Insert/extract pages causes performance issues

[Orysk]

Hello, I believe I am getting the same weird case here.
[Topic split from another by moderator. Original topic here: viewtopic.php?t=39848 ]

Whenever I cut and paste pages of one file into another pdf file with pdf-xchange, the file size increases dramatically and the document becomes slower to navigate.

It seems like it also happens when extracting pages to new files from such documents.

I'm having a hard time readily reproducing this.

Hi Orysk,

thanks for the report. When you say you are having trouble reproducing this, does that mean that the same document will sometimes navigate slowly and sometimes not?

The file size increase would be expected. Have you tried to "Save as Optimized" to clean up/reduce the size of your documents before copying content?

Similarly, the merged document that navigates slowly, is that improved by doing a "Save As Optimized"?

Sorry for the confusion, the same document will reliably have the same problem, what I haven't been able to consistently reproduce is creating a new document with the issues.

Saving as optimized does reduce the file size slightly but not to the size pages are originally.

For example I have a document where I inserted a single page with a file size of ~500KB, if I extract that page from the merged document it is ~4000KB, if I save as optimized it is ~3000KB (these are rough numbers going off memory), I can check some other documents for better examples.

Hello Orysk,

If it is possible please share with us one or two of the files you are having this issue with.

I'm asking you this because we are unable to reproduce the problem with any of our files.

Also please tell us what version is your PDF Editor?

You may see this information in the PDF Editor's Help -> About menu.

Regards.

I am on version 9.0.352.0

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can share some of these documents as they have proprietary information. And also unfortunately I seem to be unable to reproduce this on new documents. I'll see if I can reproduce the problem on a generic document and get back to you.

Hi Orysk,

Okay, thanks - we look forward to assisting you in resolving this issue when you are able to supply us with an appropriate sample document.

Kind regards,
