Re: [libreoffice-users] Document size (dimensions) reduction in PDF

Hello Tom,

sorry, maybe I wasn't so precise. My problem isn't a file size - my problem is a printing Document 
size. When it's exported in PDF, the printing result is a little bit reduced than the one printed 
directly from LO. Is there any way to maintain the exact dimensons for the same printing result?

Hi :)
Do you do 

File - "Export to Pdf"?

If so then in the dialogue-box, see the right-hand side?  See underneath "lossless compression" 
there is an option for "Jpeg compression"?  You can set the percentage for whatever you want.  Also 
you can further reduce the images from 300Dpi to something much lower.  200 is fairly normal.  Jpeg 
compression suffers from all the usual problems of jpg such as speckling, whirls around sharp edges 
and all that but most people don't notice that nowadays.  

A better way to get documents smaller is to make a copy of the .odt and change the file-ending from 
.odt to .zip and then open it.  Some archive managers allow you to right-click on the odt and "open 
with" the archive manager without having to change the file-ending.  Look for items that seem 
heavier than the rest.  Usually i find 1 or 2 images are excessively 'heavy' (large), particularly 
logos or photos.  These can usually be edited in Gimp or PhotoShop or something.  Gimp is 
OpenSource and free so it's my favourite.  Scale or crop images, despeckle, generally clean them up 
and you will find they take up much less space.  Then you just have to replace the old heavy ones 
with the nicer new ones.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,

I have a small problem. When I'm exporting PDF and then I try to print it, it results with small 
reduction of document's dimensions in comparison with result obtained by printing directly from LO.
My question is: Is there any way to have the size of PDF Document exactly as the original LO 
Document (margins, characters,..) without any size reduction?

Thank you,

Tom
