Scribus 1.2, SuSE 9.1 Pro I am in the process of creating some PDF documents of several series of disparate, but themed, graphics files. I am unable to achieve anything resembling reasonable PDF output file size, however. In one case, I have somewhat less than one page of text (two fonts, embedded) and approximately 12 pages of assorted graphics files. Within my filesystem, the combined size of all the graphics is about four MB of [mostly] reduced-color-palatte GIF files. The output PDF, however, is nearly 20MB! (8.0 x 10.5 pages, 300dpi, reduce images to 300dpi, embed two fonts, Acrobat 5.0, generate thumbs, include bookmarks, format for printer)
The only thing that immediately comes to mind, concerning how to reduce file size is to reduce the resolution, which I am loathe to do. Can anyone toss me some pointers? Incidentally, the first four of the PDFs are available at http://homepage.mac.com/charlesreynolds/werldwerks/models/index.html -- __ Faster than a speeding slug! I'm Paraplegic Racehorse.
