Brian Liu updated PDFBOX-2690:
------------------------------
    Description: 
I am using PDFBox 1.8.8 to manipulate existing PDF files. After saving a 
document, the output file becomes several times larger than the original. This 
is undesirable.

*How to reproduce my problem:*

In the following code, PDFBox simply loads an existing PDF and then save it. 
Nothing else is done. Yet the file size still becomes several times larger.

{code}
import java.io.*;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.*;
import org.apache.pdfbox.exceptions.*;

class Test 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, 
COSVisitorException {

    PDDocument document = PDDocument.load("input2.pdf");
    document.save("output.pdf");
    document.close();       
    }
}   
{code}
Attached are two sample PDF files.  input2.pdf an original PDF, which before 
any processing by PDFBox.  input2-after-safe.pdf processed by the code above.  
After processing, file size increases from 416kB to 1.25MB.

*Possible reason:*

 Tilman Hausherr suggests that there is an enormous amount of "structure" 
information / object stream that is compressed in the input file, but not in 
the output file.
