PHP ActiveX Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+

PDF Object Streams: generate, preserve or disable

See more PDF Optimization Examples

Demonstrates the objectStreams option. An object stream packs many small objects (dictionaries, not stream data) into one compressed stream, which is usually a worthwhile saving in a document with many pages or tags. "generate" (the default) packs them and writes a cross-reference stream; "preserve" keeps the file as it is -- packed if it already was, not packed if it was not; "disable" writes every object on its own with a classic cross-reference table, which is what a PDF 1.4 reader needs. Object streams require PDF 1.5 and are skipped for PDF/A-1. PHP ActiveX
