We have reduced PDF generated file size for all version of the PDF format, by trimming any uneeded space in the generated content.
We introduced a new optional PDFGeneratePDF15File property for
even better compression, using advanced features (Object Streams and
Cross-Reference Streams) of the PDF 1.5 format.
This PDF 1.5 format needs Acrobot 6.0 and up to open them.
Which should be the case on your computer.
Can be up to 70% smaller for a pdf with a lot of pages with simple textual context.
I suspect our library is able to generate the smallest file size possible,
even in regard to other alternative libraries.
Open Source can be great, can't it?

The trunk version of our Open Source SynPdf library now features encryption using 40 bit or 128 bit key size.
This is a long awaiting feature, and sounds working just fine from my
tests.
Speed has been optimized (as usual with our libraries), as a consequence
encrypting the content will only be slightly slower.

Our SynPdf library was released as part of every mORMot version. But the stand-alone .zip was still in 1.15 revision. I have updated it, and now it reflects the latest version from our source code repository (i.e. 1.18). Open Source, working from Delphi 5 up to XE3. Thanks to nice proposals - like […]

For our PDF generation Open-Source library, this is a small fix update.
It can now be compiled under Delphi XE2.
But it's still working from all previous IDE versions, starting with Delphi 5,
and still 100% free - released under GPL/LGPL/MPL license, choice is yours.

The Synopse PDF Engine was just released under version 1.10
This Engine is a set of units, used in our SQLite3 database framework for
exporting reports in pdf format.
But these units can be used stand-alone, in order to produce pdf files from
pure Delphi code.

Did you notice the SQLite3Pages units?
It's a reporting unit included in our SQlite3/mORMot framework, but it
can be used standalone...

The Unicode part of the Synopse PDF engine has been updated in order to support right-to-left languages and ligatures (i.e. glyph shaping).
Therefore, our Open Source engine is one of the few PDF producer able to natively handle Arabic languages. Even most commercial engines don't implement this nice feature.

Synopse PDF engine is an Open Source PDF document creation library for Delphi, embedded in one unit. It's used in the 1.7 version of SQLite3 framework, for creating PDF files from reports.
Among its features, you can use a true TCanvas to create the PDF, and embed True Type fonts subsets. Of course, it's Unicode ready, and licensed under a MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license.
