Q5: Despite the new .pdf drawings that came out in the amendment that just posted, I am still encountering the same issues as stated in my previous e-mail; the file still produces and error message that it tries to “flatten” the images beginning around page 11, slows to a crawl at approximately 41%, and will not go any further.
