PDF color fills were the problem in my case ... there might be multiple colors overlapping on a pdf to create a pattern fill which can cause slowdowns ... avoid such pdf uses<BR /> PDF uses vectors and it takes time to calculate all the fills specially if they overlay and you have multiple of them.<BR /> Hope this helps Tue, 11 Mar 2008 00:04:03 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/working-with-pdf-s/m-p/46697#M23565 Anonymous 2008-03-11T00:04:03Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/working-with-pdf-s/m-p/46698#M23566 I used to have really bad problems with that if my PDF's had any of the percentage fills (25%, 50%, 75%) Thu, 13 Mar 2008 20:55:06 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/working-with-pdf-s/m-p/46698#M23566 Jere 2008-03-13T20:55:06Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/working-with-pdf-s/m-p/46699#M23567 Open in GIMP, save as JPG.
