When you convert a document into a pdf file,you may know the advantages of pdf files,and you convert for one or some of the advantages.You may care about the security,the smaller size,used across platforms,etc.of pdf file.

There are a lot of people who care about the compression function of pdf file.For example, a typed 8 1/2x11 letter is approximately 1,000 kilobytes in size when scanned into the system but compresses to 28-33 kilobytes when converted into a PDF document. An electronic document converted into a PDF document compresses to approximately 25% of its original size. For example, a 20KB word processing document is compressed to under 5KB. This allows the PDF document to open quickly at the workstation and is ideal for use on a network/internet/intranet.So people would love to convert their documents into pdf file.

But somebody will find the problem after conversion that the size of created pdf file is much bigger than the original one.Why and how to resolve the problem?
