I then took my final draft Word document that I intend to send out (produced on WinXP [4500kb] that produced a pdf of 140kb) and saved it as a word document in linux from OO. It came out as 3.6MB. Yeah, MB, not KB. I took that document and printed it to postscipt (2.7MB). I converted that to pdf and it came in at 2.2MB.
Can you tell me which software you used to produced the document in Windows? I would like to do some testing. The files size you are getting looks fishy to me. The OO one I expected to be larger, but 3.6 MB is insane. The one you produced from Windows XP is smaller than I expected- are you sure fonts are embedded (you can check that in the document properties in a pdf reader)?

Hi, the software I used in XP was Word 2000 from Office 2000 professional. Then I converted it to pdf with Adobe 6. As for fonts, the box marked "Use local Fonts" is checked, I don't see anything else regarding fonts in Adobe reader preferences.

Mark, Also, don't forget, in OO, you can use the "File->Export As PDF.." to tune to jpeg quality and image resolution. (You just get the defaults if you use the toolbar pdf icon to do the conversion) Additionally, on the postscript to ps2pdf method, I have had great luck setting up the HP-8550PS driver to print a postscript file and then use "ps2pdf13" to convert the file. I have been quite pleased with file size of the resulting pdfs. The ps2pdf13 uses the more recent pdf doc standards that may help your situation. Good luck! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
