           Summary: png graphics are expanded/uncompressed in pdf causing
                    massive file size increase
           Product: Fop
           Version: 0.92
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: pdf
        AssignedTo: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org
        ReportedBy: PBRISTOW@hetp.u-net.com


graphics as png files (total files size about 2 Mb) are expanded to some bitmap?
representation in pdf leading to a massive increase in file size (from 0.6 Mb
using version 2 to 10 Mb using version 0.92).

Is there some way of specifying that compressed graphics should be used in the pdf.

(The graphics are actually math equations - fairly complicated with integrals
etc, and some simple graphs of functions like normal distribution. About 30 of
each, so quite a lot of work to change representation ;-) Is there some other
workaround?  vector format?)

Thanks for helpful comment and promises ;-) But meanwhile:  Do you any
recommendations on MathML to SVG conversion.  A quick Google turns up some tools
but some seem not to work well yet.

We also have a problem with simple x y graphs to show simple functions as
coloured curves, for example normal distribution 'bell' curve.  Do you have
suggestions for doing these (from tables of data as decimal digits).

Thanks

Paul

We use JEuclid.
See the FO extension in examples/mathml

PNG images are currently decompressed, normalized to RGBA (32bit) and then
recompressed for PDF. Of course, that's suboptimal.

Yes, it's theoretically possible to embed the compressed PNG data directly in
the PDF. This is something that is on my task list for the next three months as
part of a general redesign of the image adapter package which is also
responsible for the implicit conversion to RGBA of the image.

Work-arounds for you: Yes, please try a vector format, preferably SVG because we
can handle this natively. Your equations will look much nicer.
