Slow PDF Scrolling

On my 15" rMBP, my PDFs are very slow to scroll.  It will be the only PDF open and I have open each file in it's own window checked.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks!

  • Slow PDF scrolling on new 12" MacBook

    I recently tried the new 12" MacBook at the Apple Store and noted very poor PDF scrolling and re-sizing. It was very choppy for even basic scientific journal articles without many bitmaps or vector graphic images. Has anyone else experienced this? I was able to reproduce it on several machines. The MacBook Airs and Pros each were generally fast and even faster with transparency off.

    Please see Bluetooth not seen in Windows as a reference. The new 12" MB has BT issues with Windows.

  • Safari 6 Slow PDF Scroll and Behavior !!!!

    ! Hi !
    I've just upgraded from Lion to ML and noticed something wierd.  If I open a pdf link in Safari 6, and the embedded PDF viewer starts, safari becomes Slow scrolling the PDF and sometimes Stops for 2 pr 3 seconds.
    Is Anyone having the same problem?
    Can someone help me?
    Best Regards,
    Stejimenez

    Just adding my $.02 here as well, Safari Version 6.0 (8536.25) seems buggy, for example, right now none of my keyboard shortcuts work, changing tabs, back, or the mouse gestures like back or scrolling do not work.
    for clairfication I'm on a Macbook Pro 17 OS X 10.8 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
    I use the following key commands in chrome and used to use them in Safari before Mountain Lion upgrade:
    ⌘ ←  to go back (doesn't work in Safari 6.0)
    ⌘⌥← (or ⌘⌥→) to switch tabs (doesn't work in Safari 6.0)
    I use the following gestures in chrome and used to use them in Safari before Mountain Lion upgrade:
    two-finger vertical swipe to scroll (doesn't work in Safari 6.0)
    three-finger horzontal swipe to the left to go back (doesn't work in Safari 6.0)
    Through further testing I think it's site specific, gestures do not work while on stackoverflow or facebook, but do work on w3cschools and wordpress.org -- huh.
    Others out there experience the same issue

  • FF 19 + Newest Adobe Reader = Failure. The newest update to FF with the newest Adobe reader is absolutely horrible. It is slow to load, slow to scroll pages,

    Using FF19 and apparently Adobe reader 11.0.2.0. This new version is HORRIBLE, very slow to scroll pages, and flat out does not work with some work web pages I need. How do I revert to a previous version of Adobe to get back to the old format and layout that works well? I tried disabling the plug-in in FF and it did not change.

    hello, firefox 19 has introduced its own integrated pdf viewer - if you want to switch back to the plugin you've used before to view pdfs just go to firefox options > applications & scroll down and define the default action for the '''portable document format (pdf)'''.

  • Images in PDF scrolling open?

    If I print an image-heavy presentation from Indesign (or powerpoint) to PDF the images in the PDF  scroll open - looks unprofessional. How can I get the whole page to open at once?

    Hi Ruth,
    Open the PDF file in Acrobat and choose File > Properties > Initial View.  Make sure 'Magnification' is set to 'Fit Page'.
    Save the document.

  • Cover flow slow to scroll in Vista with Nvidia GeForce 8400M

    I recently purchased a new laptop with vista service pack 1. One issue is the cover flow motion is really slow to scroll compared to my last computer using xp. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?

    I have had the same problem with my new Dell XPS notebook since I bought it in mid Feb. I have googled the problem and a lot of users are also having this problem. Cover flow mode is painfully slow and unuseable. If you find a fix, please post.

  • Slower pdf rendering since v26?

    I noticed a slower PDF rendering (iOS) on v26 compared to earlier versions. Did anyone have same behaviors?

    I would suspect you have not tried reading a .PDF file on your Windows 10 TP system because there is in fact a WindowsApp called Reader as noted by MakeMeLaugh that does indeed read .PDF files.

  • PDF Scrolling in Safari

    Pdfs scroll very badly in Safari. It is jerky, very sensitive, too fast. This has come up before in the Communities, but the solutions I've found either don't work or aren't relevant after OSX updates. In preview scrolling is well behaved.  Any update solutions?
    I am using a Magic Mouse on an iMac running OSX 10.9.1,  Safari Version 7.0.1 (9537.73.11).
    Same problem on a MBP (same setup).
    Thanks

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • How to slow Motion Scroll Effects and anchors?

