RE: Imported PDF bloat

If your drawings are very complex, you could try saving them as black
and white or grayscale bitmaps (with a fairly high resolution).

In this case, it's too much trouble making EPS for each PDF file.
In any case, a simple one-page test showed that the final PDF size
doesn't change much if I use an EPS. It seems to be the complexity
of the drawings that causes the large final filesize, and it shouldn't
be affected much (if at all) by saving to EPS.

Thanks anyway!
