Hey, I do have a question regarding a strange behavior during file uploads to a SharePoint (SharePoint 2013) document library. I don’t understand the problem at all.
I do have a document library, which will be filled with documents using different file formats. To be precise, Excel, Word and PDF files. Now, when uploading a file, everything runs as expected, however, with PDF files the transfer is absolutely different in terms of transfer duration. All files are not larger than one MB, however, a PDF file will take much more time to be transferred. I have deactivated all Workflows related without any impact. The transfer of a standard document (Word) will take a second, a comparable PDF file will take up to 7 seconds, which sounds still fast, but in the end my solution will transfer a lot of files with a script, so it will slow down the process a lot due to this behavior.
Does someone has any experience with such an issue, and even more important, a solution? Thanks for reading!
Cheers.
I suspect that this may be related to the native compression of the PDF files. If you take the pdf files and add to a zip file, do they compress substantially? The Word document probably compresses substantially more than the pdf.
Also, if you create a completely fresh, out of the box document library, does it do the same?
