DocumentAssembler generates large file #202

Closed dkitchen closed 5 years ago

dkitchen commented 6 years ago

The size of the Assembled Document is around the same size as the template (word doc) from which it was produced. In my current case, this is a problem, because my word doc template is 27 megs, but has numerous conditionals (especially around large images I need to hide/show based on data).

After the doc is assembled, I expect the assembled file to only be around 5 megs. Testing this assertion, I can open the 27 meg assembled document into MS Word, make a small change (add a space for example), save it, and now the saved file is only around 5 megs. This can make a huge difference in user experience, for example, when my users attempt to use my generated document as attachments in mail systems with attachment size limits.
