[iText-questions] PDF File Differences between JDK 1.3 and JDK 1.4

[Jason Moors]

Hi,   I sent a previous post describing a difference of PDF file size when created using different versions of JDK.   I spent further time investigating and the format is quite different, in particular, the Font attribute is not provided in the 1.3.1 version. I’ve provide an example of the difference below. But it seems that the XObject stream is approx 10 times the size.   The image stream is using Java2D to drawing lines etc.   Can anyone explain why they are different??? I need to get to the bottom of this as my application needs to run under a portal server running 1.3.1.   Thanks   Jason   JDK 1.3.1   16 0 obj <</Matrix [1 0 0 1 0 0]/Resources<</ExtGState<</GS6 18 0 R/GS5 17 0 R>>/ProcSet [/PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC /ImageI]>>/Subtype/Form/Filter/FlateDecode/Length 46614/FormType 1/BBox[0 0 345.98 113.39]/Type/XObject>>stream   JDK 1.4.1   18 0 obj <</Matrix [1 0 0 1 0 0]/Filter/FlateDecode/Type/XObject/FormType 1/Length 4082/Resources<</ExtGState<</GS6 20 0 R/GS5 19 0 R>>/ProcSet [/PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC /ImageI]/Font<</F3 9 0 R>>>>/Subtype/Form/BBox[0 0 345.98 113.39]>>stream   The content of this email is confidential and for the addressee only. If you are not the addressee of this email (or responsible for the delivery of this message to such person) you may not copy, forward, disclose or otherwise use it or any part of it in any form whatsoever. If you have received this email in error please email the sender by replying to this message and delete this message thereafter.  Opinions, conclusions and other information in this message that do not relate to the official business of our Company shall be understood as neither given nor endorsed by it.
