Recent .dll file size increased ten fold

[Gabe Ellett]

I recently upgraded from 16.2.0.41 to 16.3.0.21 and found that the syncfusion.pdfviewer.windows.dll went from 1.8MB to 19MB

Many of my users tend to download from remote locations with sketchy internet so I like to keep updates as small as possible.    A ten fold increase in file size in a minor version change seems like something may be askew.

Am I referencing the wrong DLL, something changed, or is the file size change legit?

Hi Gabe, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion, 

 

From our latest essential studio version 16.3.0.21, we have embedded our Pdfium.dll into PdfViewerControl to avoid referring the Pdfium.dll from the Pdfium folder. Due to this reason the file size is increased.  

 

Use of Pdfium rendering engine.
PDF viewer control provides a robust rendering of PDF documents using the Pdfium rendering engine. It can now render complex shapes, images, and text without flaws. 

 

Regards, 

Karthik.

OK, thanks for the explanation, makes sense.
