Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me
Once a month I produce a report from source data and use Monarch to link all the necessary data into the requested report. Up until July this was done by exporting from monarch into an excel file and then PDFing each report (86 in total) - this as you can imagine took a considerable amount of man-hours. In July I semi-automated the procedure as the newer version of Monarch allows for exporting directly to a PDF. This modification was run and distributed for the June month end, with for example a single report being 157KB.
I was on holiday and my line manager ran the job (with the same version of monarch on it and adobe] so this surely shouldn’t have caused any problems.) He then had to VNC onto my machine (with my password) to complete the Batch Processing within Adobe, as his is not set up for this particular function.
When the PDF was exported it was 583KB, and this is just for one report.
Can you please explain why these two identical files are different sizes?
I have gone through all the setting in Adobe and Monarch (the PDF Converter, the Postscript printer and the default printer ) but to no avail, there is no significant change in size.) I don’t know if the problem is through Monarch, Adobe or something to do with our printer profiles
regards
