    I have tried to print just only an image (size 10x15cm - resolution 72dpi - jpg file size 38KB). The PDF file size printed (doPDF v7.1.336) has been very large (size 10x15cm - resolution 72dpi - PDF file size 248KB). I tried a PDF printing by using a novaPDF printer, but the result has been the same. I have done a test with a CutePDF writer printer; the PDF file size has been just 48KB (good result).
    I hope you will find out a solution for this issue soon... I trust you.
    Thank you and have a nice week

    I was wondering, can you do a test on your image with version 6 of doPDF? It's available here - http://www.dopdf.com/download/setup/dopdf-6.exe - and doesn't interfere with the installation of 7.

    I have done a test on image with version 6 of PDF. The result has been very satisfying. In fact the pdf file size(27kB) has really lower than original image one. I have done further test with a file.doc size 41MB. The printing PDF file size was just 18MB. It is my opinion that the version 6 of doPDF is better than version 7 at moment.
    I trust you will fix this issue for the version 7 of doPDF.
    Thank you and have a good day.

    Hi Giampaolo, thank you for posting the results, we've switched to a different compression algorithm in version 7. The problem is this, the algorithm used in version 6 produces smaller PDF files, but the quality of the image in the PDF is not as good as the one produced by version 7. So basically for accurate/good quality images version 7 is better even if the pdf is larger. In the next major version we'll introduce an option to switch between these 2 different algorithms.

    Hi.
    I have tested the accurate/good quality printing with doPDF on a word document (file size 41MB) in which there are many images. The result(file size 17MB)has been very accurate and good quality of images by my side. I printed some pages (text with images) by a inkjet printer. Very good quality images for me. I suppose that the compression algorithm in version 6 is good. At moment I will use the doPDF version 6.
    Thank a lot for your efforts to improve this usefull program.
    Have a nice day
    Giampaolo
