Test PDF at: http://www.sloplanning.org/gis/mapimagepdf/RuralCDMaps/Rural%20South%20County%20CD.pdf

The PDF downloads VERY slowly (more than 2 minutes on a fast connection) in Firefox, but only seconds in Chrome or IE. When the PDF is rendered, most of the graphic elements within the PDF are missing; comparing the PDF image between FF and Chrome is stark. A good test is to wait through the long download in FF, then press the 'download' button and compare the resulting image displays. The 'downloaded' version has the graphics that are missing from the in-browser display.

At the moment we're stuck telling our clientele to not use FF. :(

In my testing, this is occurring in v27.0.1 of FF on Windows 7; I'm not certain of all the configurations for our clientele where this is also occurring.

Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,

I have filed a bug for this issue.

I can currently running our beta version (29) on Windows 7 and I can reproduce your issue.

I can't think of a reason why this is happening so I filed a bug but if somebody comes along and knows why, then we can figure it out then.

Thanks!
