Is the Unicode/DBCS output from InterForm larger than normal output?

Is the Unicode/DBCS output from InterForm larger than normal output?

No. The Unicode output of InterForm only contains the minimum of data required so a description/layout of the actual characters is only included for the characters used in the specific document, form, or report. This means, that the Unicode output from InterForm often is smaller compared to a non-Unicode document, form, or report.
