Ok. The release of 10-21-2025 was 20.2 MB in size. The release before that, from 9-13-2025, was 5.7 MB. I was in a rush to get the 10-21 release uploaded, and didn\u2019t stop to look at file sizes. My bad. I live a fullish life and sometimes I move too fast.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t claim to be an expert on PDF internals, so I did some digging around in the document properties for the 10-21 PDF. In the Document Properties there\u2019s a button to bring up something called \u201cAudit Space Usage.\u201d This lists all the various components of a PDF, including images, fonts, and so on, with percentages of the file taken up by each component. The \u201cStructure Info\u201d component took up 70%<\/em> of the PDF. I didn\u2019t find anything useful about the Structure Info component online, and don\u2019t really understand what it refers to or how it got into the PDF. The PDF I exported this morning has zero<\/em> space in the Structure Info line.<\/p>\nIt has nothing to do with it being a tagged or untagged PDF. (I tested that. Tagging adds a little bulk\u2014just not 300%!) In truth I still don\u2019t know why the 10-21-2025 issue is so huge. Some switch somewhere must turn on Structure Info, but I haven\u2019t found that switch yet, and must have hit it accidentally before I exported the 10-21 PDF.<\/p>\n
Many thanks to reader Robert Riebisch for alerting me to the oversize file!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
