For some bizzare reason I have a real problem with that PDF…
It is 10.2MB. I have tried acrobat v8 (full one), also the very latest free reader version, also an old v5.
The old v5 suffers least, but they all suffer.
The background page gets rendered OK but the route over the top gets drawn extremely slowly.
I am using winXP.
There is something suspicious in the size of the PDF; 10MB is far too big for what is in it.
Quite slow to render on a Mac as well.
Firefox built-in PDF viewer does not display it beyond the first page. Acrobat X displays pages 1, 4-5 and 7-16 fine, reports a content error on page 6 and displays it partially, reports a ‘file I/O error’ on page 3 (I guess it’s a bad pointer within the file) and seems to hang on page 2.
Works like a charm on the Mac.
That works for me too. Not fast but OK.
The last page may or may not have rendered correctly:
The last page may or may not have rendered correctly
I think it did. It shows how the individual strips play together. Quite clever I have to admit.
I would have drawn the underlying map under the whole lot, not a grayscale. But if that is intentional, fine.
Quite ok, though indeed slow to load but that is only to be expected for such a huge file. Debian, Chromium browser, Evince document viewer.
I suspect the background map was rendered in an inefficient format.
