Exported PDFs are huge

Post by Torgen »

Using the PDF export functionality on a 60 page teleplay generates a 1.44M PDF file. Using Chrome's built-in Print to PDF option generates a ~165k file for the same teleplay. I don't know if Chrome uses some kind of compression, but YouMeScript should be more content-aware and be able to generate a smaller file.

Torgen, I've been testing an update to my PDF library today, and so far it looks good: a 4300k (160 page) file came down to 520k, which looks like the same ratio you're seeing with Chrome.

Once all testing is done, it'll get released.
