That sounds like a fairly small file, actually: 1000K = 1 Meg. I've distilled much bigger files with no problems. Is the number correct? If it truly is a large file, this suggests that there are graphics you're forgetting, since Word is reasonably efficient in creating and managing tables.


Geoff,

I looked at Sarah's file and the PDF had a 700K cross-reference table that entirely accounts for the difference between her PDF and the one I created from the same file. I surmised that she has a conversion setting screwed up somewhere, and she is going to investigate that.
