      Description

      In my program I create PDF files using the Qt Print Engine.
      I used to compile with the carbon version. Now I wanted to switch to the cocoa version.
      I didn't change any code. Unfortunately, the PDF files created with the cocoa version are really large (about 9 MB) compared to the same file created with the carbon version (about 150kb)
      It doesn't matter what I'm printing (only text or both texts and graphics)
