Hi Wide, Yep, those are the same settings. So likely as mentioned, it is further optimization Xara has done with the export filter.
I fully understand. I have a particular service bureau I have done work with since 1989 and will do work with them as long as we both are in business. But I am not always in control of where the work goes and so the printer has to be capable of doing the work. Which for some clients mean they have to choose a different printer. For instance, the last book I did had the PDF at about 1.25 gigabytes for the interior.
There isn't any way to get your PDF smaller than I have done without lowering the DPI. It's a limitation of the physical size of a bitmaps being used for the page.
Only vector elements will reduce the PDF size. Do you have vector elements of these pages?
