Larry, I had the same issue in 7.5 where the PDF files generated were huge, and then I made one change in the command line and the size of the PDF file went to about one tenth of the original size. This is an example of the command file I use:
PRINT WOInvoice WHERE WinvNo = .vWinvNo + OPTION PDF + |FILENAME .vFileName + |SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG ON + |BACKGROUND_FILE NONE + |BACKGROUND_TYPE CENTER + |BACKGROUND_COLOR WHITE + |INCLUDE_LINES ON + |INCLUDE_SHAPES ON + |INCLUDE_RICHTEXT ON + |RICHTEXT_ENCODING_TYPE PLAINTEXT + |INCLUDE_IMAGES ON + |IMAGE_FORMAT JPG + |PIXELFORMAT 32 + |JPEG_QUALITY 100 + |IMAGE_DPI -1 + |INCLUDE_HYPERLINKS ON + |GENERATE_TOC ON + |TITLE Invoice + |SUBJECT Detail Invoicet + |AUTHOR H&S Gravel Pit + |KEYWORDS Invoice Gravel Pit + |USE_COMPRESSION ON + |COMPRESSION_METHOD MAXCOMPRESS + |FONT_ENCODING WIN_ANSI + |EMBED_USED_FONTS OFF + |ENCRYPT_FILE ON + |ENCRYPTION_LEVEL 128BIT + |ENABLE_PRINTING ON + |ENABLE_COPYING ON + |ENABLE_MODIFYING OFF + |HIDE_TOOLBAR OFF + |HIDE_MENUBAR OFF + |HIDE_WINDOW_UI OFF + |FIT_WINDOW OFF + |CENTER_WINDOW OFF + |PAGE_LAYOUT SINGLE_PAGE + |PAGE_MODE NONE + |NON_FULL_SCREEN_PAGE_MODE NONE + |PRESENTATION_MODE NONE + |DURATION 0 + |OPEN OFF If I remember correctly, the change was in the line: |EMBED_USED_FONTS OFF + Where before I had set to on. As I recall. When you have this option set to "ON" the fonts are downloaded with the document and hence the large size. When the option is set to "OFF" if the fonts in the document are not standard fonts, then it defaults to standard fonts. If you stick with standard fonts and don't use non-standard form, you should have no problems. If you have the need to use non-standard fonts, then you need to turn ON this option for the report to display correctly. Hopefully, this is what you were looking for???

I had some experience in 7.6 in which reports containing RTF controls that were printed to PDF files produced very large files. I believe that issue was addressed in 9.0. I'm trying one of these reports in 9.0 and, in fact, the PDF version has gone down from over a megabyte to about 11 kilobytes. The only problem is, when modifying the report, I can edit the text in the RTF control and change the font size. But none of the styling buttons (bold, italics, underscore) seem to change my selected text. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong? -- Larry --- RBASE-L =======================3D=======================3 D= TO POST A MESSAGE TO ALL MEMBERS: Send a plain text email to [email protected] (Don't use any of these words as your Subject: INTRO, SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, SEARCH, REMOVE, SUSPEND, RESUME, DIGEST, RESEND, HELP) =======================3D=======================3 D= TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [email protected] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: INTRO =======================3D=======================3 D= TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Send a plain text email to [email protected] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: UNSUBSCRIBE =======================3D=======================3 D= TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: Send a plain text email to [email protected] In the message SUBJECT, put just one word: SEARCH-n (where n is the number of days).
