I have done a lot of googling, searched the OO.o archives and knowledge

- let alone a solution. So, if someone has a link to info please point
me in the right direction ...
Scenario:
A document, containing ONLY text of around 20-50k typically blows out to
300-600k when exported as pdf in OO.o 2.0.4.17 OpenSuse version. How can
I overcome this?
My efforts do far:
1/ I can do the export manually and set the compression of images and so
on, but these files have no images so that is not the issue.
2/ I can't see any option to embed (or not) fonts and I know this can
make a big difference
3/ I can post-process the resulting pdf file using ghostscript and the
file comes down to very close to the original OO.o file size - sometimes
less depending on the document(s), but I don't want to have to do this
two-step technique
Any clues for the clueless.

I have a different OS and a different OOo version than you do, but FWIW,
I don't see this behavior.
I'm using Windows XP, with OOo 2.2.
I first created an extremely simple text document (a single word), saved
it as an ODT file, then exported it as a pdf file. The ODT file was 7 KB
and the pdf was 17 KB. A bit larger than the ODT, but nowhere near the
10X inflation that you report.
Then I opened an existing text-only document that was 53 KB. I exported
it as a pdf, and the resulting pdf was only 55 KB, virtually no
inflation at all.
I'm wondering if you can upgrade to OOo 2.2 to see if you see any
different performance.
