Highly Optimized
Besides being highly optimized for text and image handling in all conditions,
PDFDevice provides numerous image handling options that
allow the developer or user to fine-tune the performance of PDF production. Our
performance tests show that, when utilizing simple JPEG compression for images,
PDFDevice takes on average 16 milliseconds to process a page*. A fifty page report with
a number of medium sized images using a standard laptop or desktop computer takes
typically less than 1 second to produce.
Print to Memory (new
for version 3)
In addition to highly optimized font caching and image handling, PDFDevice also
has the option to direct PDF output to a memory variable which is of particular
benefit to applications that require the PDF output to be redirected to another
server on a local or wide area network.
*Figures based on a report containing 50 A4 pages and 10 medium sized images (0.5 mega pixels average size). Test platform Omnis Studio 6.0 running on a Macintosh 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 laptop with 8 GB 1067 MHz memory. Images were converted to JPEG format at 75% quality. Stated time indicates how long it took PDFDevice to output each individual page to a PDF document and does not include the time it took by Omnis to prepare the report for output.
