Although I haven't done the proper tests I suspect that the relative size of the PDF file when sending images rather depends on the size of the image which is converted. My experience has been that the PDF is greater. In a test done here now straight conversion of aJPEG of 29kB to a PDF (via Acrobat) yielded a file of 43kB. Some document packages reduce the images in size or resolution when images are stored in them and in such cases you might see a reduction in overall file size upon conversion. However that doesn't mean that you have the sme quality of image in the converted result... Hmmm, need to be careful... Patrick -
