I am generating a rather large (2 sided 11" x 17") document. It contains a number of tables, barcharts, etc. What I don't understand is why does the created .PDF get larger when I turn compression on than when it is off? The size of the file goes from 180K to 210K when I turn compression on. Thanks in advance. Regards, Larry Bates email: lbates@sycononline.com
