It does a bit, doesn't it? I've never really dug into Distiller, so I'm
going to spend some time with the PDF Creation Settings manual and see if
it sheds any light on the issue.
This is the first job I've ever had that actually created a customized
joboptions file. Always before, I picked
And that's what it was. When I replaced the copy I had with a clean
version, generated a PDF, then used the Save As Reduced size, it came out
perfectly.
Seriously, you'd think I'd be happier about solving the problem, but what a
bloody piddly thing it turned out to be to take all that time to

And, just testing it, but Adobe Acrobat was not able to find text inside a
graphic, which was a big reason why we upgraded. I'll have to look into
that, but I bet you're right, Robert. I bet that's the cause.

Shoot, you're right. Adobe finally fixed the SVG generation into PDF so
that the SVG graphics are searchable again. Or so they say, I haven't
actually tried to search for anything.

If that happened to me, I'd still want to know where the bloat was
coming from. PDFs larger than 10MB still present problems for me on

Nope. All the images are SVGs that are copied into the file (yes, I know,

Not to minimize your question, but...
With the cost of computer storage running about $0.10 per gigabyte for hard
disk or $0.50 per gigabyte for SSD, I'm not sure it's worthwhile worrying about
10 MB more or less. That's less than 1/2 cent's worth of storage
to your query because many of us
have had no need to pay attention to this issue.
