As it stands now, I think that I will have to stick with windows for this task unless someone has a brainstorm and thinks of a way to make these linux pdf files smaller.

Why are you using a Wordprocessor for page layout any way? You might consider switching over to using Scribus:

http://www.scribus.net/

instead (a properly DTP program included in OpenSUSE, I presume you don't want to learn LaTeX which is the other alternative). Scribus producing much better pdf than OOo. Like we have discussed before there are problems with OOo which produces large file size.

Hi, I have tried this for a couple of months now, and if I use Open Office, Scribus or Microsoft Pubisher, the files come out twice as large when I convert them to PDF as when I use Microsoft Word and convert to PDF with Adobe. It makes them too large for the purposes that I have described previously with the dialup users.
