Hi,

please provide exact steps you use to get PDF file.

Your pentable is not the source of the problem.

Upload some test files.

Hi,

Stroke all fonts option affects PDF size, if a drawing contains a lot of texts displayed using TTF font.

I use CutePDF printer rather than Save As PDF.  Using Print, you have the option to do a Complex overlap check.  This greatly reduces the file size for me.  If there is a solution to do this same overlap check using Save As, I would certainly consider using it myself.  I have tried so many different options and nothing else works this well.

There is a time punishment for using complex overlap check. On a large drawing, it can take minutes to create the PDF.
