I haven't tried Jaws. If I remember right, we had the Adobe software configured for optimal printing - 300dpi if I remember correctly - not optimal screen display. That may indeed be faster.

>>I've had the same experience - PDFs created by ghostscript are considerably smaller than those created using distiller, and they're created a bit faster, too. I'm still using gs 5.5 - rock solid and fast, so I haven't bothered upgrading to 7.5. Dunno about later versions.
