Yes I am. I run the program once with no compression, file size 34.3K. I run again with compression level 9, file size 34.3K. No difference.
If I use setFullCompression, file size is 13.7K. So I ask again. Should the setCompressionLevel for PdfCopy be giving me a smaller size file? And since it isn't, then how is setCompressionLevel supposed to be used with PdfCopy? Edward W.

Are you comparing an iText generated uncompressed copy with an iText generated compressed copy? I doubt, I think you're probably comparing some external generated PDF to a iText-generated compressed copy of it. Note that PdfCopy can produce bigger output stream than the input stream. But then, yes, in some cases you can wind up w/ a bigger file when compressing data. It all depends on it's randomness. -hwh BTW: Is there any reason you don't mention the version of Ghostscript you're using? Anyway, I think current Ghostscript should compile just fine on Solaris 10. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php
