printing to a pdf file with probably shrink the file size.

iirc, you're trying to shrink the size of a formular and i fear that 
there is no "free" way to shrink such a pdf file (acrobat pro may be 
able to do it).



this is one of the cases, where scribus could,  need for a person 
stepping in and wanting to implement a "light" pdf export for scribus. 
Or a company should finance it...


it's one of the features which would clearly improve scribus but which 
won't be implemented in a near future because the current situation is 
good enough (and the priority is to fix things which are not good enough!)
