I've been in the habit of creating PDFs of .odt files using LibreOffice. |
| 2 |
Today somewhere, I was reminded of 'ps2pdf', which I'd never used before. |
| 3 |
The result is these 4 files : |

Both PDFs seem the same when opened with Xpdf or Okular, |
| 11 |
but the difference in sizes is striking : |
| 12 |
the PDF created with LO direct export is 5 times |
| 13 |
the size of the PDF created with a test run of Ps2pdf ; |
| 14 |
the .ps file created with LO & then used for the latter is even bigger. |

Can anyone explain what is going on ? |
