Hi,

We were asked to turn a PC-using friend's MSoft Word docs into PDFs to make them smaller (she needs to email them to multiple recipients). However, the PDF created by printing under OSX (10.2.8) is much larger (5.2Mb) than the original Word document (2.6Mb).

We tried the same file on our other Mac (OS10.3.3) and produced a slightly smaller file (5.1Mb).

Does anyone know if this is standard for PDFs created in this way, and if Acrobat produces smaller PDFs than those created under OSX?

Cheers,
Kaye and Geoff
