Make sure the table borders are not shades of gray. This can make a PDF
larger than the Word doc.

We are converting a Word 2000 doc to a PDF (Acrobat 5.0.5). The doc is
sixty-some pages and has a bazillion tables in it. The PDF ends up being
bigger than the Word doc and takes forever to download from the server. Does
anyone have a way to squeeze up these tables so they don't bloat the PDF so
much? I am fresh out of ideas and would love some suggestions.
