Hey Bart,

I know you can get pretty small file sizes for PDFs. My wife does work 
on TYPO3, and has a lot of experience making PDFs (she does graphic 
design) and she pointed out the TYPO3 TSref manuals are like 1.7MB, and 
they have a couple hundred pages to them, with graphics. There are a lot 
of options you can set with Acrobat, like compression, removal of image 
doubles (Remove Doubles -- how about THAT!! :), image resolution, and 
other things like that.

I have the PDF included in today's source package. I'll try running it 
through and see how small I can get it. I should get the new machine 
this week, and let you know what happens.
