It's certainly not a typical PDF, but it's 1400 page physics textbook which seem to all be excessively large and unoptimized.
Originally it was completely uncroped, and OCRing it seems to have grown it even larger.
Not too familiar with details with PDFs but I suspect it's just a huge DPI render (maybe designed to go towards being printed) that could probably be reduced significantly if it was designed for normal consumption.
All things considered it's amazing it works at all, but old Edge handled it a lot smoother.
