This is a very interesting observation that I was previously unaware of (or forgot). It seems that many people that use the Microsoft Print to PDF feature share the same view as you. The following page has an example of a PDF file that is saved as 411 Kb using PDFCreator and 3,148 KB using MS Print to PDF: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware-winpc/print-to-pdf-files-too-large/52000742-6092-428e-836a-9329d043468a It is also talked about there: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/forum/edge_other-edge_win10/how-to-reduce-file-size-when-print-to-pdf/6dd3505d-9b2f-44c3-9902-af684dcdd5ac https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance-winpc/why-are-files-printed-with-print-to-pdf-so-huge/6c140441-00c0-4302-b903-3527f2f725b2 https://superuser.com/questions/1151957/how-to-reduce-file-size-produced-by-microsoft-print-to-pdf From looking over the posts online, it seems that Microsoft may not offer any form of compression on their PDF file, while PDFCreator and Adobe do. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
