Pdf size optimization

Aspose.Total Product Family
1

Hi,


We have some data which can be downloaded in word or PDF. When we download them, we have noticed that the size of the PDF file is exponentially higher than the size of PDF. For example the variation is like 23 kb to 1Mb.

To solve this I have gone through the aspose documents for optimisation. However,I am not able to acess the method OptimizeResources() .

The code snippet used in vb.net is here:

Dim pdfDocument As Words.Document = New Words.Document()
_builder = New DocumentBuilder(_document)
WriteTitle(Name)
DisplaySummary()
BuildTableOfContents()
Writedocument()
Finalizedocument()

Return pdfDocument

Here I am not able to acces the optimiseresources method. Please let me know how do I use the method and reduce the size of the PDF file generated.

Thanks,
Varsha
