hello guru

Do you find that the PDFs generated with the Export.PDF.Method=0 (Distill) method are smaller than those generated with the Export.PDF.Method = 2 (NativePDF!) and
Export.PDF.NativePDF.ImageFormat = 1 (JPG) method ?

Is Distill better than NativePDF ?

Thanks for the reply

Gimmy

Hi Gimmy;

  FWIW: I was just working on a customer PDF issue this AM where I generated a few PDF's using various mechanisms for testing with the customer's DWO. Surprisingly enough, the NativePDF way produced the smallest PDF. So I suspect that you might need to evaluate the PostScript vs NativePDF approach for each PDF. Depending on the type, size, complexity, security, compliance standard, etc of information to be included in your PDF(s) - the sizes can vary quite a bit.

My Tests ...

HTH

Regards ... Chris
