PDF size increased

Hi @aditya-dikonia, thank you for reporting that.

We have merged the pull-request #13 recently that aims to do not compress the PDF file in conversion. I wonder if it caused the contrary effect (increasing the file size)?

Could you revert the following line and check the size of resulting file?

// file: src/Converter/GhostscriptConverterCommand.php
protected $baseCommand = 'gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=%s -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=%s %s';

@xthiago Thanks for the solutions, This is working fine.

@aditya-dikonia Do we need to change that line? Could you attach an PDF example where the size was increased with the current implementation?

Hi, we have the same problem, we are converting 1.5+ files to 1.4, they go up from 100-500kb to 11 mb.
I've checked the conversion string, it's the one from the pull-request, i updated via composer to the latest version too... But the files still get really big... =/
