why page "refreshes" on every highligt/annotation?

Asked by Laureano

every time you add a highlight or a text annotation, the page blinks as if it was reloading itself.
that stresses eyes.
So i wonder if this could be fixed.

Hello Laureano,

this is a limitation of the underlying libraries for rendering PDF documents, i.e. they render the whole page including the annotations. We did discuss allowing applications to render the contents and annotation separately to compose the results and hence only refresh the annotations instead of the whole pages, but nothing is implemented so far.

Best regards,
Adam
