Which is pretty silly considering I'm watching it happen at an office that owns 30 desktops. But it seems to me that you're having trouble imagining a business at scale that can actually generate data like this. If they use proper methodology generating their PDFs that compression process is rendered useless, because they could indeed store many millions more of documents.

Which means after x years, I'm going to run this script on the folder that passes each PDF through ghostscript to lower quality settings to 150dpi, which in general cuts all the sizes to a quarter or less of what they are currently. We plan for these things.īut that doesn't make the usage efficient, which is why I'm working with the client to determine a proper data lifecycle. The new platform simply needs 3 TB of storage and it's good for the lifespan of the replacement server. I mean you're still not wrong, I've got a server with 1.5tb of SSD storage, that's a bit more than 5 years old. When the platform is holding almost 20 years of loans, it adds up. This results in 100gb of document creep PER YEAR.

I'm dealing with in this specific case, full mortgage packages. I'm not working with that simple of a document am I? A 5x storage increase in that file is negligible, from 100k to 500k. The data I posted above was from a simple all text just a bit more than 1 page document. CutePDF seems more efficient on the Your math is based on faulty premise. So I wouldn't say never, but I will say if you're stuck in the old busted process of printing to PDF, yeah. This document has basically 1 paragraph on page 2, and is 100% text. It also is based on a print and is therefore a raster rendering of a document and not the document itself. This has a massive negative impact on print quality in some circumstances. It looks like they're running the older version of ghostscript through a minification process. This process is comparable to, but not as flexible as what Adobe Acrobat does via it's Word Plugin.įinally, CutePDF is outputting a PDF v 1.4 file, without any frills. This also results in a PDF v1.7 file, but is a text document properly converted to PDF complete with bookmarks and everything else. Modern version of Word (read 2016 and newer) have the built in ability to save as PDF. Worse, this process converts the print spool into a PDF, which results in a raster rendering of a document stored as a PDF. Microsoft Print to PDF outputs a PDF v1.7 file, configured for print use (600dpi) at full color.
