I found a way to reduce the size of the PDF by not using PDF-1A. Thank
you for looking at this.

While not using PDF-1A may reduce the size because fonts etc. are not
embedded in the PDF we lose the control over the appearance of the PDF
on the user side.

The problem with PDF/A-1A is that it does not allow transparencies and
converts them to a graphic. For the Getting Started Guide, this
results in a 3 page ToC graphic, as well as changes to many of the
graphics used. If we are going to loose control anyway, I would rather
do it and gain smaller file size right now.

You are right regarding transparency... I didn't think of that.

But then we should at least embed the used font(s).


However, this brings up the question is it time to explore other means
of creating the PDF than what we have today? Have we ever looked at
PDFBox?

Depending on your OS you could also test one of these PDF "printer". I
often use PDF24 on Windows...

What I have done for the PDF is to delete the TOC from the ODT and create the PDF\A-1a and export  the bookmarks as active links. It is still a bit larger than I would like, but it does embed the fonts as well give the user usable TOC.

Keith
