Inflated file size

[mrjoeyman]

I have created a pdb file exactly like a friend of mine. He guided me through the process and I emulated him to the inth degree and ended up with the exact file. Problem is that his file is 579 KB in filesize and mine is 3.1 MB. Both files contain the same few pictures @ the same 600x600 pic size, determined by isiloX. Could someone shed some light on what may be the problem? If I save the same file with the pic size @ 200x200 (determined by isiloX, the file weighs in @ 619 KB. I am stumped and would appreciate some views on what I can do to fix the problem. We both use Win7 btw. Thanks!

Compare the image options you have set with the image options your friend has set for the conversion of the document in iSiloX.

Yes upon re-comparison, they are identical. We used the exact same images, and the exact same image size and options in the image option selection in iSiloX. I also tried various link depths, but still the same file size. We both are set to 20 on link depth and both using only sub folder links, no off site links. It is a baffler.
