#24 File size shrinks after populating data into the fields

[chapsi]

Hi all,

I am trying to populate the fields in a PDF with data using PDFBox API. I notice that the original document is around 124 KB and the newly populated pdf is only about 82 KB. I am trying to print this modified PDF and I cant print. But I can open the modified PDF in Adobe Reader and do a File --> Print.

Has anyone seen this kind of a problem before ? Why would the file size be smaller after it gets populated. It should only be higher.

Appreciate any responses...

Thanks,
Chapsi
