Saving to a pdf in Google docs is twice the size of a word file and larger than Word saving to a PDF
Has anyone used Google docs to save to a word file and also to a pdf? Without changing anything between the two the PDF is 180kb and the word doc is 90kb. Isn’t the advantage of a PDF that it compresses unnecessary information? When I compress the same file from the 90kb word file in Microsoft Word 2011 to a PDF on a Mac I get 150kb. What is the other 30k doing in that PDF file? Has anyone else noticed that Google docs makes chunky PDF’s?

Word 2011 vs Pages 09 vs Google Docs
Office apps showdown: Word processors Office Macworld. So Pages is a good app if you don’t need security on your documents like Word provides. Word can be overly complex for many people, and Google Docs is not a real contender here. It is so basic many people will waste more time with it then they will save.
