Hi Pavel, You bring up an excellent point. In this particular case, my graphics are usually made in Inkscape anyway, so unless Inkscape changes one heck of a lot, there should be no problem. Postscript is huge, and my experience is that it makes the finished PDF huge too. I'll see whether including an SVG results in a materially different result, visually or byteswise, than a PDF.
