Hmmm... How is it compressed?  

When I said that the Stereogram is 1.5MB, I mean that this is
the size of the pdf file.  The original MS Publisher file is
about 10MB.  So the pdf file is smaller than the original, but
do you have another way of compressing it further?  And how does
the end user uncompresses it?

What makes the pdf file so big are the many color (now)
pictures.  A page without figures can be as small as 20K.  But
just DrT's tutorial two pages in the last newsletter are 780K!
(again, in the pdf file).  They have 12 pictures!

I counted 36 pictures in the last issue.  Now, 36 pictures are a
lot for an 8-page newsletter, but a picture is worth a lot of
words!  I do not want to cut down on the pictures, just to have
a smaller electronic newsletter.  Any idddeas?
