I'm using Acrobat 6 to audit the space used in the various pieces of both my pdf form template and my stampled pdf document. I'm trying to figure out ways of reducing my stamped file size. After analyzing the audit information (listed below), I'm having a hard time figuring out where the space for "X Object Forms" came from in the stampled pdf document. Does anyone know of a way to remove the "X Object Forms", or are they required? I'm using IText version 1.3, JDK 14.2, and the PdfStamper object in IText.
The pdf form has the following audit:
Description Bytes
Content Streams 8238
Fonts 8879
Acro Forms 11543
Document Overhead 4978
X Object Forms 0
Pattern Information 160
Shading Information 606
Extended Graphic States 82
Piece Information 971
Cross Reference Table 2520
Unknown 1505

The stamped pdf has the following audit:
Description Bytes
Content Streams 8608
Fonts 8881
Acro Forms 1259 (not sure why so much space here either. I'm setting form flattening to true)
Document Overhead 4483
X Object Forms 3906 (***)
Pattern Information 158
Shading Information 606
Extended Graphic States 81
Piece Information 969
