when opening pdf documents ( 50+ pages ) with annotations in them, okular hangs while loading. It do load the page after waiting for 2-3 minutes. Then whenever I move to next page or jump to any other page okular hangs for 2-3 minutes before loading the page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Opening pdf file with many pages and lots of annotations. 2. Jumping between pages. 3. Actual Results: Okular hangs for 2-3 minutes. Expected Results: Loaded the book/page without hanging.
The bug happens with large file with many annotations in it. I can not share the particular pdf documents since they are larger than the allowable limit of attachment.
Without the file, this is impossible to fix. Please provide us the file.
Due to limitations of file size in attachment I have uploaded a pdf file which causes problem to a web file sharing site. Here is the link to the file. http://www.crocko.com/55FF13A315214419AD432CDFCB82431D/Hadoop_the_definitive_guide.pdf
I don't see any slowdown. Are you positive the problem is your local annotations? Have you tried let's say coping the file so you get not annotations in the new copy? It's still slow?
I copied the file. The copy has no annotations and still okular hangs.
Works smoothly here. Which poppler version are you using?
Installed Okular using Ubuntu repositories. Ubuntu version is 13.10 ( saucy ) . poppler package version is 0.24.1-0ubuntu1.
How much RAM do you have? Is it possible you're running out of RAM? check with free -h while changing the page. Also does top show CPU at 100% while changing the page?
My system specifications are : processor : Intel® Core™ i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz × 4 memory : 3.8 GiB graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series OS type : 64 bit my output of free-h : total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 3.8G 2.2G 1.5G 0B 128M 963M -/+ buffers/cache: 1.2G 2.6G Swap: 7.3G 0B 7.3G My cpu usage doesn't show 100% while loading page. Instead it remains below 10%.
Weird. Is there any chance you can update to a newer poppler like 0.24.5 (the one i'm using)?
Looks like will have to wait for the update for latest version of poppler from ubuntu
upgraded Ubuntu to 14.04 beta and updated okular to latest version of package available (4:4.12.95-0ubuntu1). No more hanging problem with okular with latest build.
