I have a document of 97 MB created in 1.3.5 RC3 on Jaunty x86_64. The document is 132 pages. There are lots of PS images, but no bitmaps.
I exported to PDF embedding all nine fonts used in the document. The resulting PDF was 207 MB. I tried printing just two pages from Adobe Reader 9.1/Linux and from Okular, but I killed both after waiting 20 minutes for output. Also, it took nearly ten minutes for either program to open the file. Subseqently I exported to PDF and converted all nine fonts to outlines. The resulting PDF is 203 MB. And I get the same results opening the file and trying to print. I can print directly from Scribus more effectively - only ten minutes to print two pages. But even that is hopelessly slow. Can someone suggest PDF export options that will result in a file that I can print?
