Large spool size

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   When printing a PDF with the Debenu Quick Pdf library the resulting spoolsize  is much greater than printing the same PDF with Adobe or other viewers.

Almost empty test PDF: 
  http://checkout.lemonde.fr/glm_onestepcheckout/onestep/downloadPdf/

Simplified delphi code looks like this:
  lib := TDebenuPDFLibrary.Create;
  try
    lib.LoadFromFile('test.pdf', '');
    lib.PrintDocumentToPrinterObject(Printer, 1, lib.PageCount, lib.PrintOptions(0, 0, 'TestSpool'));
  finally
    lib.Free;
  end;

When printing this test file the resulting spoolsize from debenu is 4,75 KB and printed from Adobe 879 Bytes.

Anyone an idea what i can do?

	Hi CuraSoft, from technical view QuickPDF realize the printout with render functionality. Adobe products are doing the print out while interpreting the pdf-code. It's like it is - you can do nothing. Please keep in mind that - for example - the adobe pdf reader comes along with a 100 and more mb installation and on the other hand you have the slim line QuickPDF - there SHOULD be differences ;-) Cheers and welcome here, Ingo
