I am using iText to split and merger the PDF, I need your help to reduce (compress) the output PDF size programmatically. Please let me know the steps to achieve the same.
With writer.setFullCompression()
you already compressed file as much as possible. With iText you can't do anything more.
use iText
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(new FileInputStream("input.pdf"));
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream("output.pdf"));
int total = reader.getNumberOfPages() + 1;
for ( int i=1; i<total; i++) {
reader.setPageContent(i + 1, reader.getPageContent(i + 1));
}
stamper.setFullCompression();
stamper.close();
Also change the PdfCopy
to PdfSmartCopy
. It will eliminate duplicate streams which have the same hash (md5).
You can use ghostscript, invoking the exe with specific parameters for print your pdf with the ghostscript's pdfwriter (example: sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=myfile.pdf). There are several accepted parameters, for compression or quality levels, etc.
It may result and optimized and smaller file.
