Color images dramatically increase the size of an image file and therefore, the time it takes to download. While customers love the timely updates available on Internet services in general, slow performance in comparison to other delivery methods is still a nagging reality. Annual reports are especially time-consuming to download because image files tend to be larger than other formats. The benefit to users is that they can begin viewing the document almost immediately. PDF does not enable any viewing until download is complete.
Images are a different document and file type than the text found in our databases.
Add to that the fact that most annual reports are 30 pages or more, and you ve got a significant downloading differential. Our service cuts download time dramatically. This is why our QuikView feature is such an advantage. We recommend using Netscape 3.0 or Internet Explorer 3.0 and higher on a Windows 95 or better operating system.
