It does a bit, doesn't it? I've never really dug into Distiller, so I'm
going to spend some time with the PDF Creation Settings manual and see if
it sheds any light on the issue.
This is the first job I've ever had that actually created a customized
joboptions file. Always before, I picked
And that's what it was. When I replaced the copy I had with a clean

perfectly.
Seriously, you'd think I'd be happier about solving the problem, but what a

Seems plausible. Inappropriate .joboptions settings can cause massive bloat.

FYI to all, I changed the image compression options from JPEG to off, since

And, just testing it, but Adobe Acrobat was not able to find text inside a
graphic, which was a big reason why we upgraded. I'll have to look into
that, but I bet you're right, Robert. I bet that's the cause.

Shoot, you're right. Adobe finally fixed the SVG generation into PDF so
that the SVG graphics are searchable again. Or so they say, I haven't
actually tried to search for anything.

If that happened to me, I'd still want to know where the bloat was
coming from. PDFs larger than 10MB still present problems for me on

Nope. All the images are SVGs that are copied into the file (yes, I know,
