Just a thought. Powerpoint presentations can seem quite small if you only look at the .ppt file. This file doesn't have the OLE graphic files embedded. Try using the PowerPoint "Pack and Go" function (in the File menu) to get a truer estimate of the presentation's file size. "Pack and Go" will create a bundle that includes ALL of the files used in the .ppt file.

Acrobat 5.05
Using the PDF Maker icon.
It appears to be using the customized joboption file which I have modified so all graphics above 72dpi are set to 72dpi.
Can't think of anything else.
Will continue to play.
