Size of PDF output

Dear Dialux support

Not sure where to post this, as it is not a "problem" bust significant enough to notify you.

I have noticed a significant diference in the file size when using PDF output.

I am using the PRO version of dialux (latest edition). If I export first to WORD and then print using "Microsoft Print to PDF", I get a significantly lower file size, with no visual difference in quality.

For example, a report with 37 pages, including 5 pictures, exporting directly to PDF creates a 26+MB file. When doing this via exporting to WORD as described above the file size for both WORD and the resulting PDF are circa 1.6MB.

This was for a small project, so for larger projects, this can be quite impactful, especially in sharing the reports.
