Hi,
I sometimes have really long documents (>4000 p) for specs., or for
Wow. How big is that?
other purely technical stuff. I sometimes look for a given model, or for
a given word. The fact is that acroread reads ~8 pg/s, and, thus, if I
do not know that my keyword is simply at the last page of the document,
it takes 500s ~8 minutes and a half. How can I speed it up? Why is it so
sluggish? Do not tell me that it is limited by R/W access on the HDD...
Have you tried other PDF readers? Searched for Linux-based PDF
indexers?
Do you hear the disk spin up when you start the search?
In Edit->Preferences->Search there is a knob or two you can diddle with.
Lastly, acroread is free-as-in-beer. Adobe wants you to buy Acrobat
to get the Good Stuff.
