I suspect the reason you're seeing the page rendered all-at-once instead of progressively is because when a page is imported, it's wrapped in an XObject Form.
I'm guessing that Acrobat draws things as they appear in the page's content stream. When it runs into an XObject form, it renders the whole thing off-screen and then displays it in one fell swoop. PS: The content stream isn't terribly efficient. There are quite a few redundant color operations: 0.000 0.000 0.000 1.000 k (26 bytes with a newline) This could be replace with: 0 0 0 1 k (10 bytes) or even 0 g (4 bytes) Sheesh. And they do it Over and Over Again. At least it'll compress well.</wry grin> PPS: You're losing the form fields from the original document. Use PdfCopyFields instead of PdfWriter if you wish to maintain them. PPPS: My theory on the XObject wrapping doesn't explain why other documents DON'T display the same way.
