Sluggish performance and slow visio image loading in Acrobat Reader

I have created a pdf file with the Adobe PDF-"printer" from an original Word document. The Word document contains image components from Visio, which have been copy-pasted into the Word document (for instance a UML diagram). While the performance in Word is OK, the performance in Adobe Reader (AR) is not. The image components render real slow in AR, sometimes taking a minute to render an A4 of image components.
Question: Is there some way to make the Adobe PDF-"printer" convert the copy-pasted image components into real images (i.e. not vector graphics)? Or is there some other performance improvement I could do?
I would also be happy to know how it can run so smooth in Word but so sluggish in pdf-format :)

Thanks Dave! I was in the middle of writing this when your post came in:
Not sure if this will help anyone, but I changed the button fill color to white and it seemed to fix the flicker. I exported each state from indesign as a PDF and recreated the button from scratch. This still had the flicker. I'm guessing something strange is happening with the transparancy of the states.
Glad to hear it's fixed!

EXTREMELY SLOW XQUERY PERFORMANCE AND SLOW DOCUMENT INSERTS

EXTREMELY SLOW XQUERY PERFORMANCE AND SLOW DOCUMENT INSERTS.
Resolution History

### Complete Problem Description ###
A test file is being used to do inserts into a schemaless XML DB. The file is inserted and then links are made to 4
different collection folders under /public. The inserts are pretty slow (about
15 per second and the file is small)but the xquery doesn't even complete when
there are 500 documents to query against.
The same xquery has been tested on a competitors system and it has lightening fast performance there. I know it
should likewise be fast on Oracle, but I haven't been able to figure out what
is going on except that I suspect somehow a cartesian product is the result of
the query on Oracle.
### SQLXML, XQUERY, PL/SQL syntax used ###
Here is the key plsql code that calls the DBMS_XDB procedures:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "XDB"."RESOURCEARRAY" AS VARRAY(500) OF VARCHAR2(256);
PROCEDURE AddOrReplaceResource(
resourceUri VARCHAR2,
resourceContents SYS.XMLTYPE,
public_collections in ResourceArray
) AS
b BOOLEAN;
privateResourceUri path_view.path%TYPE;
resource_exists EXCEPTION;
pragma exception_init(resource_exists,-31003);
BEGIN
/* Store the document in private folder */
privateResourceUri := GetPrivateResourceUri(resourceUri);
BEGIN
b := dbms_xdb.createResource(privateResourceUri, resourceContents);
EXCEPTION
WHEN resource_exists THEN
DELETE FROM resource_view WHERE equals_path(res, privateResourceUri)=1;
b := dbms_xdb.createResource(privateResourceUri, resourceContents);
END;
/* add a link in /public/<collection-name> for each collection passed in */
FOR i IN 1 .. public_collections.count LOOP
BEGIN
dbms_xdb.link(privateResourceUri,public_collections(i),resourceUri);
EXCEPTION
WHEN resource_exists THEN
dbms_xdb.deleteResource(concat(concat(public_collections(i),'/'),resourceUri));
dbms_xdb.link(privateResourceUri,public_collections(i),resourceUri);
END;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
FUNCTION GetPrivateResourceUri(
resourceUri VARCHAR2
) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
BEGIN
return concat('/ems/docs/',REGEXP_SUBSTR(resourceUri,'[a-zA-z0-9.-]*$'));
END;
### Info for XML Querying ###
Here is the XQuery and a sample of the output follows:
declare namespace c2ns="urn:xmlns:NCC-C2IEDM";
for $cotEvent in collection("/public")/event
return
<cotEntity>
{$cotEvent}
{for $d in collection("/public")/c2ns:OpContextMembership[c2ns:Entity/c2ns:EntityIdentifier
/c2ns:EntityId=xs:string($cotEvent/@uid)]
return
$d
</cotEntity>
Sample output:
<cotEntity><event how="m-r" opex="o-" version="2" uid="XXX541113454" type="a-h-G-" stale="2007-03-05T15:36:26.000Z"

Performance and Slowness

I've noticed that SharePoint has become slower than usual at loading pages and uploading documents, loading the ribbon, etc...
What is the best way to get a report of performance? So that I can find out what the culprit is.
thanks!

