Why are the pages images and not real text and vector objects? If you want
small files, DON'T use raster images!

Subject: [iText-questions] design pattern
hello all.
looking for advice...
my credit union has 60K members. I need to produce a single PDF for each
member that uses low res images (96 DPI). This is know as the "E-Statement".
For about half of the members, I also need to produce a "print statement"
version which uses 300 DPI images. The print statement needs to be just one
single PDF (with thousands of pages). I would like this print file to be as
small as possible.
it is possible to
1) create a statement with a button as an image place holder
2) save that statement as a singular PDF after adding low res images to the
buttons
3) concat that statement to an open PDF stream after adding high res images to
the buttons (so the pdf specific stuff isn't repeated with each statement)
I've read this: http://1t3xt.info/examples/browse/?page=example&id=347 which
shows how to set button images and I've read about using PdfSmartCopy to concat
PDFs, but from what I read, the PDF innards will still be repeated in my
resulting file, eating up file size (please correct me if this is not the case)
I've also thought about creating two different processes...once to create e
versions and one to create the print file, but that seems inefficient as I'd be
creating the (hopefully) same statement twice for basically half of my accounts
and could potentially result in the statement looking slightly different
between e and print versions.
The end goal is for a member to get his print statement in the mail, and print
the estatement from online banking and (basically) not be able to tell which is
which.
how would you all handle this with iText / Java?
(FYI: this is a server side java process...no web container)
Thanks for any opinions / help.
Jason
