Turn off "Optimizing for fast web viewing"?

I downloaded a .doc file from the internet with Firefox and saved it to hard drive. Then I had it converted to a .pdf format online via zamzar.com. Then I opened it with Adobe Reader XI and saved it to hard drive, but it changes size in that process. There's a popup near lower right of screen saying "Optimizing for Fast Web Viewing" (see graphic below) which I never saw before. This is very disconcerting and upsets all notions of file identity based on size. I don't want it to change the size automatically. How do I turn that off?
(Windows XP Home SP3, Adobe Reader XI)

  • Acrobat 9.3.4 (or 9.3.3.177): Save As with Optimize for Fast Web View

    When I do a Save As with Optimize For Fast Web View checked, the saving stops and an Adobe Acrobat dialog displays:
         The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (111).
    If I uncheck Optimize For Fast Web View, the Save As seems to work.
    Is there a way to have Fast Web View work with Save As?
    Acrobat.exe is version 9.3.4 (or 9.3.3.177 in the properties). The Acrobat.DLL version is 9.3.4.218.

    Thanks.  I did submit a report at the site.  I hope somebody reads it as this is a big problem for us.
    Thanks again.

  • Optimize The PDF For Fast Web View

    Am wondering: is there any difference in quality when "Optimize The PDF For Fast Web View" is  UNtagged?
    I know the files may be bigger when this option is untagged, but that aside.
    If, in day to day use, there is hardly/or no visible quality difference what is the use of this option?
    Thanks

    Acrobat XI Pro/Windows

    Thanks a lot, I will leave that option tagged in future.
    The below is comparing print PDF source files to -again- PDF whilst leaving that option  un-tagged.
    Didn't 'test' it whilst having that option tagged though.

    You might wonder why PDF to PDF.
    I could not get the files OCR'ed by Acrobat (magazines). No way. Tried a couple of times.
    However, I discovered - when printing them to PDF -again-  then text recognition works.

  • Issue with multiple digital signatures disabling fast web view

    Hello, I'm using acrobat 9.1 pro and have some questions regarding an issue using multiple signatures on a pdf.
    Why am I asking the question below? My job involves preparing pdf's for submission to FDA. The FDA requires, among other things, that electronically submitted docs have fast web view enabled.
    I am currently exploring ways of using digital signatures to sign pdf reports and still make sure they are FDA spec compliant. My issue involves a document that would have multiple signature fields. What I do is create at least two signature fields in the doc and then save and optimize while enabling fast web view. When I sign the first box and save, the file retains the fast web view status. Yet, when I apply and signatures past the first one, the file is subsequently set to fast web view off without any obvious way of turning it back on. I am confused as to why it gets disabled only after the second, and not right after even the first one was signed. And, of course, I would like to know if it is possible to maintain fast web view and how to do it. I'll gladly accept "tinkering under the hood" of the file suggestions if they exist as well.
    Please let me know if anything is unclear or you need further information.
    Thanks for your time and help.

    Hi Vlad,
    Michael actual had the correct answer. The purpose of a "Linearized" file (i.e. a file that has been Optimized for Fast Web View) is to get the first page to display as soon as possible so you can start reading without waiting for the rest of the file to download. As an aside, the designated first page doesn't necessarily have to be page 0 (PDF's use a zero based counting system for pages), but usually it is. To quote the PDF specification, "The primary focus of Linearized PDF is optimized viewing of read-only PDF documents. It is intended that the Linearized PDF be generated once and read many times. Incremental update is still permitted, but the resulting PDF is no longer linearized and subsequently is treated as ordinary PDF."
    When you sign a PDF file the first time the Save process is a "full save", that is the entire document is rewritten so there are no more than two %%EOF (end-of-file) markers in it. The first EOF designates which page to show first and the second EOF designates the end of the rest of the file (so the browser knows when to stop downloading). However, when you add a second (or subsequent) signature the file is saved as an "incremental save" and all of the new data is tacked onto the the end of the original file. This is so you can do a rollback to the previous signed version and allows Acrobat/Reader to check the integrity of each signature independent of any other signatures. It's the incremental save that breaks the linearized optimization of the file.

