Converted Word Doc to PDF and went from 700kb to 7.4mb!!! WHY!

n57602000

I am trying to send a Word Document standard 2 page text with some colour and one small picture and when i convert it to a PDF file to send it via email the size goes to a whopping 7.4mb!!

I have no idea why as a similar other document only goes to 2.4mb so i am unsure why this one goes so big!

Suggestions?

I am using Mac with Office!

I do think that primopdf is available for mac that may cut it down somewhat.

When converting it to PDF all i did was save as PDF file in the Office Word!

Does it make a difference if you use save as, PDF, then put the dot in minimum size (publishing online)?

DoPDF should work with MAC

How about sending the Word document? Anybody can read a Word document can't they? I can and I don't have Word.

I used to e-mail Word documents but the formatting sometimes got lost

Can you install a pdf printer suc a bullzip on mac, if so that may resolve the size problem.
