I'm having a problem with the PDF creation capability in the new Filemaker Pro 8, and someone on the Omnipilot Filemaker list suggested that I post the problem here. In a nutshell, here it is:
I have a 128 page report in Filemaker. When I print to Acrobat 6, the file size of the PDF is about 400K. But when I print to PDF using FMP8's new PDF command, the file size is 5.4 MB for the same report. So Filemaker is apparently including something in its file that the straight print to Acrobat is not, but I have no way of knowing what it is or what I can do (if anything) to fix it and reduce the file size.
Though I don't know if anyone here is a Filemaker user, perhaps someone could suggest what I might do to at least identify the problem. That may suggest a solution. As it stands now, the PDF feature is of little use to me because of the huge files it generates.
By the way, I'm using Windows XP Pro.
Thanks!
