[xep-support] PDF file-size optimizations

[Jez Brewster]

Hello
 
I'm using the trial version of XEP to generate a PDF document, a version of which we previously created using the Miramo tool.  The purpose of this exercise was to prove to ourselves that XEP can be used to quickly generate a fairly complex PDF (this we need to do before embarking on a new project that will use XEP rather than Miramo).
 
I am really impressed with the product.  
 
The only question I have is:
 
Are there any PDF file-size optimization "tweaks" of which I should be aware?  I've used the trial version and created a PDF with our corporate font "Arial" embedded in the document AND the "subset" attribute for the font set to "true".  However, the PDF generated is 40% larger than the version created with Miramo (180KB vs 125KB), which also embedded the font.
 
I admit that this might be due to something that I have implemented incorrectly.  However, any advice that you have would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank
