Hello, The problem is that ContourPlot, DensityPlot etc. compose their plot of lots of tiny polygons. PDF is a vector format and preserves them all. The PDF file becomes large and loads and scrolls slowly. There is a FixPolygons package that merges polygons of the same colour that results in drastically reduced PDF size: https://github.com/wspr/mmapkg This works well with ContourPlot. Unfortunately not so well (sometimes) with DensityPlot as its polygons are filled with gradients, not one colour. Best, Kristjan Kannike On Thu, 8 Nov 2012, Nasser M.
