Related to this, how much does the input format for an image matter for 
the final size of the PDF?  I'm assuming vector images would be smaller 
for vector-type data, but for raster-type data (eg, screen shots, 
photos, etc.) how much does the original format matter?  For instance, 
would a screen shot stored in PNG or JPG create a larger or smaller 
final PDF?  Or is it just the size of the PDF without the image + the 
size of the image, whatever format it is?

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an

to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the 
possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of 
it."  -- Thomas Jefferson
