Inserted jpg's load slow

[Guest]

I save a pdf as a jpg then inserted it into a slide. When I then run the
slide presentation and it gets to that slide the images do not load right
away. They will finally popin after a delay. There is no anumation on the
slide. If I use the same pdf and copy the page from inside of Acrobat 6 with
the snapshot tool and paste into the slide the images will load fine when
running presentation. The presentation are 20 slides at this point. The
pasted images slide file is 3.8MB and the inserted jpg file is 2.5MB. Why is
this happening with the inserted jpg file?

It's almost certainly WAY higher resolution than it needs to be.

If the snapshot tool gives you the results you need, I don't see any reason to
stop using it. While we generally advise STRONGLY against using copy/paste for
images, this is one situation where it seems perfectly harmless (since it
doesn't create any links or embedded OLE objects).

If you need to use the exported images instead for some reason, I'd export to
PNG rather than JPG, then run the PNGs through an image editing program to
downsample them to say 1024x768 and convert them to JPG (or just leave them as
PNG if the results are better).
