[OBSOLETE ARTICLE: Currently the default value for FontEmbedding setting is SubSet.]

DESCRIPTION
When exporting to PDF the exported file size is very big

SOLUTION
The most probable reason for the large size is that fonts are embedded by default in the PDF document.

With version Q3 2007 of Telerik Reporting we have introduced the capability to configure the rendering extensions. As far as the PDF export is concerned you can choose whether and how to embed used fonts in the resulting document.

If you would like to reduce the file size, you can try with the values Subset or None for the FontEmbedding parameter i.e.:

<configSections> 
    <section name="Telerik.Reporting" type="Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Config.ReportingConfigurationSection, Telerik.Reporting, Version=x.x.x.x, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a9d7983dfcc261be" allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere" /> 
  </configSections> 
  <Telerik.Reporting> 
    <Extensions> 
      <Render> 
        <Extension name="PDF"> 
          <Parameters> 
            <Parameter name="FontEmbedding" value="None" /> 
          </Parameters> 
        </Extension> 
      </Render> 
    </Extensions> 
  </Telerik.Reporting> 

For more information please see Configuring Telerik Reporting and Device Information Settings.

Note: The code sample has the version listed as Version=x.x.x.x  -  you should change that with the exact assembly version you use before proceeding.
