PDF files with included vector-based layers, e.g. plans or maps of large area, are also quite difficult to render/open.

Just today collegue was looking at some air traffic permit map within PDF that was like 12MB or something around that. Complained about Adobe Reader changing something so he cannot pan/zoom no more.

I suggested to try the HN beloved Sumatra PDF. Ugh, it couldn't cope with it normally. Chrome did it better coped better.
