Measure PDF rendering time

Question

Is there a way to measure performance parameters like time until document is loaded or render complete?Trying to understand how long does it take to load some of my "heavy" documents

lrosenth · Accepted Answer

I would like to perform a measured performance test on Acrobat Reader.

Test should include KPIs like:

PDF loading time (time takes to open file)
PDF Rendering time (time takes to show all geometry on "heavy" PDF files)
Frame rate (if possible)

I have some complicated files that may take almost a minute to open, I would like to measure this time automatically (batch).

So I would know which file take more time to open without using a stopwatch

To do this in Adobe Reader, you will need to write a custom plugin to Reader (in C/C++). You will need to obtain a license from Adobe for that plugin (no cost, but you need the license). Details on how to write a plugin, samples, the license, etc. are all in the Acrobat SDK.

It is also recommended to do all development with Acrobat (where you don’t need a license).
