I can now see in the output that checkboxes are bitmapped.
But--and possibly part of this problem--so are field backgrounds, even when
empty.
Look at any of the schedules with alternating white and grey rows.
These are created by setting, only for those lines, the field to opaque and

I duplicated the cash checking fields to create the cow tomato fields.
I unchecked 3d borders.
And that appears to take care of *these* pixels.

Yes, checkboxes are bitmap...
and if there are a lot of them
this explains all the bloat.

Many pages have a single checkbox. The first page, with lots of them,
actually implemented them as fields and X's. I
produced have thousands of objects (one for each word).

Perhaps you could 'replace' all the bitmaps with either graphic or text objects
when you do your pdf export. If you have lots of checkboxes for example you
could replace these with a simple x or tick. Any buttons you don't really need
to show could also go.

Just did a quick test - two cards, each with a field containing a single line
of text, the first card has two checkboxes labelled A and B, the second has two
label fields ('x A' and 'x B'). Exported both cards to PDF: card 1 - 11,100
bytes, card 2 - 3,500 bytes. If you are rendering a lot of
