Howdy,

The PDF option has produced some ideas but not significant.

Perhaps there is a different approach.

The need was to reduce the size of a PC Word document.
for transmitting via email.

Does anybody have any better approach than the one

suggested by         EDWARD ARROWSMITH

using yousendit . Good ifdea but I can't see yet how they pay there way .

Partly answering my own mail, there is a second website using the same technique.

You upload your file to Dropload or YouSendIt , they send an email address to the required party
and it is available for download.

Multiple downloads  ?????  I don't know yet.

Hi,

We were asked to turn a PC-using friend's MSoft Word docs into PDFs to make them smaller (she needs to email them to multiple recipients). However, the PDF created by printing under OSX (10.2.8) is much larger (5.2Mb) than the original Word document (2.6Mb).

We tried the same file on our other Mac (OS10.3.3) and produced a slightly smaller file (5.1Mb).

Does anyone know if this is standard for PDFs created in this way, and if Acrobat produces smaller PDFs than those created under OSX?

Cheers,
Kaye and Geoff
