Well, we get a large size reduction even if we don't use pdfsizeopt! Using this program is an extra bonus but not mandatory. And you are right, I hope that Péter fixes the reported issues, provided someone is going to add them to the bug tracker (which hasn't happened yet, looking at https://code.google.com/p/pdfsizeopt/issues/list).
The hyperlink issue is not related to the --bigpdf option (since it is a bug in ghostscript), so I don't think that this is a showstopper. Regarding your b) issue: I fully agree. Contacting Péter might be very helpful. Nevertheless, this takes time. Given that it should be straightforward to make --bigpdf a no-op in case it is no longer useful, I still vote for incorporating the patch. https://codereview.appspot.com/194090043/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
