PDF rendering is essentially creating a binary from a source code package. Why would you recompile every single time when the purpose of the format is to deliver an exactly consistent binary output? Arguing that the format is badly designed does not open a document any faster!

- sliverstorm 13y agoI would argue the super-high-quality image PDF meant for printing on a 1200dpi plotter is an exceptional case a netbook will never handle well, no matter the format. Usually when the PDF is silly big, someone just didn't do a good job preparing it.
- 7952 13y agoOptimising compression and caching zoom levels does make a big difference. But it is exactly what is missing in a significant number of PDF files in the wild. This is particularly common in engineering drawings/maps and they can be slow to open on any machine. The point of my original comment was that client side code sitting is isolation will always have certain limitations regardless of how it is implemented.
