PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Hi all,
I am using the 6.2 preview version of PDFSharp. When ever i am saving the document with the file size is reducing. While i am checking the fonts attached, the file has more fonts. Is there any way to keep all the fonts and keep the original file size intact?

Thanks,
Hyder

It is by design that the file is newly written and that some changes occur.
It is by design that new fonts are added when new text is added.

PDFsharp is open source and if you implement changes that allow PDFsharp to add text while using the available fonts from the PDF file, we will gladly review your pull request.

Thanks Thomas for the prompt reply. I understand while we add new text the font will be added. My query is, the reduction of file size while saving the file after the addition of text?

Thanks
Hyder

Maybe I don't get your point.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your reply and apologies for not being clear. My doubt was, I was trying to use graphics object of a pdf page to draw a text on the page using PDFSharp library, sometime when we save the file after adding the text using(graphics.DrawString)the actual file size is getting reduced. As far as my understanding , the text drawn using (graphics.DrawString) is being embedded in stream so it will increase the file size . But sometime i am seeing the original file size reduction(For example 70MB to 65MB). what could be the reason?

Streams in the PDF file can be compressed ("zipped") and will be compressed when saved with PDFsharp. This is a lossless process that can reduce the filesize if the original file was not using compression or a lower compression level.
