We are attaching PO printout from Smartform converted to PDF , in a mail to the Vendor. There is nothing unusually large in this PO. Just normal Logo which is of small size, and existing fonts. But the PDF size is around 0.5 MB. USer expects a smaller size attachment. Is this possible?
I am converting Smartform output to Pdf using otf data.

You will get best size of PDF if you use "Adobe form" instead of "Smartform".
If it is not possible consider compress PDF to some archive (ZIP, RAR..).

We have already completed development and started using the output form. So we cannot change to Adobe form now. We cant send Zip files unfortunately. They client does not agree to that.

Please check if you're embedding fonts to PDF, I know there is such setting in SAP but I can't remember where. And if this setting is selected then PDF weight much more then without embedding.

I dont think we are embedding fonts and we are using standard fonts. but I ll check this out . I think we can check this in program RSTXPDF2 is it? Shall check and revert

Hello Liji,
Run the report RSTXPDF3 with default selection of List Settings check box.
then check on parameter COMPR_PAGECONT as below, switch it ON and check. Also read OSS note 843480 for more details.

Thanks Thanga,
COMPR_PAGECONT is already On and FLATE_COMP_OFF which was On was set to Off which reduced the pdf size from 5 mb to 0.5 mb. But even this size seems to be huge for a PO print out.

We found real benefit, a huge reduction of the dimension, changing the parameter USE_CASCADING (the pdf reduce from 560 kb to 61 kb).
