Very slow printing

Hi. I heard about PRINT2PDF on this forum a year ago, and have used it succssfully since then to produce emailable reports. Today I produced a pdf of a 14 page, legal size spreadsheet like report from Filemaker. As usual, it was very lary, 1.2 MB, and slow to upload via dial-up. One recipient brought it up in Reader and tried to print it. It didn't print. I had him initiate print again, from Reader, and had him bring up the Printer status screen. It showed the file being prepared for the printer growing by 25 MB per page. At 245 MB his old Win98 computer froze. I did what he had done on my computer, running XP Pro, and saw the same huge explosion in the size of file going to the printer. After more than 2 minutes on a 1 gig laptop, it finially begin printing for me.

My question is, why does the file going to the printer grow to astromonical size?

And does the resolution I chose for Print2PDF influence the pdf size for emailing? For printing?

Doug
