memory usuage is too much
this is almost the only problem of this software compared to foxit
foxit is faster and less memory used..
especially when opening files in large size
e.g. I opened a 140M pdf file using both the two softwares,
foxit uses only 40M memory, and when scrolling the pages, its memory usuage is almost the save value.
however, pdf-x-change viewer needs 150M memory to open this file, and when scrolling the pages, the memory usuage continues to increase until more than 600M, and then it crashed...

VM
I registered just to say that the memory usage of PDF-XChange is appalling, rivaling even firefox after a day of Youtube browsing (like 440M). It seems to get larger with the amount of time it has been open. I love the program but if this continues, I may have to actually switch back (I just had a very hard crash, because VM maxed out).
I guess I will look into the mentioned settings, but don't quite have much hope they'll work.
Edit: hooray! Since it does work, might I suggest that under Automatic controls, VM usage be limited to something reasonable, as it doesn't always have the same rigidity as physical memory?

Hi,
We will take a look at memory usage overall and if anything can be done - it will be.
However - the overwhelming feedback from most users with most document types is that PDF-XChange is faster and uses less memory than either Foxit or Acrobat - but there will always be exceptions and some documents may open stretch resources - as we are made aware of this - we will endeavour to improve performance and resource use.
Both the afore mentioned Readers/Viewers have been around considerably longer than our PDF-XChange Viewer and undoubtedly they have had time to fine tune and correct issues found in this and other areas - having said that considering our relative status as 'new kids on the block' - I do think we have every right to be very satisfied with what has been achieved so far, - particularly as we have tried (and largely succeeded I hope) in providing a free, fully featured Viewer that competes favourably in almost every area with Foxit and Acrobat that users have told us is important and added functionality that neither offer in their free products.
Thats not to say we are content with what we have - we will continue to improve and add functionality as quickly as time allows.

Build 1.27 is now available and some additional work has been done in the area of memory management which may help.
Thanks
