I am running into the same problem where I am converting a large number of word documents to pdf using aspose words and I am finding that the pfd files are on average almost 100k or twice as large at the source word document.
I did a couple of examples of converting with aspose and then converting the same file by saving it through word and the aspose files are significantly larger.
Three tests are:
Doc Desc | Sourc doc | Aspose pdf Convert | Word to Pdf Convert |
---|---|---|---|
Small number of words | 9KB | 27KB | 3KB |
13 pages of text | 23KB | 222KB | 159KB |
Text and embedded | 20,830KB | 6,883KB | 1,153KB |
I need to convert and store thousands of documents that will mostly be in the middle (text) category. Is there anything I can do to improve the conversion rate?
