[mac-gs] create small pdfs

[Wolf Drechsel]

Hello friends,

I'm an newbie to this list and would appreciate 
some advice on a topic probabely
discussed here over and over again - but googeling didnt solve my problem up to
now.

I'm using Mac OS 10.39 - and have to create pdfs for download on the web quite
often. I dont have a distiller - and the built-in-PDF-creator (accessible via
the printig dialog) seems to make quite big files (a 67-pages-doc with around
10 small black-and-white-graphics came out with 2,1 MB). I suspect, the big
size partially comes from fonts which have been embedded several times.
Therefore I wanted to use ghostscript's ps2pdf.

So I created a PS-file with my LaserWriter-driver - called ps2pdf with the
"/screen"-option  - and ended up with a file double the size of the first pdf
(created by the built-in-dialog).

Can anybody give me a few hints how to make proper pdfs using ghostscript on a
Mac? - Also some ideas to make the printing dialog more configurable (several
printer queues?) would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and greetings,

Wolf
