Subject: Minimum file length.
Date: Sat, 3 May 2008 07:50:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200805030750.06124.john@wexfordpress.com> (raw)
I am writing an e-book where pdf file length is an issue. For the
minimal "Hello world" file I get the following lengths:
tex+dvips+ps2pdf 2820
pdftex 5630
texexec 22,173
The only thing I added to the last test was the \starttext and
\stoptext tags. The dvips etc. test defaulted to pdf 1.2,
the other two to pdf 1.4. I don't doubt that with more text the counts
would be more similar. Still the fourfold increase between the second
test and the third is a stunner. The e-book must be limited to 2 megs
per the publisher.
Just fyi
