I have looking for ways to speed up PDF generation. I wanted to let everyone know my findings.

My test was done in PB 2017 Build 1666. The DataWindow is a basic grid with enough rows to fill two and a half pages. I ran the test ten times for each method and threw out the high and low values.

Amyuni - 0.198 seconds - 17,944 bytes

GhostScript - 0.575 seconds - 18,464 bytes

NativePDF - 0.611 seconds - 20,782 bytes

The NativePDF option is slightly slower and creates files that are slightly larger. The Amyuni solution takes one-third the time as Ghostscript.

The Appeon folks might want to look at ways to make their solution faster once any the quality issues have been solved.

Hi.

 

I have the same issues here, and hopefully Appeon will fix this i the R2 release.

I have tested with a huge datawindow "just because". :)

 

200 pages:

GhostScript: 7 secs

CutePDF: 10 secs

Appeon native: 20 secs

 

I real life, this large sized datawindow is never seen, so this is just for testing.

But it illustrates the problem.

 

Regards,

Bjarne
