Hi,
I can't agree that.
Just to show you the difference between huge single PDF and broken down
single PDF-s, have a look pls at the following table:
embedded subset Huge PDF(kB) Pages Single PDF (averaged in
kB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
yes 130 61
27
yes 2147 1184
29
no 633 253
6
no 14202 7577
4
The single PDF is a lot of bigger, a factor of 5-6 of multiplication.
Producing ca. 4 million pages per year and archiving this (this is only
the beginning), the diference would be more then 100GB more space, data
transfer and so on.
Regards,
Zoltan

Thanks again.
Do you mean with subset fonts embedding the ttf-s or using the metrik
files (afm) together with the postscript (pfb)?
We are using also fonts given only as ttf.
It's a bit shadowy for me, how the final version looks like.
If you embed Type1 fonts (afm or pfm + pfb), iText will embed
the complete font. (But most Type1 fonts aren't that big.)
If you embed True Type or Open Type fonts with True Type oulines
(ttf files), iText will automatically subset the font.
Now if you create the large document with the fonts embedded,
chances are the separate files won't be that large, because you're
basically using an alphabet of 26 letters (times 2 for caps) and
some interpunction.
If you have a capital Z in one page, the description of this glyph
will also be in the subsetted font of documents that don't contain
the capital Z, but that's not a technical problem. The file will be
a little bit bigger because of the unused Z, but is that a problem?
