It might save a preprocessing step. We preprocess with -dProcessDSCComments=false otherwise PDFs generated by external programs (OpenOffice, I'm looking at you) in combination with particular fonts might wreak havoc with the document they are included into. I don't know which downsides this might have, though. In our workflow this leads to more predictable results. Maybe someone with more insight of the PDF internals could judge if it makes sense to add this option. It looks like the presets are not hard-coded. What is the interface to change the presets (screen, ebook, prepress)?

Of course I cannot guarantee that the pdf gets stripped, but at least

Re: [NTG-context] Was: Opening external documents ... -> Can ConTeXt reduce size of images?
Thanks Wolfgang -
I believed that the question was easy enough as is, but that was of course
short sighted.
The problem I described does not arise when one just typesets the file,
everything is good.
What I did was to reduce its file size using OS X's preview. This has
apparently been "improved"
so that it changes the behavior wrt external links.
In case somebody wants to try:
Typeset
\setupinteraction[page=yes,state=start]
\starttext
\goto{click}[program(test.tex)]
\stoptext
Open test.pdf with Acrobat. Clicking on "click" opens test.tex with your
designated TeX editor.
Close file in Acrobat.
Open test.pdf in Preview (OS 10.8, I am sure it behaved differently in earlier
versions).
Export with "reduce file size" as option checked
Open exported file in Acrobat.
Clicking on "click" will try to access the absolute file path of the previously
relative link. In the best case,
the finder will point to that file (instead of opening it). In the worst case,
it will not be found.
So, this clearly is not a ConTeXt problem. But it causes me major headaches.
In my workflow, I have dozens of images
that I prepare with Adobe Illustrator and save as pdf files that are still
editable with Illustrator, i.e. that include another copy of the
file with layers etc. In other words, my pdf images are about 10 times as big
as they need to be. I usually just reduce the file size with preview.
As this seems to be erroneous now, I am wondering:
Is there an option in \externalfigure that will strip everything redundant from
a pdf file?
Thanks again,
Matthias
