I hope someone out there has a "quick fix" for me.

I've been using FrameMaker and Acrobat for years for our user and reference
guides. Depending on the particular book, I can always expect the Acrobat
file size to be about 2 to 10 MB.

Recently we've made a decision to save our screen shot files in JPG format,
rather than BMP, to make them more HTML-compatible. I think we've kept all
our other printer driver and Distiller settings the same (although we may
have done some inadvertent fiddling).

All of a sudden, our Acrobat file sizes are enormous - in the area of 40 -
50 MB. My first thought was that the problem was related to the JPGs, but
those files are much smaller than their BMP counterparts, so that doesn't
make sense.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
