Hi all,
I'm running into PDF file size and navigation issues. Wondering if anyone has tips on how to avoid or reduce this.
Main issue: Scrolling through or zooming in on an iPad is very slow, requiring the PDF to re-load every time the screen moves. Major productivity obstacle... I'm getting messages from other designers/eng/contractors saying they have the same issue with viewing these files.
Possible reasons:?
-Site model in background (however, source polys were simplified so it's not very heavy graphically)
-Presence of custom paving tiles and sand & skipping pen hatches
-Presence of custom hardscapes
There are no bitmaps in the background, and it's an average amount of linework for a residential property. Really stumped here. Any input appreciated!
Rasterizing the PDF helps with iPad navigation/zooming but balloons the file size.
Screenshot below shows a portion of the plan with custom hardscapes / tiles and stakes (2D graphic only, no site modifier).
