Description

graphics as png files (total files size about 2 Mb) are expanded to some bitmap?
representation in pdf leading to a massive increase in file size (from 0.6 Mb
using version 2 to 10 Mb using version 0.92).

Is there some way of specifying that compressed graphics should be used in the pdf.

(The graphics are actually math equations - fairly complicated with integrals
etc, and some simple graphs of functions like normal distribution. About 30 of
each, so quite a lot of work to change representation Is there some other
workaround? vector format?)
