Huge output pdf file.

Hi,

Actually I've written my master's thesis with TeXnicCenter under MiKTeX
2.5 distribution. I've used many bitmap images (of 'JPEG' format), in
my thesis report. Everything goes in a right way except that the output
pdf file that is generated, possesses a huge disk size (around 10 MB!).
This is not feasible anyway. Is there any way to reduce this huge size.

best regards...

Muneeb.

Hi Muneeb,
check for the size of your images. I think, most of the 10 mb are only
the images. So the only way to reduce the size significantly is to
reduce the size of your images. Of course, if you use jpg, the size is
already small. So what kind of images do you use?
pictures or technical drawings? Cause if, you made them your self, you
could make these pictures in LaTeX it self with the package pstricks. It
is very powerful, just have a look at the documentation. (especially
pstricks-add)
I don't know another solution, hope this one was helpfull,

Yannick

P.S. I have made a document for university. 112 pages with many drawings
in LaTeX. The size is around 2 mb!

Hi Muneeb,

Try converting your .jpg images into .pdf and use converted .pdf as your images. This might probably help.

Best of luck.

Hello,

The first thing to decide is which format to use.

If it is a simple drawing or a graphic it is better to use .png, the
compression and the quality will be better; if it is a photo it is
better to use .jpeg, again compression and quality will be better.
Further for .png and .jpeg you can choose the compression/quality (one
opposite to the other) level. It is not always necessary to select 100%
quality.

And yes, the advice of Yannick, for graphics of course, is good use
pstricks or tikz.

About Jay advice, I do not have experience about compressed .pdf format.

Good luck,

Alain Delmotte

The standard command line tool is probably imagemagick. Google for it.
Converting to pdf requires ghostscript but sine you use TeX, you probably have
it already.

I believe both IrfanView and XnView are freeware graphics utilities that can
save/convert a jpg to a pdf.

Also you can use the professional tools like coreldraw, adobe illustrator, etc.. and I guess you can also use GIMP.

You can also print the jpg file to a pdf file, using PDFCreator, or
PDF995, for example.

Just remember to modify the paper size to the correct picture
dimmensions...


Cadu.
