I’m really liking QGIS 3.14!!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have a question re the file size of PDF outputs. Since upgrading to 3.14, the file size of PDF outputs seems to have grown by a substantial amount. If I have SVG or font marker fills, even more so. An A3 map, typically was 5mb or so, now it is outputting at close to 30mb. Id then normally use Acrobat to compress and get it down a bit without losing any discernable quality (but retain geo info), but even then it's still over 20mb.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>PDF is preferable for obvious reasond (obviously easily read and opened buy almost anybody and anything, retains GEO info for using in apps like Avenza) but why has the output file size grown so much. Tweaking the output controls/options makes little difference.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>How do others deal with this issue? Is there anywhere that I can have some control over the DPI of the output etc, much like the old days when we hade Acrobat installed as a stand-alone printer driver?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Interested to hear others experiences dealing with this.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'>Cheers<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'>Tony<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#404040;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'>Tony Shepherd</span></b><span style='color:#595959;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'> </span><b><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'>|</span></b><span style='color:#595959;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'> GeoSpatial / Mapping Manager<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#595959;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'>Ph 027 435 6193 </span><b><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'>|</span></b><span style='color:#595959;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'> E <a href="mailto:tony@farmmaps.nz"><span style='color:#0563C1'>tony@farmmaps.nz</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#595959;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'>FarmMaps NZ, 3 Kerwood Place, Gore 9740<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#595959;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#595959;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'><img border=0 width=160 height=75 style='width:1.6666in;height:.7812in' id="_x0000_i1027" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D66729.FA6A0320" alt="FM_logo1_small (Custom)"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#7B7B7B;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#7B7B7B;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://tonyshepherd8.wixsite.com/home"><b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:windowtext;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=157 height=34 style='width:1.6354in;height:.3541in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image002.png@01D66729.FA6A0320"></span></b></a><a href="https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=ISTLGORE2"><b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:windowtext;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=170 height=37 style='width:1.7708in;height:.3854in' id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image003.png@01D66729.FA6A0320"></span></b></a><b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-NZ'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
