Hoss Man commented on SOLR-10298: --------------------------------- I don't think so -- that's just a java wrapper API that uses JNI (JNA?) to call out the the C API for GhostScript -- so it still assumes/requires it can load the "gs" shared library. if a "user" has that shared lib installed, then they probably have the "gs" command line installed -- and vice versa. Exec'ing "gs" from ant is probably easier to understand / maintain. > Reduce size of new Ref Guide PDF > -------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-10298 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10298 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Sub-task > Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public) > Components: documentation > Reporter: Cassandra Targett > > The new Ref Guide PDF is ~31Mb in size, which is more than 2x the current PDF > produced by Confluence (which is 14Mb). > The asciidoctor-pdf project has a script to optimize the PDF, mostly by > scaling down images. When I run this tool on the new PDF, the size is reduced > to ~18Mb. (More info on this script: > https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf#optional-scripts). > Some of the current image files are very large in size, so I believe that by > scaling the images down, we can make the size smaller without adding a step > in the build to run the optimize script programmatically (it also has a > dependency on GhostScript, so it would be nice to not add another dependency > if it can be avoided). > The new PDF is also about 300 pages longer, but this issue is primarily > concerned with file size. However, reducing the number of pages will also > make it smaller. A few things that could be tried to reduce the # of pages: > * Reduce font sizes > * Increase page margins > * Review options for when a forced page-break is used and modify if possible -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
