PDF slowness?

Wed 15 Sep 2021, 03:52

Anyone else have issue with the released PDFs taking a long time to render? I will get a lot blank pages as I wait page for content to load....paging through the pdf is worse I get blank page after blank page until I stop and let it catch up. It only seems to the Twilight 2000 pdfs. I can load up "Things from the flood" and page right through it without waiting or blank pages.

Yes. I think it's just because they are very image-heavy. I get different performance in different PDF readers.

It would be nice to have a "printer-friendly" version of the pdf without the background images.

I have the same issue. I like to use my iPad with PDFs for casual reading because it’s easier to keep all my gaming material in one place. However, the Twilight: 2000 PDFs load so slowly that they are essentially unusable on my iPad (which is current generation). It would be VERY helpful to have an option for either printer-friendly PDFs, or maybe just ones with the resolution dialled down to make the graphics load faster. I love the artwork and the overall graphic design of the game, but it’s just too bad that I can’t enjoy them on my iPad. Ease of use really is a factor for me.

same here, the .pdfs are nearly impossible to read on my new OPPO A54 phone. I have to use my ASUS TUF Gaming PC to get anything done, when I am using the digital versions.

I used this site to compress my PDF's and they're loading quite fast on both my PC and iPad:
