It sounds like you have images that you are using?
 
When you save-as in Acrobat, it will compress those images into JPEG's.
 
If this is your problem, yes, you can do that with iText.  Please post some more
 
information on what you are doing, are adding images? or are the original PDF's
 
created with poor compression?

Subject: [iText-questions] How to simulate "Save As" functionality in iText

I have 15 single page Acrobat forms with sizes varying from 400Kb to 1.5Mb. The forms are automatically filled using data from a database and are then concatenated using iText. The resulting file is 15MB in size. I’m looking to reduce the size of this file.

 

  1. If I open the final file in Acrobat Standard and use “Save As”, the resultant file is the desired size (1.5MB total). Is there any way to replicate this using iText?
  2. In the event that the same is not possible, I’m looking for other ways to compress this file. I do not need the resultant PDF to be a fill-able form. Suggestions?

 

Thank you for your help.
