Yes,
there is a huge difference between:
Image img = new Image("my_image.pdf");
for (int i = 0; i < 2000; i++) {
addImage(img); // your custom method that adds an image
document.newPage();
}
and
for (int i = 0; i < 2000; i++) {
Image img = new Image("my_image.pdf");
addImage(img); // your custom method that adds an image
document.newPage();
}
In the first sample, the image bytes are added only once.
In the second sample, they are added 2000 times.
On page 449-450 of the book you get an idea of the
amount of bytes you can save ;-)
