We are using the pdf creator to create pdf's programmatically, but the customer is complaing of the file size. The pdf's created are automatically attached to emails and forwarded. The pdf's contain no pics or graphics, are typically 2-3 pages, but are 400k to 700k in size and if a pic is included get over 800k.

Is there a setting to change the resolution or some other mechanism to change the file size?

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Hi,

Please download the latest build and then try to set PdfDocument.EmbedFont to false. There are only two things that can increase the PDF file size significantly: embedded font and images. EmbedFont is a property that has only been added very recently. So make sure you have the latest build first.

Even with embedded font data, 2 to 3 pages with no images runing from 400K to 700K does not appear to be normal at all. So if the file size is still too large event with the latest build, we will need a sample PDF file to see what's in there.

Thanks!