    I am using a down pointing arrow to cue the user to scroll down to the next section. I thought I could automate by linking the arrow to an anchor that is positioned down the page. Cool, it works. However, the jump is so fast that all the fancy Motion Scroll Effects I'm using on the next section are nearly invisible. I see that this site does what I want when you press the "Scroll Down" graphic: Digital Marketing Agency in Johannesburg, South Africa
    Is it possible to slow down the browser scroll when jumping to an anchor, using only Muse?
    Thanks,
    JohnS

    There's no way of controlling the speed of the scroll, other than the distance between your trigger and the anchor points. Since it uses an ease in control, the closer the anchor is to the trigger, the slower the scroll will be and likewise, the further away the anchor, the quicker it scrolls.

  • Premiere Elements 11 + Windows 8 pro = slow timeline scrolling!

    Hi!
    I experience slow redraw of the timeline clips when I scroll,
    which makes it very difficult, slow and unpleasant to edit!
    This in nothing new to you all, as I have read in many posts about this problem!
    And everyone is asking (below these posts) questions like:
    "do you have the latest QuickTime codecs?" or "do you have the latest graphics drivers?"
    or that our pc are slow or that we work with strange video formats or to change to no thumbnail in the clips or that its
    the antivirus fault or whatever.
    It is not all these!
    As I have read:
    -It can happen in many versions of Premiere Elements(maybe in all of them, I don't know)
    -It can happen in both ATI/AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards
    -It can happen in all hardware configurations CPU/motherboards
    -It can happen in all windows versions and both 32/64 bit
    So I am guessing it is not our fault.
    Can Adobe finally fix this problem with an update? It's been so many versions until now!
    please... Is it so difficult?
    Can't the programmers see what are we talking about? Can't they fix the programme?
    Before I bought Premiere Elements 11 I had the 9 version in windows 7(64bit)
    The same problem, slow/laggy timeline redraw when moving back and forth.
    The solution I found was to disable the Aero feature in windows 7!
    And oh my god... the timeline then was so fast and smooth, I was so happy to edit!
    So I compromised with that(disabling aero).
    Recently I have upgrad the same PC to windows 8 pro(64 bit) AND bought Premiere Elements 11. (hoping for speed in every possible way!)
    The slow timeline scrolling still happens in both PRE9 and in PRE11.
    And guess what? in windows 8 pro you can't disable the "aero feature"!!!
    You can only change some visual settings, and even if I disable all of them, nothing changes!
    So are we really stuck with the laggy timeline scrolling in windows 8???
    Premiere Elements 11 is so much faster in all other things (exept the timeline scrolling)
    In the preview window for example. It can play really smooth, in real time WITHOUT render preview
    some pretty difficult compositions I make! multiple layers, with greenbox and many other filter effects!
    Which in Premiere Elements 9 (in the same PC) the preview play was very laggy!
    (don't forget that with aero disabled in PE9(win7), same PC, same complicated compositions, timeline scrolling superfast!)
    I think they made some pretty good graphic card use in the preview play in PRE11!
    I present and edit a youtube show with Premiere Elements with demanding compositing and everyone thinks I use Premiere Pro CS 
    version or After Effects CS. But I don't, I want to be legal and I can't aford the prices of these applications
    so I buy and use the Elements series which are very powerful as well, if you know what to do and HOW to do it!
    See for youselves my show I posted today(in Greek, I am from Greece), which I edited in PRE11.(pefrect greenbox, perfect!)
    http://youtu.be/HdKAKI6P8tU?hd=1&t=1m28s (open in a new window)
    or move time to 1:28 from the below youtube video window.
    But unfortunattely the timeline scrolling made my editing unpleasant and slow!
    My question is: Will I, (now that I have upgraded to windows 8 pro 64bit) have to edit ALL my next shows/videos
    with the slow/laggy timeline scrolling??? please tell me something to hope for...

