The print vendor requires that we fully embed all fonts -- the barcode font is not big and we are embedding 9 fonts in total -- all through iText
OK, so normally each font stream should be identical.
Now the files that we are concatenating together are pretty close 1GB in total size -- and when we concatenate them together using PDFSmartCopy the resulting file is around 13Mb -- so we are seeing a dramatic decrease in size of the resultant file (as expected). However, and yes I am not a PDF expert here, the way the fonts streams are being referenced are causing the software by the print vendor to believe they are unique references and not shared
Which version of iText are you using? Seems like PdfSmartCopy doesn't see that the font objects are identical.We fixed this a couple of releases ago, but unfortunately, we broke PdfSmartCopy in iText 5.4.1 (an attempt to optimize caused problems with specific types of PDF that weren't in our test suite). This wil be fixed in the next release.
