Re: PDF size

[Mats Bengtsson]

What platform do you use, Windows, Mac or some Linux distribution?

I hope you have seen the related emails on the mailing list.

For the fonts, check File->Document Properties and click on the Fonts 
tab to see a list of the fonts. If all fonts are listed
as Type 1, then they are not bitmapped, but if any font is
listed as Type 3 then it is bitmapped.
