Reduce size of PDF in smartform

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are working for a requirement where in we need to create a PDF file as an attachment in the mail using smartform and send it across to the vendor.

We are successfull in creating the PDF attachment but since the size of PDF is high (>300 KB) we are facing issues.

For your information we are using logo and digital signature in the PDF. We dont know if this is creating the issue.

Can anyone help us how to reduce the size of the PDF (we need it to be <50KB).

Helpful answers will surely be rewarded.

Thanks in advance,

Asif Ali Khan
