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/" rel="nofollow - 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
