I converted some files and the fonts were not embedded with the default settings.<br /> Thanks </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/subset-of-embedded-fonts#post-1034 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:47:48 +0000 Softland 1034@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>No one said that subsets cannot be supported, just that they'll be in a future version. In fact this feature will be included in dopdf 7 which should be released in november or early december.</p> <p>Right now if you want to reduce the size of the pdf you can choose not to embed the fonts. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/subset-of-embedded-fonts#post-1033 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:21:32 +0000 Guillaume_nl 1033@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>In a future version of doPDF we'll embed by default all used font subsets.</p></blockquote> <p>This is a quote of yourself:<br /> <a href="http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/which-fonts-are-supported#post-309" rel="nofollow">http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/which-fonts-are-supported#post-309</a></p> <p>So why is it that subsets are not to be/cannot be supported all of a sudden? In my opinion it makes doPDF completely useless, as a 182KB PDF-file with some text becomes a 2.99MB file when fonts are embedded (whereas if I create the same file with subset of fonts embedded in OpenOffice, the file is only 81KB). </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/file-size#post-871 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 13:42:48 +0000 Softland 871@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Make sure you uncheck the option "Embed fonts" when printing. I printed with dopdf google.com's main page and it resulted a bit over 80kb, the same test with fonts embedded being at over 1Mb. </p> <p>The 300dpi option is ignored by Internet Explorer, if you do the test of setting a 72dpi option in word or notepad you'll see is kept. IE ignores it because it already sends the images in lower resolution. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/file-size#post-870 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:33:27 +0000 Acerola 870@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>As a suggestion for future releases, you should try and improve the image compression algorithms. I did a simple test. I opened Google's main page on Internet Explorer and printed it on dopdf, pdf995 and pdffactory. The results were:</p> <p>pdffactory: 24KB<br /> pdf995: 30KB<br /> dopdf: 489KB</p> <p>All at 300dpi, which I couldn't change in dopdf, but this bug has already been reported on other messages in this forum. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/small-output-images-with-chrome#post-804 Sun, 24 May 2009 12:45:57 +0000 cmbrittin 804@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Small update: Just got a new PC.

I went back to the original docs and did my resize there then I copied &#38; pasted into the larger doc to be pdf'd. dopdf print and the result was from a file of 1666kb output was 896kb. Yahoo! issue resovled.</p> <p>My life can go back to its normal state of relative happiness. Good job! </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/pdf-file-oversized-in-62288#post-623 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 07:56:36 +0000 Softland 623@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>If I understand correctly, the problem is that a word document of 1594kb results in a pdf of 2499kb, this happening with the previous version and with the current one too. However another doc of about 20mb results in a 2mb pdf file. </p> <p>I don't see anything abnormal here, because it all depends on what the word doc contains. If it has images that were resized in it (not externally) than the pdf will include the entire size, that's why the increase in size instead of decrease. You can see some tips on reducing the size of the pdf here - <a href="http://www.novapdf.com/kb/reduce-pdf-file-size-152.html">Adjust images in the original document to reduce the size of the resulting PDF</a> (the first part of the article applies to dopdf too, and that should help reduce the size of the pdf). </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/pdf-file-oversized-in-62288#post-622 Wed, 18 Feb 2009 04:49:28 +0000 wsnedden 622@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>pdf out from dopdf is larger than the original. When source file (.doc) was 1594kb output pdf was 2499kb. I reinstalled 6.2.287 and re-ran a 21,163kb file through dopdf and the result was a file size of 1961kb [a good compression!).</p> <p>Reran original 1594kb file again and got same result as previous i.e. 2499kb. It seems like there should have been some compression not an expansion???</p> <p>Anyone got any clues as to why this might be ok? </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/pdf-file-oversized-in-62288#post-620 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:41:56 +0000 wsnedden 620@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I recently downloaded the 6.2.288 and after running it for a .doc file type that was 1594 kb the pdf result has 2499 kb. I did NOT check the "embed fonts" check box. I think it did it anyway!!?? I haven't looked yet, but I am going to try to download the prvious version. Has anyone else had this problem? The previous version generated a pdf with 2038kb from a file that was 18,000kb.</p> <p>Is this a bug? </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/pdf-file-oversized-in-62288#post-608 Mon, 16 Feb 2009 08:23:17 +0000 Softland 608@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>glad you've solved this </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/pdf-file-oversized-in-62288#post-605 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 13:13:48 +0000 Francisco Faz 605@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Forget it... reinstalled and all is OK now... mea culpa! </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/pdf-file-oversized-in-62288#post-604 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 04:54:35 +0000 Francisco Faz 604@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>In this new version 6.2.288 the PDF file is more big as before (5X at less)... please check this... </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/subset-of-embedded-fonts#post-591 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 06:52:04 +0000 Softland 591@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi, it cannot embed subsets only. The only solution I see is to create it without embedded fonts and ensure that the recipient has those used fonts (or you could send the font separately). </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/subset-of-embedded-fonts#post-587 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:07:39 +0000 mandyvigilante 587@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I'm not sure if this has been asked on the forum before and if it has, I'm sorry. Is there a way to embed only a subset of the fonts used in the document? I have a two page document written in Japanese characters, and when I convert it with the fonts embedded it goes from 183KB to 44.5MB. That is a HUGE difference and I'm not sure what I can do about it. </p>
