Another factor no one has touched on yet - is the density / size of graphics in the PDF. In an html page you can dynamically resize a picture: meaning, for example, the picture source is 8 x 10 and it can be displayed as a thumbnail. Which means the rendering engine must resize it on the fly. So, in this case, the optimal would be to resize the picture to thumbnail size first. I would assume this would apply to PDF rendering as well. -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Associate Member of the Piano Technicians Guild Reed Organ Society Member St. Louis, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler@charter.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 9+ years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
