Question

Importing PDF with large images turns the import dialog window unusable

When importing a PDF with large images the dialog box hangs for several seconds between each UI interaction and becomes unusable. It seems like the preview feature is blocking the UI. This also happens with PDF created with Adobe Illustrator.

I've seen this behaviour for several years now. Currently using the latest version on an M3 Max MacBook Pro.

Can you provide one of the affected files? 

Why are you converting the pdfs anyway?

You can check this file: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/dxlti79uoa2qs6gkj50ng/Alphalink-FabricDisplay-Modulate-180x240cm.pdf?rlkey=pca3i8h3etvjzuru7qu8hdlv5&dl=0

Try changing the crop and size a few times. Most of the times the lag is there from the start.

Any complex vector file or a file with large images creates this behaviour. Regarding the "why": because I need to import a PDF file into Photoshop and change the settings. It's something PS does.

"But you posted a »Discussion«, not a »Bug Report«."

 

You are right and that's on me. But coming from a bug report form I was not expecting to do anything other than filing a bug report.

Well, the Forum may not be perfectly intuitive in all its functionality …

 

I see you posted a »perfectly labelled« Bug Report in the meantime. 

If you feel strongly about the issue you could search the forum for older threads on the issue to direct people to your report.

Also your friend who reproduced the behaviour. 

 

The number of votes does not guarantee that an issue will be adressed, but it can serve as kind of an indicator of affected users.
