	Hey, I was so amazed at this that I had to post it. I created a 1 page map using two MapQuest maps and some text to send to my brother. I initially created the document in Word and saved as a .pdf because I wasn't sure he had Office. The file was 1.3 MB. When I went to e-mail it, I thought that was a little bloated, so I copied everything to AppleWorks and even drew some arrows over the maps for additional guidance. When I saved that file as .pdf, it came out to 144K. More info but 1/10th the file size. Hmmmm. I guess bloatware creates bloatfiles.
