Publisher postscript files are too large!!

Hi,

I am using MS Publisher 2003 to convert a pub document into a
postscript file. The problem I am having is that the resulting PS
file is huge. For example, a 2mb Publisher file ends up as a 90mb
postscript file.

I know that this should not be the case (or at least, I know that it
can be avoided) because I used Publisher 2003 about six months ago to
convert an almost identical file to PostScript and the file only ended
up as 6mb.

Interestingly, I had to download Microsoft's Generic Color PS because
everytime I tried to save to Postscript using the Adobe PDF printer, it
crashed after about a minute.


Any ideas on what is happening here... and more importantly, how I can
get around it.


Thanks,
Johannes

Is there a reason that you must have a PS file? Would another format do?

I'm not sure, to be honest.

I have been requested by a commercial printer to provide PS files.

What are my other alternatives?

Thanks,
