Problem: Scrolling though a FrameMaker document takes a long time in FrameMaker 7.x and 8.x (Windows). When you try to scrolling through a FrameMaker document, pages take a long time to display the images and it takes time to scroll from one page to the next. This happens mainly with EPS files that are located on a server. To address this, do one of the following:
1. Save As PDF.
Just after you have opened the FrameMaker document, save the document as PDF.
- Choose File > Save As PDF.
- Choose a local machine destination and enter a file name.
- Select any of the PDF Job Options.
- Click Set.
2. Turn off the display of images.
You can turn off the display of images by pressing ESC V V.
Note: This redraw issue was addressed in the FrameMaker 9 version.
If you do a "SaveAs PDF" the EPS preview images get cached into memory (but not locally) during this process. This improves performance. If you choose to hide the images, no images need to be drawn and thus the scrolling works fine.
