What type of PDF is it? Does it have lots of bitmap information in it? Lots of vectors? Multiple pages?

[paul60]

very simple pdf file eg just the letters RES it does this with every pdf i try to open

[martin54]

Are they vector or bitmap based ? Have you tried importing them using the import vector or import bitmap options ??
I don't tend to use a lot of PDF files with vectric software myself so not something I will really have seen, I tend to use EPS as a file format as it always seems to work well for me & the other software I use has the option to export as EPS

the same pdf that is stored on the desktop opens immediately.

So where are stored the pdf that open slowly?

Can you post one of them?

I assumed he meant that the same PDF opened in another application opened immediately but re-reading it does sound like it's different storage areas. More information and ideally the file is definitely required.

That's also what I read the first time, and I'm still wondering what the actual issue is. More info definitively required.

On my desktop there is a file that i store all my pdf files these files are downloaded from my email when i double click on any one of these files
they open immediately.
the problem comes when i try to open them in vcarve
i open vcarve go to file. then open. locate the pdf on desktop click open vcarve sits there for about 15 min before the file is opened
this only happen with pdf files tried re installing vcarve same problem.
this problem started about month ago
thanks paul

Opening or importing your file into Aspire 8.5 under Windows 7 is immediate.

What are your versions of Vcarve and Windows?

Did you notice other slow downs in Vcarve? In other software?

How many free space do you have on your hard disk?

[paul60]

vcarve 8.5
window 10
free space on oc 382 GB
there is no slowing down on any programs on vcarve
no problem opening pdf on windows just on vcarve
i mostly work using dxf files no problem there
i open pdf in vcarve then convert it to dxf to work with

[Adrian]

Opens immediately for me without any issues in VCarve and Aspire version 8.5 and 9.

Try importing rather opening. In theory it shouldn't make any difference but I'd be interested to see if it does.

[paul60]

try importing same problem

Is your desktop folder with these pdf files synchronized with a distant server (cloud, NAS or something like that)?

[LittleGreyMan]

i open pdf in vcarve then convert it to dxf to work with

No relationship with your issue, but why do you perform this step? Do you export the dxf to another application?
