My guess would be the fonts. Taking a sample from: http://documentation.openoffice.org/ How to Setup Multiple Screens under Linux ODT - PDF I find that 2.0.3 Win2KProfessional Export to PDF creates a 364KB PDF file. [1] Using 2.0.3 Ubuntu 6.0.61 Export to PDF creates a 1007.4KB PDF file. However, when comparing the fonts in the document property settings I find the standard TrueType and Adobe fonts in the windows document. When looking at the same in the Ubuntu document I find that the fonts are substituted with NibusRomNo9L, NimbusSanL etc., fonts. I guess in order to comare properly you'd need to have the same fonts installed on both systems. [1] Saving the same document using the following (Windows) programs results in: - PDFCreator Size=92.5KB - PDF Creator w/no compression set Size=6.5MB - Adobe Acrobat 4.x Size=117KB So I think that in order to compare properly you'd need to set up with: 1) identical fonts, and 2) ensure compression settings are the same. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
