This isn't directed at any one person in particular, but sometimes it's like pulling teeth (American expression, means difficult) to get a simple yes/no question answered. I realize that a lot of people complain or ask questions that can be easily looked up using google or in the book (which I bought for just those occasions). But everyone jumped on the first sentence of my original post and didn't seem to read down to the actual question that I had. I try to include as much relevant information as I think useful, but I wonder if I should just ask the question first and provide information as it's asked for to prevent this type of response in the future.

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
