RE: FM12: PDF file size exploding
Don't remove "Links, actions and javascripts" and the bookmarks will be retained. Unfortunately, although it can reduce file size by up to 70% in my experience, sometimes the reduction is minimal.

I tried removing everything but the metadata (which was only the doc title), but it only trimmed about 2Mb off and took the bookmarks with it.

RE: My work-flow for dealing with backups
Yup, the synced desktop/laptop/online copies is exactly what I want. Dropbox just increased the space to 1TB for the paid version, which is more than enough for my active files. Didn't mention that I also use it to transfer files to others. And can access it from my phone and tablet. More than worth the $100 a year.

RE: My work-flow for dealing with backups
I have stopped saving multiple backups on my system and instead keep all active work in a Dropbox folder. Active files are automatically backed up online and to my laptop, and all saved versions of a file are available for 30 days from the Dropbox site. No more clutter!

Subject: TCS 5 no box version sold
I keep all downloaded software and updates on a separate hard drive in my desktop system and a backup on an external hard drive that I can also use with my laptop. More convenient and faster to load than a DVD. Actually I have 3 drives in my desktop system -- a 250GB SSD that holds my OS and software, a 1TB hard drive that holds active work files, and a 3TB hard drive that holds my photos, work archive, and software archive. The "laptop" doesn't have a DVD drive so using an external hard drive makes more sense anyway (Acer V5-171, really a cross between laptop, netbook and ultrabook -- 11.6" screen, i5 processor, 8GB RAM, replaceable 500GB hard drive, removable battery).

RE: Graphics Average Weight
A good way to reduce PDF file size without harming graphics resolution is Document > Examine Document, which finds a bunch of things that can be removed from the document (hidden text, deleted or cropped content, etc.). It can also remove metadata and bookmarks if you don't want them, and even if you uncheck all items and click Remove it still shrinks the file substantially.

Weird PDF problem
I am having a strange problem with PDF files with EPS graphics that contain the Arial font. When you look at the graphics in the PDF at normal size, in all instances the letter "l" appears much wider than the rest of the letters so the text looks very odd. If you start zooming in, by 400% they only look slightly heavier and by 800% they look normal. There's no problem with printed pages, so I assume it's only a display problem. And If I change the font the problem disappears (unfortunately I have a book with about 40 complicated graphics so changing fonts is not a viable option). I verified the problem in Acrobat 7 Professional and Acrobat Reader 7 on my computer and using Reader 7 on another system. On a third system with Reader 5 the text appeared OK although not as clear, but when I installed Reader 7 it too showed the same problem. And it doesn't matter how the PDF files are generated -- FrameMaker, PageMaker, save as PDF, print to Adobe PDF, etc. and whether text is saved as text or curves in the EPS file when exporting from Corel Draw. All systems are running Windows XP SP2 and have different graphics cards. Any ideas?
