Does your document contain images? In the OOo2 beta 1.9.x series, when exporting as pdf you can select to reduce the resolution of images, for example if the documnet is only to be read on the screen, and also compress jpg images. >I also found that a watermark can almost double the time to upload and >download. I don´t know if the watermark is graphic or text. So either the above or below apply... pdf files can contain (embed) all in the document used typefaces, for making sure the file is shown by the reader as intended. I don´t know if OOo embeds all used typefaces in pdf, but i guess so, and thus you can reduce the pdf size significantly for small documents by using as few typefaces as possible. (IIRC rtf and doc files does not contain typefaces, so this can be a reason they are smaller, and another effect is that the reader may not show the files as you intend, but using pdf it does show correctly.) /Morgan -- Morgan Olsson, Kivik, Sweden --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
