PDF output size with variable images on template

Hi colleagues!

We are facing a file size issue when generating PDF output from a template that uses variable images.

One real case example:

  • 2500 records
  • generating 2 PDF pages per record
  • 1 variable image per record (JPEG)
  • each variable image size is 35kB to 60kB

Output PDF file is huge: 1.2GB!
When we take the variable image out of template, output is reduced to 25MB.

Thanks for any help on how to reduce the output PDF file size.

Hi @Renato,

Have you already checked if you can reduce the PDF file size by making use of the Optimize Images option (Connect Designer > File > Print Presets > Output Creation Settings… window > PDF Options)?

More information about the Optimize Images options can be found on the following web page:
