I have some code in Access 2010 VBA that reads records and creates a single PDF from multiple linked PDF's with bookmarks. This code works fine:

What i would like to do is when saving the file, reduce the final pdf file size as much as possible.
I don't see any parameters on the PdfDoc.Save that could cause the reduction in file size (hoping there is, just have not found it yet)
I see other Save options like PDSaveCompressed in PDSaveFlags2, but do not know how to get them to work or which ones to choose:
PDDocSaveParams
PDDocSaveWithParams
enum PDSaveFlags2 {
PDSaveUncompressed = 1 << 0,
PDSaveCompressed = 1 << 1,
PDSaveCompressStructureOnly = 1 << 2,
PDSaveRemoveASCIIFilters = 1 << 3,
PDSaveAddFlate = 1 << 4,
PDSaveReplaceLZW = 1 << 5,
PDSaveOptimizeXObjects = 1 << 6,
PDSaveOptimizeContentStreams = 1 << 7,
PDSaveOptimizeFonts = 1 << 8,
PDSaveOptimizeMarkedJBIG2Dictionaries = 1 << 9,
PDSaveEnsure7bitASCII = 1 << 10,
PDSaveAutoSave = 1 << 11,
PDSaveOverrideCollections = 1 << 12
}
If none of the above will reduce the pdf file size, I have found other options like PDFOptPDFVersion - setting it to 0x00090000 for Acrobat 9 and up, but again cannot find any examples on how to use it:
AVDocDoSaveAsWithParams ()
PDFOptPDFVersion enmAcrobatVersion - can set the version to support to (like acrobat 9 and up)
PDFOptObjectCompression - not sure what the enumerations are on this one.
struct _t_PDFOptParams {
ASSize_t size;
ASPathName asPathDest;
ASFileSys fileSys;
ProgressMonitor progMon;
void* progMonClientData;
PDFOptPDFVersion enmAcrobatVersion; 0x00090000
PDFOptImageOptionsRec imageOptionsColor;
PDFOptImageOptionsRec imageOptionsGrayscale;
PDFOptImageOptionsRec imageOptionsMonochrome;
PDFont* arrPDFontsToUnembed;
ASInt32 cPDFontsToUnembed;
PDFOptFlattenTransparencyOptions pdfOptFlattenTransparencyOptions;
ASBool bRemoveFormActions;
ASBool bFlattenFormFields;
ASBool bRemoveJavascriptActions;
ASBool bRemoveAlternateImages;
ASBool bRemoveThumbnails;
ASBool bRemoveDocumentTags;
ASBool bSmoothenLines;
ASBool bMergeImageFragments;
ASBool bRemovePrintSettings;
ASBool bRemoveSrchIndex;
ASBool bRemoveBookmarks;
ASBool bRemoveCommentsAndWidgets;
ASBool bRemoveDocInfoAndMetadata;
ASBool bRemoveObjectData;
ASBool bRemoveFileAttachments;
ASBool bRemoveCrossRefs;
ASBool bRemovePrivateData;
ASBool bFlattenVisibleLayers;
PDFOptObjectCompression enmObjectCompression;
ASBool bUnencodedToFlate;
ASBool bLZWToFlate;
ASBool bRemoveInvalidBookmarks;
ASBool bRemoveInvalidLinks;
ASBool bRemoveUnreferencedNamedDests;
ASBool bLinearize;
ASBool bSkipIrreducibleImages;
ASBool bSubsetEmbeddedFonts;
ASBool bOptimizeContentStms;
}
But again, can't find any examples on how to use these collections.
Any help would be greatly Appreciated!
