As I haven't converted one of my systems to dependency based boot yet,
there still has to be some way to keep the old way. No idea why there

Hi,
Someone posted (to this list) a simple command line for sleeping the
system.
Sleeping, to me, is separate from hibernate or suspend which tries and
save the state of the machine to disk or ram. This was simply setting
the machine to low power state.

What you have is some sort of image format inside a PDF "container". It
is probably already compressed, which is why Zip had little effect on
it. You need to extract the image, use image software to shrink it, and
put it back in a PDF container.
