Hi team,

Today, the PDF export has been running for 1 hour. It usually takes 30-40mins. Please help check and resolve this situation.

Hello @Dung_H_Nguyen,

The issue has been resolved. It was a technical glitch. The PDF is rebuilding at this moment.

Thank you for reporting this - we’ll be working on eliminating such glitches.

Thanks for reporting this!

Hi Zed, the size of the PDF is also supper big. above 100MB. When I use another tool to compress it, the size reduce 90%. Could we also enhance this feature?

Hello @ThuongLe,

Indeed the size of the PDF is big since we do not compress the PDF or modify the quality at all - to keep your images (specially screenshots) readable.

I’ve tried compressing a PDF generated by DeveloperHub using online compressors and other tools, at normal compression, and I’ve seen 70% reduction in file size - however many screenshots were no longer legible. Image quality really deteriorated.

We’ve implemented now light compression, which barely reduces image quality. The reduction in size could be somewhere between 30% to 60% in our tests, but keeps the images readable.

Note that we’ve reverted this feature as the trade off between added processing time vs achieved compression levels is not justifiable. We’ll let you know when this changes.
