I wished they would improve the PDF viewer.
- RussianCow 13y agoHow would you like it improved? I rather like it as it is--I've completely stopped using Adobe Reader, in fact--but I'm curious to know what you think is missing.
- omaranto 13y agoSpeed mainly: it's unbearable on my machines. But maybe I'm a niche market: cheapskates with 5 year old laptops.
- com2kid 13y agoI have a brand new beefy machine with lots of cores a big GPU and plenty of RAM, it is also dog slow on PDF documents of any appreciable length. Then again I tend to load multi-hundred page PDFs.
- jimmaswell 13y agoIt never renders anything as well as external viewers for me. Often missing things, more aliasing, etc
- gjm11 13y agoI find that it 1. is really slow, especially for long documents or ones containing large images (so, e.g., for lengthy scanned documents it's frequently just unusable); 2. renders less nicely, scanned text again being particularly awful; 3. on at least one machine I have, prints documents very badly (text comes out all fuzzy, as if the anti-aliasing is messed up somehow); 4. it has no facing-pages view. I keep using it because (a) it's the default and I'm lazy and (b) in principle I like the idea of supporting a completely free PDF viewer. But compared even with Adobe Reader (still more something like Sumatra or Foxit) the experience is grossly inferior far too often.
