I thought it would be a good idea to keep a record of some useful things for Linux and OS X machines.
OS X
- Getting small PDF files
By default, OS X produces the largest PDF files I've every seen. There are all sorts of ways you can get around this, but the best I've come across is the following:
- ) Select: file::print
- ) From Copies & Pages select: ColorSync
- ) From Quartz Filter select: Reduce File Size
- ) From PDF select: Save as PDF
This can reduce the size of the PDF by a factor of 10. Images are slightly reduced in quality, but not severely.
Of course, LaTeX does the same without any trouble, so perhaps we should just use LaTeX!--alston 15:21, 11 December 2007 (GMT)
