I assume it's just a flag to set somewhere within the PDF encoding?  I'll try manually creating the same PDF in Acrobat, where I think I can apply that setting, and I'll see if it does anything to address the behavior.

I suspect "Fast Web View" is a linearization of the PDF that allows the first 
page to be viewed before the whole document has arrived. That may or may not fix 
the problem, but I don't think we support it in ReportLab.

Of course it may be possible some other utilities can convert the PDF to a 
linearized form, certainly some Adobe tools can do so.
