File Size Grows by a big margin after adding watermark

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

We are adding a Text watermark on a PDF File using the BindLogo method. After the watermark is added, the file size grows exponentially.

Original File: ~90 KB. After Watermarking: ~230 KB

Original File: ~3 MB . After Watermarking: ~44 MB

We have tried the option to Optimize the file after adding the watermark but that does not makes a difference.

Is it possible to restrict this exponential growth ?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Sanjay is on leave so I will be responding instead.

Below is the code sample we are using to append watermark


mem = new MemoryStream();
PdfFileStamp fileStamp = new PdfFileStamp(stream, mem);

Aspose.Pdf.Facades.Stamp stamp = new Aspose.Pdf.Facades.Stamp();
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Id))
{
FormattedText text = new FormattedText(Id.ToUpper(), System.Drawing.Color.Gray, FontStyle.Helvetica, EncodingType.Winansi, true, 17);
stamp.BindLogo(text);
stamp.Opacity = 0.3F;

stamp.SetOrigin(widthLeft, height);
stamp.Rotation = 90.0F;
stamp.IsBackground = true;
fileStamp.AddStamp(stamp);
fileStamp.Close();
}

Document doc = new Document(mem);
doc.Metadata[Constants.PdfMetadataKey] = Id;
MemoryStream mem1 = new MemoryStream();
doc.Save(mem1);
mem.Dispose();
return mem1;

In the above code, "stream" is System.IO.Stream object which contains the PDF File and "Id" is the string we want to add as Watermark.

PDF File attached for reference.

Thanks
