pdf files take too long to load on our website

[Timothy_J_Eaton@adobeforums.com]

We are using Adobe Acrobat to turn Photoshop pages into .pdf pages. But when a user clicks the link to open up the .pdf files, Adobe Reader opens quickly, yet the 11 pages take a very very long time to load.

Check out the site at <http://www.mainlymarketing.com/portfolio.html>. Click the portfolio image on the right.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

It's 42 MB. That's why it takes so long. You should warn you users how big it is, especially for those on a dial up connection.

If you use the Reduce File Size command, you can get it down to 2.5 MB. You could probably get it down more with the PDF Optimizer
