large file size for PDF

[Chris Markiewicz]

Hello.  I am generating PDFs using FOP for a client – and he is starting to complain about file size.  It’s a fairly simple PDF – two pages, mostly text, a handful of small images, and a few fonts.  Doc size is around 600k.  (Handmade is about 1/10th that size.)  Anything I can do about this?  I searched the archives but didn’t find anything too useful.  I’m looking into iText, but it seems that this might just be an issue with dynamically generated PDFs in general?  I’ve also researched commercial products to shrink the PDFs – any experience with those?   Thanks Chris
