help! I'm fairly new to my macbook, I love it! BUT when I use the save to PDF feature the file created is even bigger than the original doc? The reason I convert to PDF is to email a much smaller file? Thanks

What kind of document are you converting into a PDF and what program are you using to do it?

I'm using both pages & ms word for mac, going to the print command & clicking the save to pdf button in bottom left of dialog box. Any help would be great.

You need to get a leaner PDF workflow installed, it was an option in Tiger but seems to have been missed out for Leopard

Apple - Downloads - Automator Actions - Compress PDF Workflow

Once installed you will get an option to print to a compressed PDF
