Btw: Is there a tool that compresses a pdf by replacing identical objects with references?
pdfTeX could do this by itself: Store the md5 of the shortest n objects (e.g. n = 1024) smaller then x bytes (e.g. x = 1024, longer objects will typically be unique) and replace new identical objects with references to the already existing ones. This would e.g. condense all the obj <> endobj in the pdfTeX manual. :-) Best Martin -- http://www.tm.oneiros.de
