Troubleshooting

Slow PDF Rendering

Browser rendering can slow down on very large sheets, scanned PDFs, dense vector drawings, or pages with many visible markups.

Large drawings need stable browser resources and focused workspace layouts.

Improve rendering

  1. 1

    Close unused tabs

    Free browser memory before working on large drawing sets.

  2. 2

    Use focused layouts

    Hide panels you do not need while navigating complex pages.

  3. 3

    Zoom intentionally

    Avoid rapid zoom and pan changes while a large page is still loading.

  4. 4

    Split large PDFs where practical

    If a file contains many unrelated sheets, smaller PDFs can be easier to handle.

When to contact support

Send the browser, operating system, drawing size, page count, and whether the PDF is scanned or vector-based if rendering remains slow.
