Pdf file size much larger than with a pdf printer

[EWetzel]

Hi,

the pdf file size (SalReportPrintToFileEx) with RTF content much larger than with a pdf Printer.
In my sample I used the pdf Printer "CIB pdf brewer"
I can not attach the pdf files because the file size Limit of 2 MB on this Forum.

The pdf file size with the cib pdf brewer is 14 KB and
the pdf file size with SalReportPrintToFileEx is 3.4 MB (250 times larger)

You can simply create the pdf files.

Hi Enrico:

I use "doPDF 7" and the files are almost the same.

Please see attached sample.

Hi,

When i try this sample with TD62SP4 the resulting PDF from SalPrintToFileEx is 199KB as opposed to the 44KB one in the zip. Im currently working on a Project with TD62SP4 that needs to create PDFs and noticed the Files are rather huge.
I dont know on which Version this Sample was originally written, but have the PDFs created from SalPrintToFileEx gotten bigger since then? Anything i can change to make them smaller?
