Also - isn't there some kind of compression options that exist when creating PDF files? Maybe the chopped up one didn't have the compression set. OR - maybe I am way off base...

Size is usually driven by fonts being embedded...it's best to use native fonts, i.e., Time Roman, Arial, to keep PDF files small.

If you use a font, "Matt's Grunge" then that binary data has to be embedded in every PDF that uses the font, even if only one character uses that typeface.

While trying to help someone get around the Outlook size limit we have
in place, I got the bright idea to chuck up the really big file into
smaller ones by printing to the CutePDF driver... in this case, take
the 70 page original, open in Reader and do pages 1-25, 26-50,
51-70...

My assumption was that the pieces would be more or less 1/3 the size
of the original, but as it turns out they are nearly as big, and in
some cases BIGGER, than the original.

I tried fooling around with some print options in Adobe but nothing
seemed to do the trick...

This makes no sense....
