How can I reduce the size of ReportViewer exported Pdf files

Jul 11 2008 9:56 AM

Hi, I have to email the ReportViewer (local) exported Pdf file. The body of my 1 page report consists of Tables and Graphs. I tried the Image and Chart controls for the graph and exported to Excel and Pdf. I am puzzled by the huge difference in file size (kilobytes).

 Image control: Excel 35 Pdf 844  Chart control: Excel 30 Pdf 3240

 It is not feasible to email the Pdf files. Am I doing something wrong.   Can anyone please help me reduce the size of the exported Pdf files?

Thanks for your help - RS
