What the heck. I'll fourth it. Has anyone done a study to see what the
most efficient way to produce pdf is? (I.e. not just found A way to do it,
but tried lots of them to see which gives the smallest file size, etc.) My
way is to export to tex and then use pdflatex, converting any graphics with
ps2pdf first. I've seen several other ways described. Any ideas on how to
evaluate them?
