Sorry. GDI basically represents the graphics API from Windows and EMF is
the file representation
Title: [OT] Windows spool file size
Does anyone know if the spool file size can be controlled, if at all? We use FOP to generate PDF reports and a 60KB PDF file generates a spool file 10 times that size on Windows. What does spool file size depend on?
Thanks,
Prabhat.
It can't really be controlled. PDF is a very compact format (it uses a
lot of compression). When you print it on Windows a lot of so-called GDI
(Graphics Device interface, I think) commands are generated which can be
serialized as EMF files (enhanced metafiles). The printer driver
converts GDI/EMF
