is normal. I made too many changes so to start over again would take long. I would like to avoid this.
Thank you!
Regards
Viktoria

Hi,
I could not solve this. Had to create the form again. Tried to copy most of the elements into it.
Now it works again and is activated within 1-2 minutes.
So no real solution...

Flash takes too long to load online

Hi All,
I am creating a web page using flash and it takes a long time
to load when you go to the webpage. it opens as if it is working,
but then the links don't work properly...that is...until at the
bottom of the browser window it says "done" instead of "waiting for
http://www.blah blah blah..." once it
says "done" it works just fine.
two questions:
1. is there a way to reduce the size of the flash file so
that it loads quicker online?
2. OR..does anyone know how to create that little "intro"
screen when you go to a website that says "loading" and you see a
little bar loading....and then only when it is COMPLETELY loaded,
does the flash begin?
thanks so much!

Hi Meesh, I know exactly how you feel, I was there when i
first started. Worry not!! Best and to keep your loading time down,
is to keep your .SWF files separate, and load them into your site
according.
eg..
Template ---=> make sure this ONLY consisits of the site's
look, and navigation.
BG pics -----=> make a separate SWF containing your pics
if they are quite large in size.
Each Page --=> make each page separate SWF, and load them
separately via your navigation.
Basically when planning your site, think how you can break it
up into sections that you can load separately.
Then use the pre-loading code that Michaeltowse gave you, at
the beginning of each separate SWF you make, to make it all
complete with a loading bar.
Hope this helps. Good luck

Opening a sequence takes too long to load

TestStand 3.1 sequence takes very long (4 minutes) to load. Same sequence takes a few seconds only at another PC.
The delay is at a Thread.PostUIMessage ActiveX call.
Any idea, what's wrong?
Thanks!

Hi,
Do you have some network paths in you TestStand Search Directories, if so you might try removing them.

Program now takes too long to load...

When I launch the program now there's a LOT of disk activity (assuming it's looking for associated files) then after that there's the normal load time for the project I'm opening. Any ideas? Does the program have an optimization scheme? Thanks

Photos take too long to load

I have had my website running for months now. I regularly add new photo pages, with up to 300 photos a time. the photo pages always take some time to load (a couple of minutes) but this is fine. then when you click a photo, it takes another minute to load all thumbnails and be ready to navigate to other photos (in the enlarged view).
normally, at this stage, clicking the thumbnails, or next would load up the other images instantly. very quick. NOW, every time i click on a thumbnail, it takes over 5 seconds to load next photo.
why has this changed??
as i am writing this, i realise it only happens on windoze/IE7. as my dad and next door neighbour have both just got vista. that disgusting attempt at an os.
grrr. i hate vista and i hate bill gates.
anyway, could someone who's got access to a vista machine try downloading Firefox - if you haven't already, and see if it fixes the problem. photo pages - enlarged version - clicking from thumbnail to thumbnail - should be very quick.
please try this. thanks a lot

What format are you pictures? When you don't need them in a special format changing them to a .gif will reduce the file size a lot and the quality is still great.
I mostly use .gif so i can guarantee a fast loading of the site.
Tip: Don't name your pictures just like 1,2,3 etc.. By giving them a small description as a name (p.e. '30Tablet_MultivitaminBottle.gif') helps your google search ranking.

Coldfusion Page takes too long, to Load.

Hi All,
I have just moved into Coldfusion technology. My expertise is
predominantly on Oracle and PL/SQL development.
In the application i am working on, we are currently facing,
an issue. We have a requirement, that is handled by dynamic
dropdowns. We use Javascript to control the values loaded in a
dropdown. (By default, the Country, State, City, Facility and
Facility Type for a user will be loaded. He can choose any of the
values in the dropdown and that would control the other dropdown's.
If a Country is chosen, the states corresponding to that country
should be loaded in the next drop down .. and so on ... )
We have drop downs like, Country, State, City, Facility and
Facility Types. The backend, sends across, all the values as the
combinations of Country,State,City, Facility and FacilityTypes that
have been rolled out , to enable selection as a refcursor. The page
load was surprisngly taking about 91 seconds!! We did check the
record volumes and they are not more than 1500 rows. Also, the
database queries, execute in 130 microseconds each. Thus, the code
is indeed optimized from the database perspective.
The Issue i am facing is the performance hit when the page
loads. For just 1500 rows of the combinations i have mentioned, it
takes 94 seconds. It takes only 24 seconds in my offshore. However,
i have verfied machine configurations and i seem to have a better
configuration that my offshore team. Yet, it takes more time to
load here. Also, does the CF application server parse all the
functions OnLoad, Onchange even before the Page is loaded? Anyone
who has already encountered this issue?
Cheers,
J

What version of CF (guessing 6.1 according to your username)?
What database?
What database driver?
Is the database indexed correctly?
Is the database local?
Are you caching your queries, since a list of states is
unlikely to change?
What hardware on the server?
Are your heap sizes optimized in the CF Administrator?
