Section Reports - Export to PDF - Decrease File Size

    Hi,

    We are looking for a way to decrease file sizes of the PDFs that are generated by exporting Section Reports in Active Reports for .NET v11.2. I cannot give you any examples of the RPX/PDFs at the moment but I may provide it later.

    1. Can you suggest what options/steps during report generation/merging or report export to PDF should we check/adjust?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    You can set the “NeverEmbedFont” property of PDFExport to “*” so that no font is embedded in the PDF file. Also, Memory related issue fixed in the version after 11.2. You can also check the PDF size difference between 11.2 and 15.

    Thanks,

    Mohit

    //Program crash due to down code

    reportDocument.Render(jsonRenderingExtension, memoryProvider, jsonSettings);

    var primaryStream = memoryProvider.GetPrimaryStream();

    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(primaryStream.OpenStream());

    string readerText = reader.ReadToEnd();

    reader.Close();

    return Json(new { code = 0, msg = “success!”, list = readerText });

    I think the previous two comments are added to this thread by a mistake. Can you move/delete them so our conversation about PDF size is not messed up?

    Is there a way to “compress” images or somehow limit the size/quality of the images that are included in the final PDF if some BIG images are merged into Picture control in SectionReports?

    Currently if BIG images are merged into RDF file then EXACTLY the same BIG images are transferred to the PDF generated from this RDF which then results in a big PDF size.

    Yes, where do I want to feed back?Who should I turn to to solve this problem?

    Where did you escape my feedback? How to follow up this problem?

    Hello,

    You can check the size after changing the image related property in the PDF Export.

    Please refer to the attached image.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Do you mean “ImageQuality” property from the attached dialog or something else? You did not attach any image in your previous response.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Yes, you can try after changing the image quality and resolution properties.

    Thanks,

    Mohit
