Half the pages are tiff screenshots. The PDFs are verrry large. Is there a way I can make them smaller? I think I read in this list of a 3rd party software to do this, but I can't find the reference. I have tried saving the PDF as postscript and redistilling it, but it came out even larger. Thanks in advance. Tracy Lundy
