Description
Issue Summary
Page PDF export size significantly increases if page consist of .jpeg/jpg images
Environment
Confluence 7.0.1, 6.15.9
Steps to Reproduce
- Prepare .jpeg and .png files. Note the size of both files.
- Create two Confluence pages. Add .jpeg image to the page A and .png attachment to page B
- Export both pages to PDF
- Check the size of generated PDF export files
Expected Results
Size of PDF export is similar to the size of the images (or smaller due to the compression)
Actual Results
- PDF export from page A with .jpeg attachment (85KB) is 422kb
- PDF export from page B with .png attachment (355KB) is 180kb
Notes
- For jpeg attachment (3.2mb) page pdf export increases to 17mb
- Adding multiple jpeg attachments multiplies the increase in PDF export size
Workaround
We found a 2 steps workaround which consists of:
- Using the Export to Word feature to get the Confluence page saved as a doc file first
- Then, open the doc file in Microsoft Word, go to File > Print and select the Microsoft Print to PDF in the printer dropdown list to save the .doc file to a .pdf file.
