Multi Page PDF with same image on each page, but the image is stored only once.

Hi all, I hope you can help, 

 

Just like a webpage where you have multi pages displaying the same image but its only saved once in the resorces folder.

I have to do a large report run and all the pages use the same logo and footer (they are images). 

Example:

1 page pdf file size = 120kb, lets say the images make up 100kb and the rest of the content is 20kb.

50 page pdf file size = 6mb, lets say the images make up 5mb and the rest of the content is 1mb.

 

I want the 50 page pdf file size to be 1.2mb as its only storing the images once but on screen and printing it is displayed in each page. Is there a solution?

 

Thanks

It is the conversion software that makes the decision on how to reference the images. 

But if you add the logo and footer image after conversion to PDF, you can guarantee a common reference by adding them as a watermark or background.
