Note that I would advise you to select the option "Searchable image" for the PDF output style. The option "Formated text & graphics" usually alters too much the layout.
Again, if you have access to Adobe Acrobat or similar, then you should be able to optimize the size of your PDFs. You can even make scanned documents look better.
I got a 50 Mo PDF from one of 500 Mo... Without much loss of quality... but that was a time- & ressource-intensive task for my computer.
Hope this helps.  |
yes I know how to do this but the point is to convert searchable pdf to such that is not just to keep its appearance because if there are some more complicated diagrams the reader may not be able to display everything....
