ABCPDF Alter image compression when carrying out doc.AddImageUrl

Question

Using ABCPDF, currently generating pdf's with 1mb files. When we alter the pdf in acrobat pro, and simply change the image quality this drops the size to 100K.

I have looked at the documentation for ABCPDF however I cannot find a simple example of dropping the image quality prior to saving the document, hence getting a smaller pdf.

Answer 1

Appears simple :

doc.HtmlOptions.ImageQuality = 33;

Answer 2

Without reviewing the code you used to create the PDF, I would strongly suggest taking a second look at it ensure you are using the Flatten method for your document.

The AbcPdf library adds objects to a page with each typically represented as an individual layer. When you execute the Flatten method all layers on the document will be removed and replaced by compressed respresentation.

Example c# code snippet:

for (int i = 1; i <= yourPdfDocument.PageCount; i++) {
  yourPdfDocument.PageNumber = i;
  yourPdfDocument.Flatten();
}
