Hi All
I have been using the itext lib in a app for a year or so typically to merge
db content in to pdf form field documents
created with adobe acrobat.
Recently we have been merging to some rather large data and the size of the
pdf document has now become an issue
Today I looked at some simple pdf document & created some metrics
PDF flatten document after form field merge 341K
PdfStamper.FreeTextFlattening = True
PdfStamper.FormFlattening = True
PDF document after using the AdobeAcrobat Tool-Optimized-Optimize the Pdf
for fast web view
179K
base on comparison between AdobeAcrobat -Tools-Optimize-Audit Space Usage
before /after
the objects "X Objects forms" show almost a 300% reduction 231K-78K
A similar sized reduction was observed with other itext generated pdf that
were run through the
itext pdfstamper & acrobat optimization process
Does anyone have experience with what setting can be applied to pdfstamper
to create a similar file size reductions ?
Its would appear that the x object refs that the forms fields are flattened
into is the issue here can anyone else confirm this is a know issue??
Is this a bug or feature request that should be submitted to a the itext bug
tracker ??
