alternative display method: showing text first?

Post by andreasm1982 »

I have lots of pdf document with images. Most of the time, text is the most important thing.

Actual behaviour of rendering pages in pdf xchange viewer is bad: It renders files from top to bottom.

It would be better for me (perhaps for other people too?) if it would first display the text, then displaying images.

Is that possible?

To render PDF file correctly Viewer must render all items in order which is described in page content, and this cannot be changed without making most PDF files looks incorrect.

I think, that's nonsense....
There are other pdf readers on the market which first show text and then show images.. And they also work and show everything correctly ;-)
