    Description

      I'm printing from KMail via the QT print dialog into a PDF document.

      The documents created are quite huge, some 1,5MB for 4 pages of text.

      If I copy the text into LibreOffice and export to PDF, it is just a couple of kB.

      Is there anything that can be done to reduce the size? Maybe a print setting?
