Print Preview re-draw times

[cellophane]

We are an architectural firm and print a lot of work to PDF for distribution to contractors and clients, and subsequently receive quite a few as well. The issue I am having is when i go to print a PDF that is created from AutoCAD it seems that the PDF is created with lines, layers & objects which I guess is fine. problem is when I try and print, the small print preview redraws every line in the sheet and it can take quite a while when we are trying to print a 36x48 fixture plan for a grocery store. is there a way to adjust this function so we can still get our preview but not have to sit and wait for the redraw (which eats up CPU time & memory)?

Thanks for post. Print Preview has been improved in our internal new version. Please provide us a copy of your file for testing. Thanks.

attached is a 8x11 sheet of a detail. there is a lot of text and linework on it, so it should be a good example without breaking your developers computer.
