Hi everybody,

since several years I use fop to produce PDFs. Now the request was to produce PDF/A documents. So I embedded all fonts necessary for the productions of the PDF.

After some test and some errors I was able to produce PDF/A complient documents (at least FOP didn't throw any exceptions any more). But the problem is, that the size of the files increased 10 times (from 25,3 kB to 248 kB).

The fonts where embedded as True Type fonts in the fop.xml
<fonts>
<font embed-url="XXFont.ttf" kerning="yes" metrics-url="XXFont.xml">
<font-triplet name="XX" style="normal" weight="normal" />
</font>
         ...
</fonts>

I tried to convert the file with Acrobat. There the file size has grown but not that much. Does anyone have any suggestion how to reduce the file size? Do I make any errors when I include the fonts?

The mass of file we have to put into the archive will be a problem when the file will be 1/4 MB of size...

Thanks

Tobi

P.S. I'm using FOP 1.0, JDK 1.6.0_13 and Windows Vista....
