Compressed PDF Flag

[arianbeqiri]

Hello,

Thanks for the very useful software. I noticed the PDF output write has its argument for compressed PDFs set to False. Is it possible to invert this to True? It generates very large PDF files (100s of kB for 10s of pages) currently which I have to compress with ghostscript, but it would be great if Better Fountain outputted compressed files at source?

Perhaps this could be a configuration option if the compressed files cause some compatibility issues.

Thanks,

Arian

That'd be great, although I'm not entirely sure if pdfkit (the library used to print out PDFs) supports this? Only had a vague skim through but couldn't see anything: https://github.com/foliojs/pdfkit

Thanks for the reply. Yes, you're clearly correct - I was confused by the "compress: false" attribute in the options variable within the initDoc function in pdfmaker.ts but guess this is for something else.

I might have a play over the weekend with a way of doing this with an additional library. Thanks again for this software.
