Of course, graphics are embedded in PDF so they take a lot of place.

Moreover, if you use TrueType fonts that are embedded in the PDF (check with program RSTXPDF2), it may increase a lot! (200 KB by font or more if font is unicode). Use fonts that are part of the 14 primordial Adobe Reader fonts (see SAP notes and Adobe documentation, and forum) so that to not embed fonts in the PDF.

thanks

ı checked the form still and used fonts are courier and ariel as standart not Z...

is that mean these fonts are embedded to pdf docs as default?

then in that case the large size of ur pdf is because of the images embedded in it, so i dont think u can do much abt it, except may be reducing the sizes of images

... and read these 2 notes:

- Note 843480 - PDF conversion: Compression of bitmaps and TrueType fonts

- Note 141901 - Customer-specific fonts for PDF conversion

Arial is not part of standard Adobe fonts

The only solution to know the size of the embedded fonts is to replace all your fonts with Courier.

Or, to know the size of all the pictures, remove them.
