The “Fast View” function lets you view high-res images in the PDF file at a low resolution (provided the PDF already contains low-res images) or generate and embed such alternate low-res images.
With low-res images, the speed with which PDF files display on the screen can be quickened significantly.
|
You can enable/disable the display of low-res images by clicking the icon shown to the left or selecting "Plug-Ins > Prinect 2020 > Alternate Images...". |
