This is probably more a function of Distiller settings.
Just for laughs, I took the 22Mb source document
I most recently completed and made test PDFs with
Distiller set at its default "smallest" and "press"
settings and the PDF sizes were 1.3Mb and 8Mb
respectively. Then I used the lossless test settings
I had previously suggested to Kevin and got a
130Mb PDF. It all comes down to whether you're
creating a file for online viewing, maximum quality
printing or somewhere in between. There is no one
setting that will produce optimum results for both
purposes.

214 MB for a 28-page booklet??? Yikes! That wouldn't be acceptable for
us because we post our PDFs on our web site. Even 22 MB would be too
large. I'm glad that I know this. It will make me avoid OOo if I can
(as
will not knowing what that small letter O stands for! [shudder]).
