Hi,

does the library offer the option to save a pdf file as a binary file to reduce the file size?

Thanks,

Dezhi

Hi Dezhi,

what you can do is to save/write the complete pdf-content as binary data in a db-field for example.

You can read the content from this db-field later to show the pdf on the fly:

Cheers and welcome here,

This is not so easy as @Dezhi is asking for reduce size method.

SaveToVariant - save data as BinaryVariant in SQL Terminology this si BLOB

Each Byte is stored as 2 characters which are Hexadecimal notation for this Byte.
So each BLOB in database uses twice as much data.

Dezhi is telling less about the sense of his question ...

It should be clear that a binary saved pdf-content can't be called by any reader.
