Lion Preview high CPU behavior with PDFs
Hello everybody,
I really love the new Mac OS X Lion OS!
In adjusting and getting used to the new features and interface, I seem to have found some odd behavior with PDF files - namely one very large PDF that I have that is about 500M in size.
Whenever I open it in preview, my Macbook Pro's CPUs spike to 100% and stay that way for over an hour until I finally quit Preview. I can't even browse the PDF for the CPU spikeage. Luckily I use PDFpen and can open the PDF in that applicaiton, but I do love using Preview to read PDF files with and the full screen view.
I am thinking that the CPU spikeage is the PDF being indexed and in some way, the PDF is causing spotlight to spike all of my CPUs.
If I am patient, will it eventually finish? I really dislike keeping my Macbook Pro in the heavy CPU spikeage state. Maybe if I go into spotlight preferences and tell it not to index that file it will stop? Or maybe it has something to do with resume and version-saving?
Anyhow, if anyone can shed some light, that would be great!
Thanks for any responses.
Mark
