I have several spreadsheets in which I need to paste PDF pages. The problem
is that this increases the file size of the spreadsheet more than that of the
PDf.

For example, after saving a blank spreadsheet, the file size is only 14 Kb.
After pasting both pages of a PDF into the file, the file size increases to
96 Kb. The original PDF is only 45 Kb.

Can someone please explain why the file size increases so much and is there
a way to capture and paste this information without such an increase of file
size? My current procedure is simply to use the snapshot tool to copy each
page in Acrobat Reader then I paste the respective snapshots into the
insertion point of the spreadsheet.

Any help in accomplishing this with minimal file size would be greatly
appreciated.

Sincerely,
Jim
