Hello All, We currently have an internal application that makes use of itext. It takes text files, and converts them to pdf's dynamically with a pdf overlay. Viewing the document is quick and easy. However, when we pring, it's like the pdf document gets bloated and printing has taken up to 5 minutes on documents that are less than 1 meg. (Side note here... If you watch your printer, the size of the document grows to about 19 meg) Thus the long printing time. Has anyone else experienced this? What might be the cause? Any thought's would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian
I have similar results with my application. It can print from Java or export to PDF or XLS formats. The same 42 page output comes out as 130 KB PDF and 590 KB XLS. Printing the XLS file using Excel results in a 960 KB spool file, PDF from Acrobat 6 Standard: 8.6 MB spool file, and from the program using Java 2D: 13 MB spool file. I don't know if Excel is super efficient or if Acrobat is that bad. I've searched so many times for a reason for this, especially for the Java 2D output, but have never found anything that helped.
