PDF files with images get unexpectedly large in SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services

When using quite small JPEGS (~ 800 KB) in a report the exported PDF is a few megabytes of size. Am I missing something (e.g. some kind of compression)?

Can anyone give me a hint on this one?

Thanks,
Neno

There is a known bug in 2000 (which I know wasn't fixed in the SP2 beta -- don't know about SP2 RTM, though) in the PDF renderer -- It causes images of any type to be converted to bitmaps, then rendered. I bet this is what you're running into.

i want to download some programme so i need urgent thanks

I would suggest installing RS SP2 and the latest QFE available (KB912424).

Thank you,
