Reduce size of pdf report

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by PaulST 55

Hello

Is it possible in DAX-2012 to reduce size of pdf generated: when a SSRS report (let's say sales invoice) is finished and after that is exported as pdf? Is the constant COMPRESSIONLEVEL from the class PDFViewer the only possibilty for that? Changing fonts would be not of interest, there also no other large Images in the reports.

Pdf size below 150Kb would be our goal.

Regards

Pavel

    The main are pretty much summarized in a blog post published for AX 2009:

    blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../how-to-reduce-the-file-size-of-pdf-files-generated-by-ax-2009

    Your other option would be to use some sort of command-line tool written for PDF shrinking to be automagically called when you create a document from AX.

    Also refer to this post from just the other day:

    https://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/p/241831/667017

    Alternatively you could use a PDF writer print driver and see if that results in a smaller file rather than using the print to PDF file feature of AX.

    Thank you Vilmos!

    (I had seen some of the posts before)

    If our customer would decide to go the way with use of some externl shrink-tool I would shortly write back some concretics.
