Thanks for your input , will read up more on the programs operation. Was
thinking that Distiller does take the process and compress the files. In so
doing give a smaller file. The facts that make me think the program is not
set up write and working properly is the size of PDF file sent by others.
These files are very small considering the number of pages sent. As an
example of this ,"Print Shop Pro 6.0",. Operating instructions. The file
size is 2.49 Meg. It has 248 Pages.......Files with pictures....
