Hi Sachin,

Thanks for the thread. But it does not help us.

We should explain the issue of these sizes in little more detail.

We have a program created for PDF outputs. The PDF form is created in SFP transaction like smartform.

As you might know that a fucntion module gets created internally for the PDF form similar to a smartform.

Now during execution, the function modules(for PDF form) returns an parameter called /1bcdwb/formoutput, which has field called pdf. This field holds the entire PDF output in binery format. We use this to create a file on the appliction server. I hope you can guess why the size of the file is bigger to the file that I save the PDF output on desktop from print preview.

We are looking for a solution on how to reduce this file that gets stored on the application server using the binery data of PDF form.

Thanks and Regards,
