As site document controller I have to mark up & print large volumes of documents. Sizes variating but in general exploding heavily when printed.
Searched within Acrobat forums and seems quite common and probably unavoidable.
Tried with/without printing "as image" but did not really make much difference. File increase and time needed for printing about same.
However I think internet speed and or internal memory of the printing device are important too:
internet speed - also internal network connections - is a real issue
Printing for instance a file original size 15 MB I've seen exploding > 300 MB but worst part is I can see the memory indicator on the printer (2.5 GB installed) increase dead slow.
Takes minutes to load next page - having often > 50 page documents printing them - multiple copies - really takes hours
So obviously my colleagues don't appreciate this - local printer however not a option yet.
Assuming the problem might as well be not Acrobat but elsewhere can anyone help me ? I am in contact with supplier of printing device already to find out whether a larger internal memory - when possible - would improve situation.
Next issue will be network & internet speed ?? Status Oct 15: no impovements made/found yet ..
Any help - suggestions very welcome !
