Hello,
We are currently experiencing a strange issue. Our pdfs that are exported using an InDesign Server CS5 with an script using pdf preferences weigh more than pdfs exported using "the same" joboptions in InDesign. I have looked for differences between the joboptions configuration and the script code but can't see any. Is there something I'm missing?
