Mathematica 6.0.0 compresses everything except for raster images (which can be quite large). Mathematica 6.0.1 also compresses raster images, so the file size should be much smaller if your notebook contains many rasters. > I looked around for an option in Mathematica so that it would save the > PDF's in compressed form and with only the required fonts embedded, > but have not found one. PDF export obeys the DataCompression option (see Option Inspector), which is set to True by default. Rob Wolfram Research
