WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When the customer has a file saved it is only 18K in size but when he does a print to disk it jumps in size to 130K. He wants to know what is causing this problem. Solutions: Depending on the printer and what is in the document, a print to disk can sometimes be very large. For instance, some graphics images can be very simple from the perspective of WP, but the printer may have complex graphics commands and require a great deal of data to reproduce the image. Take Tables for instance. The information stored in a document may be very minimal (WP designed it so that it would be easy to define and not use much space). But to get that printed it may require a lot of code. Basically, there is not much correlation between the size of a WP document on disk and the output that would go to the printer (a print to disk file).
