Re: [PyX-user] Fwd: How to reduce the file size ?

[Michael J G. <mic...@us...>]

Hi Vignesh

You didn't provide a complete example, but I assume that your "j" is a
canvas.canvas instance, right?
The writePDFfile method of canvas creates a document.page and calls
document.document's writePFfile method for you. If you want to specify
keyword arguments for the latter when you use canvas.writePDFfile,
write them as "write_compress" etc.
