Adding page numbers to existing PDF

[ALDEWACS]

When I take an existing PDF that is in landscape format and run it through the PDF-XChange printer to add page number increases in size from 17Kb to 250Kb and the orientation changes to portrait. Question is why does this happen?

Thanks for any help

Below is code used:

pdfPrinter.ResetDefaults
pdfPrinter.Option("Save.File") = m_fname
pdfPrinter.Option("Save.SaveType") = "Save"
pdfPrinter.Option("Save.ShowSaveDialog") = "No"
pdfPrinter.Option("Save.WhenExists") = "Overwrite"

If (m_bUseCompression = True) Then
With pdfPrinter
.Option("Compression.Graphics") = "Yes"
.Option("Compression.Text") = "Yes"
.Option("Compression.ASCII") = "No"
.Option("Compression.Color.Enabled") = "Yes"
.Option("Compression.Color.Method") = "Auto"
.Option("Compression.Indexed.Enabled") = "Yes"
.Option("Compression.Indexed.Method") = "Auto"
.Option("Compression.Mono.Enabled") = "Yes"
.Option("Compression.Mono.Method") = "Auto"
End With
Else
pdfPrinter.Option("Compression.Graphics") = "No"
pdfPrinter.Option("Compression.Text") = "No"
End If


With pdfPrinter
.Option("Fonts.EmbedAll") = IIf(m_bEmbeddFonts = True, 1, 0)
.Option("Save.RunApp") = m_bRun
.Option("Save.RunCustom") = "No"
.Option("Paper.SheetSizeIndex") = -1

.Option("HeadersFooters.Enabled") = True
.Option("HeadersFooters.FirstPageNumber") = intPageNo
.Option("HeadersFooters.OffsetBottom") = 50

.Option("HeadersFooters.Footer.left.Font") = "Arial"
.Option("HeadersFooters.Footer.left.FontBold") = "No"
.Option("HeadersFooters.Footer.left.FontSize") = 80
.Option("HeadersFooters.Footer.left.color") = 0
.Option("HeadersFooters.Footer.left.Value") = "Page %[Page]"
End With

d = ShellExecute(0, "printto", clsP.PDF_filename, pname, vbNull, SW_MINIMIZE)

Please supply a sample PDF - before and after. Zipped.

thanks

John,

I've got a solution using another tool. It adds the page numbers and maintains the orientation of the PDF without increasing the result PDF size by such a factor as PDF-XChange does. You may want to research this symptom of your tool.

Thanks

Please zip and attach a sample of the before and after pdfs so we can analyze the reported behaviour.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

I do not have sample files to provide - I've deleted them since I have a solution that works for me.

Sorry