  • Fast Web View breaking links/bookmarks in PDFs from Word 2007

    I'm running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 on WinXP, and I recently noticed an issue with PDFs that I'm creating from Word 2007. If I turn on the setting "Save As optimizes for Fast Web View," any links or bookmarks in the file break when I do a Save As. If I turn the setting back off, Save As doesn't break them.
    I had had problems creating the PDFs using the PDFMaker plug-in for Word, so I used the Save As PDF or XPS feature from Microsoft instead.
    PDFs created using FrameMaker are not giving me problems.
    I don't know whether this is related, but the Settings button on the Save As dialog box is no longer active. I'm sure I was able to click it before, but I can't now. And that goes for PDFs from Word or FrameMaker.
    Anyone have any clues?

    This is related to a bug in the direct PDF output from Word 2007. I was told that Microsoft has fixed this bug in the final SP2 release (so when the service pack becomes available, this problem will not be present).
    Until then, the workaround is indeed to turn off the "Save As optimizes for Fast Web View" preference in Acrobat (Edit > Preferences > Documents, under Save Settings).

  • Fast Web View

    I have enabled fast web view using "save as", but if i change something and just click "save", the "Fast Web View" change back to NO. Why does it change? Is there a way to stop that? Or i need to use "save as" every time once i change something?

  • Enable Fast Web View using ODC

    Hi Friends,
    Please guide me how to enable "Fast Web View" Property to PDF which generated using Oracle Document Capture.
    Fast Web View:
    Fast Web View restructures a PDF document for page-at-a-time downloading (byte-serving) from web servers. With Fast Web View, the web server sends only the requested page, rather than the entire PDF. This is especially important with large documents that can take a long time to download from a server.
    Verify that an existing PDF is enabled for Fast Web View:
    Do one of the following:
    ■Open the PDF in Acrobat, and choose File > Properties. Look in the lower right area of the Description panel of the dialog box for the Fast Web View setting (Yes or No).
    ■(Windows only) In Windows Explorer, right-click the PDF file icon and choose Properties. Click the PDF tab and look near the bottom of the panel for the Fast Web View setting (Yes or No).
    Thanks,
    Selva

    Hi Nikhil,
    From fast Web View do you mean that your PDF is taking time in opening? If this is the case, then generally it depends on the amount of data you are displaying on the form, if your form has large number of drop downs with huge data then it will take time in displaying the form.
    Other problem may be the version of the form, Adobe 8.0.1 takes more time in opening, SAP Note 1104060 can help you if you are on version 8.
    Hope this helps,
    Amit

  • "Fast Web View" not supported in Acrobat X plug-in for FireFox/Chrome

    The Acrobat X plug-in for displaying PDFs in FireFox/Chrome does NOT support fast web view.   This means that PDFs don't display until after the entire file has been download.
    For example, try viewing this document in either IE(Windows) or Safari(Mac):
    http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference.pdf
    Notice how it opens very quickly, and then you can scroll around and view all the content as the PDF content strreams in?  In Safari you can see the download progress like you used to be able to see in all versions of the acrobat plug-in.  Note also that in the IE version, although fast web view is working, you cannot see the download progress like you used to be able to... Thats an issue, but not nearly as bad as the real issue...
    Now try clicking the same link in either FireFox or Chrome (note that in Chrome you need to be sure that Chrome's PDF viewer is turned off and the acrobat plug-in is enabled).  Note that the PDF is not displayed until the entire file is downloaded.
    This feature is VITAL for viewing large documents online.  I'm astonished that this has not been reported by other users.
    Adobe -- PLEASE be sure that this gets fixed in the next update to Reader X!!  I was shocked to see that it was not fixed in 10.1.

    WHY would you want to disable this? Linearized "Fast Web View" enabled PDF are the right and proper type of document to be created.

