The software becomes stuck when using it to view multiple pdf files in a macos environment.

Does anyone have a similar experience or solution?
  • Is it just me
  • Describe "stuck". Zotero unresponsive? For how many seconds?
    How many PDF open files?
    Are the PDF files OCRed or images of text and illustrations?
    What version is your Mac OS?
    What version is your Zotero? [I presume you are viewing pdf files within Zotero.]
    What model is your Mac and how much memory is installed?

    I have an older Mac Mini with 16 Mb of RAM and an SSD. I don't have a significant slowdown when adding notes to 3 open PDFs. There is a moments pause when switching between documents but not anything really noticeable.
  • thank you very much. Maybe my statement is wrong.
    I mean, even when I open one pdf document and slide the page, it is not very smooth.
    PDF files are just text.
    The macOS version is 13.0 (22A380).
    My memory is 16G.
  • Disable any third-party plugins you're running.

    If you're still having trouble after that, what exactly do you mean by "not very smooth? Can you make a screen recording, upload it somewhere, and provide a link here?
