Well, yet another comment on formats, pdf uses the unisys patented
compression (like gif's), so having free tools that use the compression
features of pdf are probably illegal. And therefor dangerous.
Or you don't have compressions, that will result in file length equiv to
those of Postscript (without the messy bitmap files, ps sucks at those,
pdf supports jpg and png IIRC)
