<P><FONT face=Verdana size=2>I have a Frame file <SPAN

class=296581809-01122005>graphics </SPAN><SPAN class=296581809-01122005>and
Illustrator files</SPAN>. One <SPAN class=296581809-01122005>of these
graphics </SPAN>in particular causes tremendous bloat.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Th<SPAN class=296581809-01122005>at</SPAN>
AI <SPAN class=296581809-01122005>(Illustrator) </SPAN>file weighs in at
1.9 MB. The PDF of the same file is a svelte 101 KB. If I <SPAN
class=296581809-01122005>import </SPAN>either the Illustrator file or the
PDF<SPAN class=296581809-01122005>'d Illustrator file </SPAN>and Save As PDF
(standard job option at a measly 600 dpi<SPAN class=296581809-01122005> or even
at 1200 dpi</SPAN>) the file balloons out to 11 MB.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face=Verdana size=2>If I produce a <SPAN

class=296581809-01122005>(from Frame) </SPAN>of the one page<SPAN
class=296581809-01122005> containing the graphic</SPAN>, the results are the
same. The postscript file is 1.3 MB, which in turn <SPAN
class=296581809-01122005>distills into </SPAN>a 12 MB PDF. Bizarre.</FONT></P>
<P><SPAN class=296581809-01122005><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Any ideas on what to
