Description Stephan Wienczny 2011-05-09 02:08:34 UTC 
Version:           0.12.2 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

If you open a PDF with many graphic elements the responsiveness from okular is unusable. Zooming and panning are unusable slow.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get the PDF from http://vrr.de/imperia/md/content/stadtlinienplaene/dortmund.pdf
2. Open the PDF using okular.
3. Navigate on PDF.

Actual Results:  
Very slow rendering

Expected Results:  
Smooth rendering ;-)

I don't see anything wrong with it. What zoom level? 

Also, what is your hardware (RAM, CPU, graphics card) and software (distribution, X, graphics drivers)? The problem may lie somewhere completely outside Okular.

I'm using Ubuntu natty 64. Athlon II X2 215, 4GB Ram and nvidia 9500GT graphics with proprietary driver.
When writing the steps above I already had a zoomlevel set in a previous attempt. It was configured to 300%. Evince and other linux pdf-readers are not working any better, but the Adobe Acrobat Reader for Windows does.

We use poppler to render pdf files, so if the rendering is slow it is not something Okular can fix. Please open a report in poppler bugzilla at https://bugs.freedesktop.org
