Android PdfDocument file size

Question

I want to generate a PDF File from a View using the PdfDocument android class introduced in KitKat. I managed to do it, and the file is so far generated ok, end

Answer 1

There are a few main things that increases the size of a PDF file:

hi-resolution pictures (where lo-res would suffice)
embedded fonts (where content would still be readable "good enough" without them)
PDF content not required any more for the current version/view (older version of certain objects)
embedded ICC profiles
embedded third-party files (using the PDF as a container)
embedded job tickets (for printing)
embedded Javascript
and a few more

Try using iText. Following links give a basice idea for iText in android.
