Thanks to everyone who replied about reducing the size of OSX PDFs.
Using the initial 2.6Mb Word document I've had the following results:
PDF using print under OSX : 5.2Mb
Put PDF through PdfCompress: 728Kb
Put PDF through PDFshrink: 700Kb (screen quality)
Put PDF through ColorSync: 1.3Mb
As a result I've purchased PDFshrink - it looks just fine and gives a
choice of compression.
I do have an old (OS9) version of Acrobat Distiller, but it failed to
open the file, so I couldn't test that.
Cheers,
Kaye
