Sorry all, looks like it is not a regression. After compiling all the versions of poppler between 0.18 and 0.23, I finally noticed that the original machine with 0.22.3 had a pack of licensed TTF fonts installed. The machine with 0.18.4 doesn't have it, hence the difference.
All in all, the font SimSun (15 Mb) is embedded into final PostScript file ~80 times. Is it possible to embed just a single copy of it, or just a subset of required characters? -passfonts and -noemb options didn't help. 2013/6/1 William Bader <[email protected]> > I thought that rasterization was all or nothing and that rasterized pages > didn't need any fonts. > Are you starting with a multi-page PDF where pdftops converts some pages > into postscript code and other pages into bitmapped images? > > I think that poppler 0.19.0 had some big changes to font handling > including a merge with xpdf 3.03. > Does adding -passfonts or any of the -noemb* options make any difference? > > William > > > From: [email protected] > > To: [email protected] > > CC: [email protected]; [email protected] > > > Subject: Re: [poppler] Fwd: Too many fonts embedded in a document? > > Date: Sat, 1 Jun 2013 16:41:34 -0400 > > > > > >>>>> "WB" == William Bader <[email protected]> writes: > > > > WB> If you change -r 300 to -r 72, does the output get a lot smaller? > > > > -r300 vs (the default of) -r72 explains why I got 1.05 GB rather than > 1.7 GB > > from pdftops -level3. > > > > -JimC > > -- > > James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 >
