When opening ConTeXt generated pdf's in Windows Vista, a message window pops up saying something as (translated to english): - title: preparation of document contents" - message: "please wait while the contents of your document is being prepared" + progress bar "page x of total pages" This doesn't show up in Windows XP or Linux. The embedded fonts are ttf fonts like arial/tahoma/verdana/times new roman, ... Any idea to what that's related and how to disable it/have it run in the background (if possible) because it slows access to reading the pdf. -- Alan

Wouldn't know what's so special about them: picture(s), text, some interactive elements, Windows ttf fonts. As it didn't occur when openening the pdf's in Windows XP and Linux, it has something to do with Vista. Alan

It was an Adobe Reader issue. This helped eliminating the nagging window... Cancel preparing untagged document for reading http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=2478 Alan On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 10:34 PM, Alan Stone wrote:
