Just did a quick test - two cards, each with a field containing a single line
of text, the first card has two checkboxes labelled A and B, the second has two
label fields ('x A' and 'x B'). Exported both cards to PDF: card 1 - 11,100

Perhaps you could 'replace' all the bitmaps with either graphic or text objects
when you do your pdf export. If you have lots of checkboxes for example you
could replace these with a simple x or tick. Any buttons you don't really need

that's really odd, as I thought Postscript was designed to be frugal - the
beginnings of desktop publishing used machines with 128k of RAM!
( in the case if there is a bitmap present, all bets are off, because the
size will explode trying to describe an image.)
