Just for the Archives I have found a solution to this file size issue but I think it is application specific but this use case may fit someone else The pages that we are concatenating are identical in layout, font etc only the content changes so I instead of using .text.pdf.PdfCopy we tried iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfSmartCopy this results in size saving that are in fact better than Adobe Acrobat Optimized the test file that was once 341K is now 131K and x Object Forms is now only 52K compared to the optimizer at 78K
