Good Afternoon,

I created a basic inventory system app that allows me to log a few fields (name, part #, location, etc.).  One of these fields is a file attachment field for uploading a picture of the item.

I am trying to download the report (197 records each with a photo) but I am unable to download or print the report since it is such a large file (1,686,015 KB).  Is there a way to use some field to compress the image so that my report is not so large when trying to download as a PDF or print?

Thank you,

Have you tried reducing the dimensions of the picture to make a smaller thumbnail size?

You really need two images.   A full picture for viewing the record and a thumbnail that is much smaller to put into reports and documents.   There are a number of services that can do this for you.
