The size of the exported pdf file is very big as compared to a pdf made by the
opensource application known as pdfcreator from sourceforge.net. Why can't the
Openoffice project people use/borrow the opensource code from the PDF creator in
their application? Since their pdf creation process does not give any special
benefits as compared to a better and more specialised product.

In both the pdf creation processes, we cannot set security features for the
output file --this sort of enhancement will certainly help and could be planned
for later.
