Mac Preview - deleting pages drastically increases file size
Hi, I'm using Preview 5.5.3 (719.31) on 10.7.5. I've noticed that when I delete individual pages from a pdf (using Cmd-Del from the bookmarks sidebar), the filesize of the pdf balloons by a factor of between 5 and 10. For instance, I just removed one page from a 5.9 Mb PDF and it increased the size to 47.8 Mb. This pretty much makes deletion unusable. Any clues on this one? There's a similar query from 2008 but the answers are not helpful. Should this go in a bug report?
Thanks!
