<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Verdana">If these files
started off as XML or structured files, and the others didn't,
there could definitely be some extra cruft in there. You
probably checked this already, but are these files still structured?<br>
<br>
I haven't noticed any significant size difference in PDFs from
XML from FM11 to FM12. I just did a quick test of a single page
.. when saved to PDF from FM11 it's 63KB and from FM12 it's 69
KB .. over 100 pages that might be a difference of 60KB. Not a
big difference from my perspective.<br>
<br>
Doing a similar test with an unstructured file, the FM11 PDF is
34 KB and the FM12 PDF is 40KB.<br>
<br>
The structured/XML sourced file actually has less content than
the unstructured file, and the resulting PDF is larger .. so
it's possible that your PDFs that come from XML may be larger.
And there does seem to be an increase in size (from both
structured and unstructured) in PDFs from FM11 to FM12.<br>
<br>
You might check to see if your files are still structured ..
removing the structure (if that's the intent) might reduce the
file size. Also, since these files came through a different
path, they may have additional content/graphics/?? on reference
pages which could increase the file size.<br>

<div>After a bit of testing, the increase seems to be linked to
3 files that were created using DITAFMx from a batch of xml
files that were generated by script from an Excel workbook.
Interestingly, these files have always been part of the
document (and inserted in the same way), so I'm not sure why
there's a sudden file size increase.<br>
<br>
</div>
I'll be regenerating these files again soon, so I'll see if the
increase continues. It's still odd.<br>

<div>The PDF has to be posted as a
shared review on a cloud web storage
site. There's a size limit to what
you can upload. My company is using
corporate GMAIL and I have a 30Gb
limit on storage, and for now I have
to attach a shared review enabled
PDF to an email to allow reviewers
to join the review*. Admittedly,
this one file isn't going to break
either of those limits, but it's not
something I can keep doing for a
long period of time. Plus the sudden
increase in size worries me. If
there's a problem with the files, I
need to find it before things get
hosed (and yes, I did run all the
files through a MIF wash).<br

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.<br
