Hello Tom,

sorry, maybe I wasn't so precise. My problem isn't a file size - my problem is 
a printing Document size. When it's exported in PDF, the printing result is a 
little bit reduced than the one printed directly from LO. Is there any way to 
maintain the exact dimensons for the same printing result?

Hi :)
Do you do 

File - "Export to Pdf"?

If so then in the dialogue-box, see the right-hand side?  See underneath 
"lossless compression" there is an option for "Jpeg compression"?  You can set 
the percentage for whatever you want.  Also you can further reduce the images 
from 300Dpi to something much lower.  200 is fairly normal.  Jpeg compression 
suffers from all the usual problems of jpg such as speckling, whirls around 
sharp edges and all that but most people don't notice that nowadays.  

A better way to get documents smaller is to make a copy of the .odt and change 
the file-ending from .odt to .zip and then open it.  Some archive managers 
allow you to right-click on the odt and "open with" the archive manager without 
having to change the file-ending.  Look for items that seem heavier than the 
rest.  Usually i find 1 or 2 images are excessively 'heavy' (large), 
particularly logos or photos.  These can usually be edited in Gimp or PhotoShop 
or something.  Gimp is OpenSource and free so it's my favourite.  Scale or crop 
images, despeckle, generally clean them up and you will find they take up much 
less space.  Then you just have to replace the old heavy ones with the nicer 
new ones.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,

I have a small problem. When I'm exporting PDF and then I try to print it, it 
results with small reduction of document's dimensions in comparison with result 
obtained by printing directly from LO.
My question is: Is there any way to have the size of PDF Document exactly as 
the original LO Document (margins, characters,..) without any size reduction?

Thank you,

Tom
