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.
Hi Richard, no, it’s not. I am sorry for misunderstanding, however, due to this and due to some additional tests there is even more which seems to be not easy to understand.
So hopefully someone has an answer… or hint… or even two Cents to find a solution together…
After some more tests I have to precise the Events. Whenever an Office Document will be transferred, everything seems to work smooth. Zip, and PDF files are slower in any case, however, now the tricky point identified is, if a file Needs to be transferred to a Document Set, compared to a standard folder, PDF and ZIP now take ages, but not the Office files.
