Hi All

 

Hope all is well.  I'm really liking QGIS 3.14!!

 

I have a question re the file size of PDF outputs.  Since upgrading to 3.14,
the file size of PDF outputs seems to have grown by a substantial amount.
If I have SVG or font marker fills, even more so.  An A3 map, typically was
5mb or so, now it is outputting at close to 30mb.  Id then normally use
Acrobat to compress and get it down a bit without losing any discernable
quality (but retain geo info), but even then it's still over 20mb.

 

PDF is preferable for obvious reasond (obviously easily read and opened buy
almost anybody and anything, retains GEO info for using in apps like Avenza)
but why has the output file size grown so much.  Tweaking the output
controls/options makes little difference.

 

How do others deal with this issue?  Is there anywhere that I can have some
control over the DPI of the output etc, much like the old days when we hade
Acrobat installed as a stand-alone printer driver?

 

Interested to hear others experiences dealing with this.

 

Cheers

Tony
