    Hi,
    I'm using TCPDF 5.9.075 for generating pdf files from photos. Each pdf has 20 300dpi jpeg images. One jpeg on each page. The pdf are meant for printing.
    The resulting pdfs are quite large, easily 30MB. I've tried the zlib compression, but that doesn't change the filesize.
    Any ideas how this can be optimized/compressed?

      Search for and use ghostscript.

    The resulting size is mainly due to the image size, so your only choice is to reduce the image size either reducing the resolution or using JPEG compression.
