I join some files (appout and printout) to help debug the slow test page. This is with pdftocairo. I have confirmed that a direct pdftocairo conversion produces a file about the same size as the original, but 10 times smaller than pdftops. So again, pdftocairo is better.
Comparing to the first sample pdf (google maps), we can see here that even if pdftocairo itself is efficient, further processing inflates this file (printout 21 times bigger). This may explain why this test page prints slowly, even with pdftocairo. Now, how can we reduce/eliminate this further processing? I mean, when the file is in PS format, it is ready to ship... ** Attachment added: "appout" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/1476705/+attachment/4432199/+files/appout -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1476705 Title: postscript printer hideously slow in some cases (pdftops) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/1476705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
