You are probably missing a lot, since there isn't anything that would imply that one method would necessarily bloat over the other - given proper and complete implementation. Certainly, a quick & dirty implementation w/o consideration for all potential "bloat factors" would lead to that - but you have a higher chance of that happening with the Xobject model than other models. >Do you have any suggestions as to how to fix the program I presented in >my first message?

It needs to be added to the Resources dictionary of the page - but aren't there methods for that. I still don't understand why the infrastructure of podofoimpose won't work for you. Or why it couldn't be modified to work?
