Hi Ben,<br><br>Thanks for your answer. So your guess is that the quality of the output is identical?<br clear="all"><br><br>Regards,<br><br>Mark Cilia Vincenti<br>

<br>
<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif">So, with no factual informaiton of my
own, I'm going to assert that the difference is compression. Since
you didn't change the version of XEP, all the pdf streams that were produced
before will still be present, but the bits that xep relies on java for
may have changed. I know java has a bunch of compression codec's
built-in, including a license for LZW compression (used in tiff files).
One or more of the compression algorithms being 'more efficient'
after you upgrade the JRE is the most likely culprit of the file size being
slightly smaller.</font>
