FM12: PDF file size exploding

[Craig, Alison]

Download size is certainly a consideration for my PDFs - a few of our customers use old-fashioned 300-1200 baud modems in very isolated areas (upper Amazon, rural Vietnam, etc).

Not to minimize your question, but...

With the cost of computer storage running about $0.10 per gigabyte for hard disk or $0.50 per gigabyte for SSD, I'm not sure it's worthwhile worrying about 10 MB more or less. That's less than 1/2 cent's worth of storage space. Unless you know your documents are going to be posted on a website where a significant number of users do not have anything resembling broadband access, spending more than a few seconds worrying about 10 MB in file size does not yield a good return on investment.

Has anyone had an issue with the size of a generated PDF increasing dramatically after moving a book from FM10 to FM12 (or any earlier version of FM to FM12)?

I've got a book that's gone from under 3M to over 12M, and that's AFTER running the Save as Reduced Size.
Is this a bug, have I not set something up in either FM12 or Acrobat 10 correctly, or is there a solution?
Thanks,
