Bypassing the 5Mb limit for PDFs on Android

[Weaksafety]

Hi,

I'm trying to print some cards of my stack to a pdf, which is basically an illustrated book (lots of images on lots of pages).

The aim is to send via email a custom pdf that only has the pages that the user selects on the mobile app.

There's a problem: Android Mail only supports attachments up to 5mb, and I fear this limit will almost always be surpassed if the user selects more than a few pages.

Is there any kind of workaround to this?


Thanks a million!

I just tried zipping a pdf but it looks like pdf compression is already there so it didn't help.
You can try it on a liveCode created pdf maybe the compression isn't already included.

So he's obviously using Livecode for this

Oh I see, "open printing to pdf" isn't supported on Android.

Oh. I hadn't tried to deploy the app to my tablet yet, I see from the dictionary that printing to pdf is indeed not possible from android.

It appears that Quartam PDF Library can indeed support Android, I'll give it a try - However even if that works, is there any smart way to get around the limit? Possibly a server application that composes and sends the pdf?
