[THIN] Re: Printing PDF's get too big

If the PDFs are color, print them as grayscale. I've seen 4MB color PDFs
spool to over 1GB.

Hi All,

Got a client running PS4 on Win2K3 SP1, with all patches. Unfortunately,
due to their main line of business app not supporting EMF printing, we are
unable to use the UPD. We are finding that their PDF print jobs get very
large...much larger than the original PDF. Being a WAN environment, we
have
set a policy for printer bandwidth to 30k. May seem small, but that's all
we can afford to allow per session. So when printing PDF's, many of them
create large spool jobs and take a long time to print. We have tried
PCL5e,
PCL6 and PS drivers, all with similar results. Does anyone have any advice
on how we can cut the size of these print jobs? Would moving away from
Acrobat Reader help?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cheers.

Kind regards,