Hey,
You can try to unable Developer Dashboard which provides performance and tracing information that can be put into good use to debug and troubleshoot page rendering time issues.

Using the Developer Dashboard in SharePoint 2010
Additionally, You can use plugins called FireBug and YSlow in Firefox that should help.
Thanks,

Lots of errors and slow web page loading.

Sometimes I'll click on a website and it just wont load at all.

I make greetings cards and use images downloaded from cardmaking websites eg - cently I find I cannot copy and paste an image from adobe reader which is the how the images are downloaded. Why is this and how do I copy and paste an image on a adobe reader

copying and pasting images from adobe. I make greetings cards and use images downloaded from cardmaking websites eg - printable heaven. Recently I find I am unable to copy and paste the images which are opened in adobe reader. Why ? How can I overcome this problem.

Check the document properties; is copying allowed?

Problem reopening and/or refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0

I upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 and have encountered problems refreshing PDF files in the Safari 2.0.4 browser when I am logged into the secure area for Value Line Publishing. Some of the PDF Files in this area can be opened and/or refreshed multiple times. Other PDF files in this area allow me to open them once. I cannot reopen those previously viewed files (or refresh the screen) -- after refreshing, the window changes to a blank white screen, and the files do not reopen.
I am perplexed because I do not have difficulty refreshing the PDF files (within Safari) using the native PDF viewer, I did not have problems refreshing files using Acrobat Reader V. 7.0 and I do not appear to have problems refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 when I am outside the secure area or on other web sites.
I have replaced the Acrobat Reader plug-in, manually removed all remnants of previous versions of Acrobat Reader and reinstalled V. 8.0. and I also upgraded from Mac OS 10.4.8 to 10.4 9, all to no avail.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
I can also download the PDF files to my hard drive and refresh them multiple times within Safari and also using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0
The software personnel at Value Line Publishing have investigated their system and have referred me back to Apple. Has anyone heard of similar problems associated with Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 used in conjunction with Safari 2.0.4?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Rodney
Welcome to Apple Discussions
This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.

Links included into a PDF (to other PDFs) do not open in Surface RT and it works normally in normal Acrobat Reader in Windosw 8 in a desktop PC. ¿Why? Thanks

I have created a PDF in Acrobat X Pro that contains several links to other PDFs for interactivity in a publicación. It Works with no problems in Acrobat Reader in a PC but does not in the version for Surface 2 RT (Reader Touch). What's the problem?
Thanks
J.M.

QUOTE>>>To clarify, you would need to first check to see if the PDF extension is set to open (screenshot.20). THIS IS THE AREA THAT PDF IS NOT IN.
If it is not set to open with Acrobat <your version here> (screenshot.21), then you will need to manually tell the computer what program to use. This is where it becomes important to know the filename you are looking for. Adobe is a company; Acrobat is a program. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I TRIED TO DO AND OF COURSE I KNOWN I USED THE WRONG NAME / WORD HERE BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR THE CORRECT FILE. WHEN I CHOSE THE ACROBAT.EXE FILE IT WOULD STILL OPEN IN INTERNET EXPLORER.
I have a different version than you do, but as an example, my program is located here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe I'M IN THE RIGHT AREA AND GOT THE RIGHT FILE NAME. THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE.
Can we get off the wrong word use and get back to a solution please. I am in the right folder c:\program files\adobe\acrobat 8.0\acrobat.exe and I am browsing for ACROBAT.exe (not ADOBE.exe - again wrong word in my first discussion)
Bad day, sorry!

Sluggish performance (and Adobe applications slow)

Not sure what the problem is here, well, outside of my Mac running rather sluggishly lately. Even Adobe applications take AT LEAST a minute or more to open up. I seem to be getting the spinning beach ball more often than not jumping between applications at times as well. And watch out if I leave the computer on 7 or more days straight... ouch, the performance drags.
I've zapped the PRAM, repaired and verified permissions and the drive, my hard drive is only at 30% capacity, so I'm a little stumped about the performance issue.

