Thank you for the explanation.
I have dozens of single-page blank forms as pdf files that vary in size from
8kB to 356 kB. The text density does vary some, but not by a factor of 40,
so I'm trying to figure out the reason. Perhaps some of them have text
embedded as images: is there a way to tell if they do? And if they do, how
large those embedded images are? (I could probably re-create them,
replacing any such sections with vector text).
I'm interested in this because we print thousands of pages per day from a
few hundred blank forms per day, and the printer bogs down and even "stalls"
for 6 - 8 s on pdfs bigger than 1 MB.
