Wow, that's odd. I've found that SVG -> PDF -> MkIV results in huge
document bloat, whereas SVG -> EPS -> MkIV works much better. (Using
Inkscape for both SVG conversions.)
But I just experimentally preconverted all my PNGs to PDF using
ImageMagick, and my document dropped from 411k to 98k. The PNGs had
previously been optimized with pngnq, so they were only 99k, and are
177k when converted to PDF, so this result is surprising.
Are my experiences with SVG to PDF atypical? Should I try to put
together an example for debugging?
