Hi
I’m using aspose.words for .net v18.10.
when i convert the attached .docx to pdf, the pdf size is about 13 MB, while when I export to pdf from word, the resulting pdf size is about 5 MB …
could you tell me why there is this difference ?
and if there are options in aspose to optimize the resulting pdf size when saving to pdf ?
thanks in advance.

Thanks for sharing the document. We suggest you please use the properties of PdfSaveOptions class as shown below to reduce the size of PDF. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + @"test size.docx");
PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptions.ImageCompression = PdfImageCompression.Jpeg;
pdfSaveOptions.DownsampleOptions.Resolution = 100;
doc.Save(MyDir + "19.1.pdf", pdfSaveOptions);
