Hi Bill,
pages imports the pictures and maintains the file size of the original
picture's document. In other words if you import a 3Mb picture file
into the pages document it still retains the original document size
even if you physically resize the picture to 2 cm x 2 cm thumbnail.
Now if you are using a version prior to Pages '09 you can look at the
contents of your Pages document by right clicking and ask to show
package content. You will then see which graphics are excessively obese.
Pages '09 has lost this attribute but you can still export it
backwards to Pages '08 and view the content's sizes and cull the
offenders.
Regards,
Eugene

I wonder if anyone has experience with PAGES in iWork?
I am at the hair pulling stage............
Working from an empty template except for a masthead and other
common details (start size about 1MB) I have a 30 page document
that comes out at 7MB. I have checked every picture and graphic and
I cannot account for that size. The text should not account for too
much size?
I make a PDF by the export function in either Best, Better or Good
modes and end up with 5.6MB. I open in Acrobat 8 Pro, re-save and
can shave off a bit, but not enough. Note that Acrobat will NOT
open from Pages - you get a Macintosh error msg
Can any one help? I have used the template before and achieve a 2
- 3MB PDF end result.
