Question

Cloud Web Access - Viewing large PDF Files

asked on February 22, 2019

Hi, if you upload pdf files 20 to 50 Mb with 500 to 1000 pages and you want to view them with the lf viewer, they will take long time to show. 
You must 'generate pages' for that document so the next time you view it the load speed will be faster. 
Is that the right behaviour for that type of files...¿?
Thanks for your support.

Hi Robinson,

PDFs are a single document and so in order to view it, the client applications need to download the entire document. When you generate individual TIFF pages (a Laserfiche imaged document), the client applications can grab specifically the pages you are looking at. Basically, if you have an 1000 page document and you're looking at page 10, the PDF must download all 1000 pages, while the TIFF Laserfiche document can just grab the pages that appear on screen and those next to it.
