Apple provide nice and easy apis to take a view/image and save it as a
pdf. As most everyone knows the resulting file size is huge compared to
a jpg. I realize the reason for this is that there is little or no
compression allowed and that a pdf is a pdf and a jpg is a jpg.
However, it is my understanding that a jpg can be embedded into a pdf
along with Quicktime movies, gifs, and other less trivial things found
in the basement ect..... this embedding is completely normal in the pdf
specs.
Does anyone have an idea in code how can this be done with Cocoa. I
have looked at the pdf specs and the huge 1400 page format manual Adobe
supplies. I would rather spend the time reading manuals on core data.
Does anyone know if there are any apis where you can tell a view that
what ever composes the view in creating a pdf of the view, to use and
embed the components comprising the view......or even better, telling
the apis to save a view as pdf, to compress it as a jpg and embed the
jpg in the pdf. There is a 10 fold savings in file space saved when
doing this.
