If you aren't bothered about image quality, then (albeit not knowing what format the image is currently) can you not use something like high JPEG compression on the graphics? This will dramatically reduce the image size and therefore the PDF size.
Thanks. -Mike On 02/05/11 16:12, Roberto Cahanap wrote: Hello fop users! Is there a way in FOP to reduce the size of the PDF? We are embedding the PDF with a high resolution graphics which creates a huge PDF document. One of the departments here at work would prefer a smaller PDF document, and they don’t care about the quality of the graphics. Is there a way we can do this? Note, we are only using the batch file of FOP to generate the PDF.