  • Can i still use Fast Web View for PDF/A files?

    Can i still use Fast Web View for PDF/A files?
    In other words, just becasue I am using PDF/A, can I still select the page i need in a long document and see it before the entire file has loaded?

    macjack has a very valid point, so you might want to consider a second drive for files.
    To partition, you need to boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) on restart. Select Disk Utility.
    Step 1 - select the hard drive.
    Step 2 - select the Partition tab.
    Step 3 - select the current partition and then use the lower right corner to push up and resize the partition.
    Step 4 - click the plus sign to add a partition. Then select the new partition.
    Step 5 - Name the new partition and select the format. The one shown in the screen shot is generally recomended.
    Step 6 - Hit apply.
    This procedure can be reversed at a later date if you find your Time Machine backup needs more space.

  • How to enable byte serving(fast web view )  for pdf on tomcat 5.x server

    Hi,
    I am new the site and this is my first request.
    I have to download pfd, instead of waiting the user for complete download of the page, first I need to display first page, and then in the background I have to download the rest of the document. Which is byte serving. I try to implement byte serving (fast web view for pdf) for pdf files in Tomcat 5.x it is not working. The same functionality is working in other servers.
    I have not done any coding to use byte serving in the other servers, simply I enable byte serving for pdf using the adobe.
    Can any one help me …..

  • Unable to enable "Fast Web View" in an existing PDF/A file.

    I have a pre-existing PDF/A file that I'd like to optimize for web publishing (i.e. enable "Fast Web View").  I have done this kind of conversion in the past using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0 and X but whenever I attempt to do so for this particular file via Tools and/or by making the changes in Preferences and executing a "Save As" the Fast Web View is still set to "No".  We have attempted to make this change using Ghostscript but that too has proven unsuccessful.  The file is 2.6 GB and I have attached a screenshot of the properties of said PDF/A for reference.  Has anyone encountered this before and found a way to modify the file?  Thanks.

    Tricky one. It might not be possible, since modifying to PDF/A might turn off optimization, while optimizing might turn off PDF/A... I think people have largely lost interest in fast web view since broadband is mostly so, well, broad.

  • Problems with fast web view and really large PDF files.

    If "allow speculative downloads in background" is set then the Fast Web view becomes nonfunctional.  Reader is makeing the HTTP Byte range requests but will ask for almost the entire PDF file in one range (180 MB of the 182 MB file).
    If "allow speculative downloads in background" is not set then Fast Web view is working fine, Reader is making more HTTP Byte range requests but the larges ones are still small 20K or so.
    Is this behavior being experianced by anyone else?
    What are the disadvantages, if any, of having "allow speculative downloads in background" turned off?
    My environment:
    182 MB pdf file (Optimized) around 41,000 pages.  I have also seen this with 42 MB and 25 MB pdf files.
    IE 6
    Reader 9.2
    Apache webservers (On Solaris Apache 1.3.20 and Linux Apache 2.0)
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The signing tool use Capicom (Library from .NET) to generate attached digital signature. I also tried signing with .net class SignedCms but the result is the same. What I don't understand is why some PDFs are working and others are not.
    For example, I uploaded here a signed PDF which can be opened up succesfully: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/104591126/PDFs/Signed_Dummy1.pdf  (it is the same PDF but I didn't enable the fast web view)
    Can you suggest other signing method?
    Thank you.

  • PDF fast web view option don't work like the specification  Acrobat Reader suggest...

    I have an optimized/linear PDF file for support fast web viewing option.
    My issue is about the plugin comportment. In the Adobe specification, when the plugin receive a large optimized PDF file, he suppose to be began to read and show the PDF file after the first page received from the web server.
    In my case it's not worked properly. The plugin show me the PDF file after the download finish.
    When I check the Acrobat Reader 8.1 internet settings, all fast web view options are checked properly.
    If I look the PDF file properties the fast web view value is yes.
    I don't know what is wrong in my setup.
    Some help will be appreciate.
    Thank's.