How many applications are you running at the same time? Perhaps you need more RAM.

3G iOS4 resulting in sluggish performance and horribly slow calendar

I "upgraded" my iPhone 3G using the restore method which in itself was trouble free.
However, the whole UI is now sluggish and even worse, the Calendar app is PAINFULLY stilted. My MobileMe calendars are visible, but the screen freezes, after a pause (5-10 seconds); the calendars disappear! Then after another pause (10 seconds or so), they reappear!
Generally, the whole phone feels laggy with button presses seemingly not responding and then the OS playing catchup.
Anyone else had Calendar slow-down/pauses happen?
Greg

I am having the same issue. Subscribed calendars seem to be the major issue. I have 5 or 6 subscribed calendars that when I uncheck in the Calendar settings on the iphone to not show, the calendar app is much more responsive. Now when I open the Calendar the events show then reappear in a second or two but the app does not lock up as it did with subscribed calendars showing.

Height and width of image loaded into blob?

i am loading images into my database which is all working fine. in parts of my app i am displaying these images so i am wondering is there a way to get the dimensions (height an width) of the image you are loading in so that when it comes time to display you can scale as needed but the aspect ratio is the same so then the image is not distorted by just putting some random values for height and width.
 
eg
instead of
 
select decode(file_type,'I','<imge src="OWNER.download_file?p_file=' || nvl(file_id,0) ||'" height="100" width="100" />','') from project_file
where file_id = :P31_FILE_ID
 
i want to replace 100 with values from columns in table that were loaded at time of save

thanks scott. is it correct to say that this example is storing the image at whatever size the user puts in the width and height boxes on screen? thats what it looks like to me anyway. i see there are functions to get these but does the user have to enter them still? it will be just what i need if indeed I do need it!
Yes, that's correct. Of course you could modify the code so that you choose the size of the image, and not allow the user to change it.
Thanks,

I have repeatibly loaded Adobe Acrobat Reader but the Plugin Check gives me Adobe Acrobat Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 Outdated Version Update. While the plug in check is important it is quite bothersome at present. Please help.

EVERY TIME the browser boots it kicks off the plug in check. I understand that this is important but it is currently a pain. Once I update Adobe Acrobat Plug in the browser does not recognize that the plug in has been installed and keeps coming up and up an up an up.
This is the message I get.

Question on PDF files with linked images (not embedded) between Reader and Illustrator

I run into situations when I get customer PDFs that need to be edited. When they load in Acrobat Reader it works fine. However if I load it into Illustrator it asks me to point it to the linked file. The question is how does Acrobat Reader open a PDF file and show a linked file when it is not embedded? Why can't Illustrator do the same thing?
This is more of a technical question, but any information would be helpful. Thanks.

For linked images, your PDF file contains a thumbnail image along with the reference or address of the actual image. Reader will display this thumbnail. Now, wanting to edit the PDF in Illustrator, it wants to enable you working on the actual image. Hence it asks you to point to the linked file.

Problems with image loader 'swissarmy.js' in 7.0.1

My Javascript image loader 'swissarmy.js' at www.sustainableaggregates.com loads images right justified in 7.0.1, in older versions of Firefox or all other current browsers it's OK.
Is this a bug in Firefox 7.0.1 rendering engine or is it down to a bad piece of Javascript. Swissarmy.js is used a lot in many websites.
Will a future imminent FF upgrade cure this or do I need to source a new image loader script?

Difference between opening pdf in IE and from Acrobat Reader?

What is the difference between opening a pdf straight from a link in IE and going file open in Acrobat Reader, does one use the settings in IE and one use the settings in Acrobat Reader? I have a problem with some files on a company website which take a very long time to download when you click on them to open from IE but when they are saved to disk and then opened they are fine?
Using Acrobat Reader 9.0 with windows XP SP2
PS opening the file from the website works find with Adobe Acrobat 8 but not with 9.....

Not sure about the exact differences but loading pdf files to view in a browser seems to have a high overhead (as in memory required to load and display the file). For that reason I prefer to view all pdf's in the reader. It's just quicker to load and smoother when scrolling to read.
