Anyone have any prefs for creating PDF documents that are small?  I've been 
using an Applewrite driver to a file creating a post script file than 
sending that to Linux and using ps2pdf.  It use to create small files, but 
now they are 1-5 megs for a couple of pages.

Any suggestions on getting smaller files.
