           Summary: Pdf generated by FOP has huge size when printing
           Product: Fop
           Version: 0.20.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P4
         Component: pdf
        AssignedTo: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org
        ReportedBy: shirasaya1@wp.pl


We have generated pdf files using fop 0.20.5 from xml file given some xsl
stylesheet, that is pretty complicated(conditions, foreach's). Pdf looks good,
has an average 80k. 
Problem is printing. You can see that size of printed pdfs increase to 3 even 7
mb! Meanwhile we took another document, made by acrobat writer - full of images
inside, some formatting - and it had only 300k when printing. Why?
It had something to do with compression?
Are there any posiible options to set while transforming fo to pdf?
thanks,
Paul

This does not appear to be a bug / problem report but a question. Please ask
questions on the fop-user mailing list and don't use BugZilla for that purpose.

I also don't understand the question in the first place. Printing doesn't change
the size of the PDF. The PDF file still has the same size all the time. Do you
mean your printer driver when sending the file to the printer sends a large
amount of data to the printer? A printer driver won't send the PDF to the
printer but does whatever it needs to do to convert PDF to a format your printer
understands (PCL, Postscript, ...). All this is outside of FOP because as you
report the PDF generated by FOP is small and displays fine.

Please note also that 0.20.5 is obsolete and not supported anymore. Although
upgrading may not address your printing problem at all.

(In reply to comment #1)
Thank you for reply.
It was a question, indeed, im sorry. But potentially, thing could be caused by
fop bug, my apologies though.
 
I meant Acrobat/printer driver sends a large amount of data to the printer.

Agree, but problem is that the thing which is sent to printer has different 
size, depending on if it is made by fop or not.
Fop's pdf has huge size while other dont. Thats why i think its fop-thing that
matters.
