Lag between pages in reader

Just some natterings here but...
You are describing a graphics intensive file (that happens to be a PDF).
Getting the graphics to the screen is somewhat more a function of the computer's RAM and how the computer is set up to handle graphics than of the application.
A dedicated graphics card or integrated graphics & if the former, how much RAM on the card?
But then that's for the file on the local machine.
If viewed via an intranet or the internet is the server configured to byte serve & is the PDF saved for fast web view?With that said I suspect any graphic intensive file with a 10Mb footprint would be somewhat of a "load" on most of the computers in general use by consumers today. Perhaps that may be why dedicated "gamer machines" are rather more robust.

Be well...

Hi Daka630,

I probably made the pdf sound more graphics intensive than it really is. Most of the graphics are line graphs...and they are vector files (as are all the other design elements...basically lines and flat fills with the ocassional gradient for small icons like the 'play' button for multimedia files). Its a university text book so it has a lot of equations(Mathtype) and is predominantly text. It also has links to multimedia files(through acrobat buttons). Each page also has a 7 button navigation page at the bottom. The nav buttons are consistent(the same) throughout the pages.

. The Machine I am running on can display 3d renderings(i have a 3d animation bg...so a gamer machine is in the same league) without a problem. I've also see other pdfs much more heavy on images(rasterized) than the one I am working on. I cannot shake off the feeling that something I am not optimizing in pdf or maybe even the way I'm bringing in files from indesign is the culprit.
OR
Is it because I am using a lot of buttons links? I dont know.

p.s: the pdf is saved for 'fast web view'.

Thanks for the help...it may very well be that it IS the graphics, as you say. Maybe I'll delete all the graphics and see if the text based pages have the same problem.

An update incase it can help others. The problem turned out to be due to the fact that the bg was a vector based graphic. Since this was a subtle graphic..almost like a watermark it was changed to a png and the problem was resolved. Tnx
