Hello,

Can someone please enlighten me why my generated PDF file size is different from my local PC versus server? Basically, we have developed a program to add-in barcodes on the raw pdf document which is roughly around 1000-1500 pages.

The raw pdf file is about 16MB and after running the program on my pc, the output file is around 80MB. But whenever I run the program on our server, the output file becomes 350MB.

I am thinking maybe (?) it has to do with system resources which is being embedded on to the document itself (fonts, etc). But on this case, we are only using 2 fonts for barcoding.

Thanks for your help!

RMNL

Hi RMNL,

i'll expect it depends on how to create and implement the Barcode (as an Image?) into the pdf.

The library uses gdi+ ... it's on your machine but is it on the server, too?

Cheers and welcome here,

Ingo
