Hi, I need to get small PDF documents with pictures. Therefore I try to understand the way how FOP uses pictures, and what determines the resulting size of the PDF document.. As an example, I generated a PDF document with FOP. It contains 20 pictures and a few lines of text. The sum of the sizes of the jpeg source pictures amounts to 1,54 MB. The generated PDF file size is 4,6 MB. In the case of gif the sum of the sizes of the gif source pictures is 2,22 MB. The generated PDF file size is 3,67 MB.
What kind of format is FOP using internal? What is the best way to achieve smaller documents with the same content? What makes the PDF so much bigger than the sum of the sizes of raw text and pictures? cu philipp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
