I have a word document that a customer gave me which I converted to PDF and it has a bunch of .BMP files in it. With Adobe 5.0 Reader the pictures take a long time to load, every time they appear on the screen. In 6.0 however, the same document, the pictures load very fast. I have already converted these files to .gif's and reimported them and that seems to have sped them up for Adobe 5.0, however I am interested to know why BMPs loaded so much faster in 6.0. Anyone know? Thanks!
 
I converted all the pics to GIFs and it works fine now.... still don't know the diff between 5.0 and 6.0.
 
I have come across this same problem but it afffects version 6 and 7 of adobe writer pro & stand but not ver 5. If a word doc has a watermark background and images it is very slow to create the pdf and when scrolling through the created pdf it takes a long time for th text etc from loading up.
