(Archived) BUG: Typing speed gets very slow in notes with large PDFs

[oxon 0]

Hello users,

When I attache a bit heavy PDF files in a note, the typing speed gets very slow. I guess this is due to the CPU cost to preview the PDF images inline the note, and it may be due to the OS X API. But I think the rendering engine should not redraw the preview pictures which should be kept in memory, during I am typing keys.

I attached an example PDF which makes the typing speed very slow. Please put the file in a note and then type some text.

I would like to know if there is a workaround for this problem (bug ? feature?). Of course, I would appreciate it if the developer team could solve the issue.

I am using the Evernote 1.10.1 (93489) and OS X 10.6.4.

I've reproduced this behavior and filed a bug. It looks like this PDF is fairly complicated, and I imagine there is something that is redrawing the whole thing after every note change.

Thanks

Hello Dave,

Thanks a lot.

I suppose you already have an idea on the issue. But I tried the same using TextEdit.app with RTF mode. The typing speed is not affected by the PDF (see the attached screen shot). Just for your information.

Ok, thanks

I'm having this problem too (Evernote 2.2.0 for the Mac). Any resolution on the horizon?

Thanks!

I have the same problem. EN 2.2.3 on Mac OS 10.6.8.

The thing is it happens even if the PDF is not complicated at all, say a two page document.

I still have this problem with Evernote 3.0.6 (221382) + OS X 10.7.3. This is just a reminder.
