I would like to omit those graphics in order to make a smaller file to submit to some proof-readers. I have tried both: "\setupexternalfigures[option=empty]" and "texexex --fast". Both give the same result: the graphics are replaced by black rectangles, but the size of the pdf file is the same as the original version which included the graphics. (Very large). Oddly enough, the pdfimages utility will not extract any images from the "black rectangles" version, leading me to think the graphics are not really in the pdf file, but I don't know what would be taking up the same amount of space.
