opening a large pdf files on web

Question

I have a 27MB pdf file which is hosted in web. When I try to open it, it takes times to open it. So Is there any way where I can view this large pdf file a bit fast. I guess

Answer 1

Two possible workaround would be:

If the PDF doesn't usually change you can set an cache expiry for the resource (set in the response), so that when clients opens the pdf/view the resource is cached in their browser, will reduce load time on their second visit (depending on how long it expires of course)

Another option, if it is possible, try to load the pdf file asynchronously. That is load the other contents of your web page first, then your pdf will be loaded after.

Or you can do a combination of both.
