RB10.09 Delphi 6.02 - PDF image sizes.

rbuser

Hi

How are Images treated within the PDF export?

I have a report that repeats the header and footer for each page so if I
have 10 pages and the header and footer are about 72Kb each does the PDF
export add 720K to the file size (assuming no compression) or does it store
1 of each and reuse it somehow?

I am getting some large file sizes for a specific need where I need to
minimise the size as much as possible.

Also is there anyway to set the PDF to only produce Mono images when the
actual report contains colour.

Hi Andrew,

From your previous post I noticed you were setting the OptimizeImageExport
property to False. Setting this to True should keep track of identical
images exported and only add them once to the PDF file.

Done that. Does not make much difference. I will experiment with the
setting.

Any other suggestions?

In my testing, placing an image into the header band of a 6 page report only
saved the image once to the PDF file when exported. Where are the images
you are using originating (i.e. database or file)? If you create a simple
example of a multiple page report containing an image in the header or
footer band, are you able to recreate the issue.
