A possible reason you do not see “quick web browsing” may be because you are not checking it with the correct PDF files. For fast web browsing, PDF files must be “linearized” (sometimes also called “web-optimized”). Most PDF files are not linearized by default.
Ghostscript and Acrobat Professional (and some other programs) can convert existing PDF files to linearized ones.
Update: To check the PDF for your properties, run pdfinfo your.pdf
or pdfinfo your.pdf | grep Optimized:
pdfinfo your.pdf | grep Optimized:
He should say Optimized: yes
.
The pdfinfo
utility is available on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X.
