I can't see any such option either, it asks for things like lossless
compression
and such. Since I started using OOo2 I have never used the export to pdf
option
because of the ridiculus output size usually, I print to postscript and then
run
ps2pdf, then I get a reasonable size.
About this to include fonts I agree when it concerns more unusual fonts, but
standard fonts like Times-Roman, Helvetica, Courier etc I have hard to see
the usage for, and I have hard to understand that a couple of fonts would
take a couple of 100 Kbytes. One example, I just exported a simple 2 page
document with standard settings, containing two fonts and two small icons.
export pdf gives 244338 bytes
postcript print gives 431774 bytes
ps2pdf on printed postscript file 47057 bytes
pdf2ps on exported pdf 1048314 bytes
compressing (gzip) the ps2pdf file 42962 bytes
compressing the postcript pr fil 281536 bytes
compressing exported pdf 244338 bytes (no change)
This seems to imply that there is a lot of incompressable but redundant
information in the exported pdf file.
I have hard to see that this would not be considered a bug.
For some collegue who still uses OO 1.4 and runs export to pdf
frequently I recommend them to wait until this is resolved, or
alternatively use adobes pdf printer (included in the professional only).
The size I get from postscript printed and ps2pdf converted is slightly
bigger pdf files from OOo2, but just slightly more than 20 % or so,
i.e. a few KB, but not hundreds of K.