    I have an ATI/AMD FirePro  v4800 1GB GDDR5 with the latest drivers for this card (8.982.8.3)
    Is my video card not compatible?
    this slow redraw of the timeline happened way before
    and everytime a new driver version came up I had installed it but that didn't change anything.
    Only with aero disabled I would enjoy a fast timeline scrolling in windows 7. (now, not possible in windows 8 pro)
    Bill how can you explain this? Same video card and everytime with the SAME NEW drivers, aero on=slow timeline, aero off=fast timeline!
    Is there some kind of a fix that we can always wait from our graphics card companies to include to new drivers??? (for how long???)
    or maybe is it all up to Adobe and its own programme?
    Are we all supposed to have old video display drivers?
    Can someone make some kind of a poll for people who have this problem to vote to see where this problem apears, in which configurations, in which graphics cards? (assuming they have latest drivers)
    so we all finally know what/where is the problem.
    I love the premiere elements series and thats why I want this to be solved.

  • Slow to scroll

    All of a sudden my Logic Pro X is super slow, even scrolling up and down through the tracks/up and down on the page to see tracks below off the screen, the program is slow, staggers, stops and starts. I have maybe 25 tracks but very little plugins running, never had this problem before, is there a reason I am missing?
    I do not have any plugins going that are not native to Logic X Pro
    I restarted my computer and the external hard drive I am running the files from, as well as my audio interface?

    Thank you so much, I downloaded and ran the program:
    When logic x is open, with me simple scrolling up and down the screen with my trackpad on a project with automation I got this (I am using Mavericks still never updated).
    I am going to try a brand new project and add automation and see if it happens right away.
    Problem description:
    Whenever I have automation in my project, the project slows down whenever I try to do something, even as simple as scrolling up and down the screen.

  • Qt4 updated to 4.8.7: Slow text scrolling and higher load time.

    System is fully upgraded, and i just noticed that every qt4 application has become incredibly slow when using QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native (slow dolphin scrolling, slow konsole scrolling)
    It is probably related to text antialiasing, because if i disable subpixel hinting in konsole, it start to scroll fast.
    Reverting back to 4.8.6 fixes it.
    I want to use native instead of raster because:
    1) when used remotely via x2go and ssh, qt apps are very fast using QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native
    2) with QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native one is able to retain RGB subpixel hinting even over trasparent windows.
    I'm using nvidia-340xx 340.76 with a geforce 9800GT and  freetype2-infinality 2.4.12-2 if it matters.
    Anybody can help please?
    -EDIT
    This does not seem to be related to an update of the xorg-server, nor to the graphic driver; i notice the same behaviour when using a remote (fast) vnc connection.
    I bet it is a QT4 bug; someone could test please?
    Last edited by kokoko3k (2015-06-19 15:56:35)

    It is not just the text scrolling under native graphicssystem to be slow.
    All qt4 apps with text edit widgets are now slower to open, even with raster graphicssystem.
    Gambas3 ide takes 6 seconds to start; on 4.8.6 it starts in 2 seconds here.
    Just reported both:

  • Since I installed IOS 8.0.2 (was ok on IOS7),on my iPad 4 "photos" don't scroll properly, it freezes and staggers, it's really slow to scroll to the bottom of the page (in Album, Events From My IMac) it's very annoying!

    I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
    Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
    If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure.

  • Why is PDF scrolling not always smooth and very slow?

    With some of my adobe reader pdf's, when I scroll along, it goes super slow.  Sometimes, when I stop scrolling, the document keeps moving for several seconds, so I then have to scroll back up to where I wanted to be.  Why does this happen with some documents?  Is there a way to fix it?  Is there another reader that might help in those situations?
    Aaron (first time asking a question on this or almost any forum)  (email address removed by host)

    Although "normally" using too much memory causes these types of problems, I currently have the latest and fully loaded machine (macbook pro retina with maxed out memory....), so I did not think that was the issue, although still a helpful suggestion.
    However, I have solved the problem, for anyone interested.  I searched several forum discussions on this website and saw a lot of references to using "preview" rather than adobe reader, to read my longer pdf's.  I followed one suggestion, changing the settings to "change all" pdf's to be opened and read through preview.  OMG, what a difference!  It is perfect now, an amazing difference.  So, I am happy, as my digital ebooks in pdf form are now actually readable.
