Hi I am using aspose-pdf-9.7.0-jdk16.jar version jar for converting PDF to PDF/A.


For one of the document when we converted PDF to PDF/A found the new generated PDF file size gets 17 times of the original. Is there a way this can be minimized and kept close to the original?


Thanks

Hi Sherry,


Thanks for sharing the resource file.

I
have tested the scenario and have observed that when converting PDF file to PDF/A_1b format, the size of resultant file becomes 9.9 MB. For the
sake of correction, I have logged it in our issue tracking system as PDFNEWJAVA-34779. We
will investigate this issue in details and will keep you updated on the status
of a correction. <o:p></o:p>

We apologize for your inconvenience.

Hi Sherry,


Thanks for your. We have investigated the issue and found it is not a bug. The PDF/A_1b standard assumes that the fonts are embedded in the document. The resultant PDFA contains the embedded fonts that increase the file size whereas source file does not has any embedded font.

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Hello, We have converted the same document through Acrobat Pro 11 to PDF/A and found the file size less and equivalent. Looks like aspose PDF/A conversion adding small stream of data to large streams. please verify.
