The reason you're files are shrinking so much has to do with the type of compression applied to the images.
In your original file, everything (images, content, etc) are compressed with FlateDecode (zip). In the modified files, they use DCTDecode (jpeg). iText supports writing out JPEG images **that were read in as a JPEG** (image.type() == Image.JPEG). It supports CCITTFaxDecode for images that were built with raw image data (image.isImgRaw() == true && image.getBpc() > 0xFF). It looks like everything else is written out as FlateDecode... which, as you may have noticed, is sub-optimal. :/ So how are you adding the images? --Mark Storer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
