I found a way to reduce the size of the PDF by not using PDF-1A. Thank
you for looking at this.

While not using PDF-1A may reduce the size because fonts etc. are not
embedded in the PDF we lose the control over the appearance of the PDF
on the user side.

The problem with PDF/A-1A is that it does not allow transparencies and converts them to a graphic. For the Getting Started Guide, this results in a 3 page ToC graphic, as well as changes to many of the graphics used. If we are going to loose control anyway, I would rather do it and gain smaller file size right now.

However, this brings up the question is it time to explore other means of creating the PDF than what we have today? Have we ever looked at PDFBox?

Keith




Reducing the quality of the graphics might work, but in the end I think
we still need to increase the file size of the allowed uploads...

The documentation team is starting to publish the 4.1 getting
started guide and have run into a problem. The 2MB upload limit is
far to small for the ODT and the PDF file for the complete Guide.

The ODT file is 7.1 MB, and the Writer one will most likely be
bigger.The smallest I have been able to get the converted PDF is 31MB.

I know that we have some ODT files already on the mwike that are
11MB. What would be the best way to get the limit raised so that the
ODT can be uploaded?

Keith
