However, Mark's file can do without that.
I wasn't too sure, the OP just said newsletter which could be printed or electronic. I can certainly see where hyperlinks and TOC will come in handy, if it is electronic.
The problem is, I have no real idea why OOo PDF files are so large. There is the font issue, yes, and some embedded fonts are too big,
No, all embedded font sets are too big- OOo emebeds the whole charset instead of the subset needed.
but I don't know if that is all that is happening.
Neither do I.
Funnily, tuning for 150 DPI results in a larger file than tuning for 300 DPI.
Strange indeed.
That's the best I can get with OOo writer using "Times" font, although OOo insists on converting to "NimbusRomNo9L" instead. ... Now, why on earth does it insist on using NimbusRomNo9L* instead of the selected "Times"! I don't understand. :-/
This is because the Times typeface is mapped to Nimbus Roman in Ghostscript's font.map file: ,---- | karnak@MagnumOpus:/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts> cat font.map | grep Times | | Times-Bold n021004l | Times-BoldItalic n021024l | Times-Italic n021023l | Times-Roman n021003l `---- ,---- | karnak@MagnumOpus:/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts> head -n 5 n021003l.afm | StartFontMetrics 2.0 | Comment Generated by pfaedit | Comment Creation Date: Tue Dec 31 16:49:50 2002 | FontName NimbusRomNo9L-Regu | FullName Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular `---- Nimbus Roman is a cloned Times typeface and is part of the 35 fonts donated by URW to replace the common fonts found with Postscript printers.
