Does anyone have a huge PDF file that consists of many pages & embedded media (like pictures and crap?). Maybe over a hundred megs?

Best I have is a 540 page laser printer service manual. Tons of images, but it's only 16 megs or so. I can upload it somewhere if you would like.

You can create your own PDFs with OpenOffice or a PDF printer driver.

I have some large PDFs of scanned books I downloaded. 117mb for a Pokemon strategy guide? Yeah whoever scanned these in went overboard with the resolution. You want?

Lots of roleplaying books come in at absurd sizes, too.

Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

My company has a contract that compares various antivirus programs and one of the requests is to find out which ones get in your way the least -- a lot of them scan as files are accessed and thus slow down everyday applications. Anyway, my job in this little case is to write a tool to automate the performance testing, but I need to be able to programmatically determine when a pdf is done being "loaded" -- but all the PDFs I can find load almost instantly so I can't spot any difference in the program state between "loading" and "loaded" -- having a huge file or five will hopefully help.

Wow, that is so... unexciting. I was hoping you were playing a prank on someone.

Yeah, it's pretty lame, sorry about that.
