Based on your limited explanation, I guess that the problem you are experiencing is that many external objects (XObjects in PDF lingo) are redundant in your PDF. If your PDF documents weren't forms, you'd have the choise between PdfCopy and PdfSmartCopy: PdfCopy is fast and mild on memory use, but the filesize is high. PdfSmartCopy is slower and needs more memory, but redundant XObjects are avoided. I think that when you do SaveAs in Acrobat, the redundant XObjects are removed. Something similar could probably be written in iText (since PdfSmartCopy is able to identify redundant XObjects), but I don't think this is present right now. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php
