I am a paid user of quick PDF library. I have found that the size of the generated PDF is significantly larger when I use "quick PDF library" to store PDF. For example, I use the following simple program to test. I open a 900K PDF with 10 pages, delete nine pages, and then save it. I find the generated PDF file(that has only one page) is larger than the original file, Is this a bug?


Temp = myDoc.LoadFromFile(mypdf.pdf, 0)
myDoc.DeletePages 2, 9
myDoc.SaveToFile "myoutpdf.pdf"

Hi Wang,

there are too many possible reasons for this behavior.
Font file embedded or not... Where are the images... first compressed then with save not compressed... first optimized for web after save not... and so on...
Please try the enhanced search (top, right here with the spy glass) with relevant keywords.
You should read the online reference and the developer guide as well.

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Thank you for your reply. I tried to use all the following functions, but the generated file is still very large. If I do the same with Adobe Acrobat, the generated files are only a fraction of those generated with the quick PDF library

myDoc.CompressContent
myDoc.ReduceSize(0)
myDoc.ReplaceFonts(0)
myDoc.CompressFonts(0)
myDoc.CompressImages(0)

The functions you've tried are working on the fonts and images you're embedding just in time - Not the ones which are already inside.
You shouldn't compare QuickPDF with Acrobat or do you compare Mercedes Benz with Volkswagen as well? ;-)
Have a look to the installation of QuickPDF with less mb and have a look on an Acrobat installation...
