Hi,
I just update to yosemite from mavericks for my macbook air (2013 mid). I find that scrolling always freezes for some pdfs in the preview(app).
Those pdfs are some old (before 1990) academic papers. In osx mavericks, I am sure that scrolling in preview works fine.
Futhermore, noted color in preview(osx mavericks) is completely changed after updated.
null-OTHER, OS X Yosemite (10.10), preview.app scrolling freezes
Preview freezes and lags for me in Yosemite for many PDFs, especially those where I've added annotations.
Same with you. For some pdfs created by latex with annotations, I feel less freezing. But for some old pdfs with annotations, I just can't work.
I hate it.
Having the same issue. Can't seem to correlate it only to file size either.
Hi,
I have the same issue. My Preview App freezes and several times hangs with files with more than 1MB.
My Preview.app is freezing now and it seemsed to do it right after I loaded Free Macphun Software
"Focus" Don't try this APP till it is corrected. Now who knows whats happening my 5K is brand new do I have to send it back?
My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) was a major catastrophe after Yosemite, and Preview has been one of the biggest offenders.
I upgraded my memory (Yosemite was most definitely NOT made for machines running 4Gigs of RAM ) and installed a Solid State Drive (SSD) that handles memory swaps much more efficiently.
That solved most of my problems, including persistent Preview crashes when I put the app under stress. Which is kind of counter-intuitive, as the Activity Monitor only showed alarming stress during kernel panics. Still, if it works....
Preview still shows twitchiness with large, edited .pdf's, and there's no question that the engineering on the Yosemite-build is horrible. It stutters when I scroll at times, but not so badly; annotations are cumbersome (and don't play well with Adobe standards), but they don't get hung up thinking about it nearly so often.
I have a lot of muscle-memory that gets ready to do a hard shut down when I load a big file and see the Beachball. But files that used to crash the app no longer do.
Your mileage may vary, but memory upgrade worked (mostly) for me.
