I created a PDF that has two images, created from .tiff files and the resulting PDF is roughly 50K. I then converted the .tiff files to .png and recreated the same PDF, which is now 70K. Yet, the file size of the image itself decreased significantly when converting to PNG.
Image1.png = 41.6K Image1.tif = 113.9K Image2.png = 36.5K Image2.tif = 139.5K Yet the PDF created using the PNG is 20K larger?!?! How did that happen? Jason Image first = Image.getInstance(imageDir + "/First96.png"); first.scalePercent(72f / 96 * 100, 72f / 96 * 100); Image first = Image.getInstance(imageDir + "/First96.tif"); first.scalePercent(72f / 96 * 100, 72f / 96 * 100); ***This is a transmission from Purdue Employees Federal Credit Union (PEFCU) and is intended solely for its authorized recipient(s), and may contain information that is confidential and or legally privileged.
