keep in mind that max compression slows down processing and often not much is gained
Hey Hans. My document shrinks from about 70 MB to 20MB with compression.
hm, suspicious
But back to my original question, do I need all three or are they all redundant and only one of them I actually need? If only one is necessary, should I just use \setupbackend[level=9] ?
yes, that's best because as soon as that command is called, the set value of 'level' is used, no matter what other values has been set never use \pdf* commands directly .. way too low level and use the oher command only for fast tests (i use it in small test files) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
