Smartform to pdf - file too big

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

I'm converting smartform to pdf and then I'm sending it to FTP file server.

Everything is working but the file is too big for me.

For every page I have 400 kB. Form has one colour logo and black text.

Is there any way to make it smaller?

Maybe get it in greyscale.

Hi,

For the logo, is it repeated on every page? If so, you should ensure that the graphic in the SPA system has the property "Resides in the Printer Memory" set in transaction SE78. Otherwise, the graphic is sent again for each page.

Depending on your support pack, you may also have to apply SAP note 1329860.

Hello,

Logo is on 1, 3, 5... page, because original layout is in duplex.

Option "Resides in the Printer Memory" is set for the logo.

Is it possible to have this smartform covered to greyscale?

Thanks

Hi Pawel,

You would need to convert your graphic via an external graphic tool and upload it to SAP again via transaction se78.

Anothpossible reason for the large PDF file is that you use true type fonts like e.g .Arial in your smartform. In this case, the complete font fiiles are embedded into the PDF file.

Yes, I have Arial font and I can't change it.

I don't want to change logo also because when we print the smartform it has to be colour.

Is there any possibility to change/decease PDF quality by changing options in "control_parameters" in function module to get smartform layout?

Will give 10 pints for helpful answer

Thanks

Hello,

Check SAP note 843480.

Hi Pawel,

If you use SAP font HELVE, then the internal Adobe font Arial is used in the PDF file.

There is one other possibility. You need to delete the Arial true type font in the SAP system via RSTXPDF2 and upload it again with the option ' Do not insert font in PDF'. See the KBA 1605966 about this.

Aidan
