With the newest release of Trial Director version 2023.8.12, you can proactively minimize delays[1] that can happen when large JPG or PDF files are opened in Trial Director’s  presentation mode. You can do this through a new, optional, process called batch imaging.  

In a recent case, a paralegal used batch imaging to eliminate lag time when she opened a file in presentation mode. She was preparing for trial and one of the exhibits was a 13-page, 10,559 KB, PDF file. The file was made up of high-resolution photographs in the JPG 2000 format. (These kinds of photos are usually seen in radiological, MRI or CAT imaging). She noticed that when she opened the file in presentation mode, it would take several seconds to launch at all and even longer for a new page to appear when navigating from one page to another. Once she batch imaged the file using the newest version of Trial Director, the file launched instantaneously when it was opened in presentation mode and there was no lag time when moving from page to page.
