Converting to PDF/A - images size goes way up in file size

[zarkogajic]

Hi Support,

I'm saving a document as PDF/A:

image.png

The original document has ~80 MB, with space usage as:

image(1).png

After the conversion, the PDFA has ~550 MB with:

image(2).png

Note the size of images in PDF/A version.

Is this to expect?

Hello, zarkogajic

The conversion to PDF/A should show a report at the end of the process. If it needed to recompress images to match PDF/A's requirements, or makes a similar notes of changes, than yes, such a change could be expected.

Could I ask for a copy of the document in question, and a screenshot of the conversion report you get after saving?

Kind regards,
