I have a pdf document with 99 pages that is 12.5MB as a pdf file. When I run it through the gpdf2swf converter it creates an SWF file that is 8.9MB and looks great.
When I plug the same pdf file into the web application that my web agency is building for me it creates an overall file size of around 100MB and understandably takes forever to load
pdf2swf is used within the application to convert the pdf into 99 separate SWF files (one per page) which are then displayed in a Flash based viewer on the site
Could anyone tell me why the overall file size for the document when converted into one SWF per page is so large (and the image quality worse) compared to converting the file as a single SWF with the stand alone gpdf2swf converter.
Is this normal or has my web agency done something very, very wrong.
A bottle of The Macallan to anyone who can tell me what to tell my web agency to get the file size and quality at least somewhere near the gpdf2swf 8.9MB
Many thanks in advance,
