| Post subject: | Adding simple text increasing size of PDF dramatically |
I have an application that uses a GIS framework to export a PDF document (which is basically a map). I then need to stamp this PDF with some custom information (just two lines of simple text) for which I use PDFSharp and create a new PDF document. The utility works great. The only problem is that the size of the resultant document (created by PDFSharp) is so much larger. For eg: one PDF file that was orginally 184KB became 712KB when created with PDF Sharp. Now the PDF Exporter of the GIS framework has a DPI setting. Is there something similar with PDFSharp? here is the code i used to generated the PDF. pdfDocument = PdfReader.Open(inputFile) For Each page As PdfPage In pdfDocument.Pages Dim xgfx As XGraphics = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page) xgfx.DrawString("As of Date : " + effectiveDate, dateFont, XBrushes.Black, effDateLocation) page.Close() Next pdfDocument.Save(outputFile) pdfDocument.Close() |

Are you using a DEBUG build of PDFsharp? Have you tried a RELEASE build? |

Hi Thomas, Thanks for your reply. I was able to fix the problem. After I got a reference to the PDFDocument object, I set two of its properties: PDFDocument.CompressContentStreams = True PDFDocument.NoCompression = False and that seemed to do the job. Now the size of the new PDF is only marginally larger than the original PDF (which is expected). |
