I often do `ps2pdf downloaded.pdf test.pdf', yes, input is PDF, not PostScript, to see if test.pdf comes out smaller than downloaded.pdf if I'm intending to keep it. Sometimes the savings are large. (With older Ghostscripts it was wise to visually check test.pdf a little as it could have obvious errors but that's not been a problem of late.) I wonder if I'm rastering the fonts when doing this. Cheers, Ralph.
