Differing file sizes...

Hi Nova et al
I'm hoping you might be able to clear up a problem we're having with the size of the PDFs generated from the PDF printer varying significantly from one machine to another.
We have two machines as an example one XP 32bit and one windows 7 64bit both with the novaPDF V7.1 printer installed, if we take an identical document for example the XP machine will generate a 1Mb PDF file but the Windows 7 machine generates a 3Mb file. All settings on the printer are the same that I can see particularly in regard to downscaling and compression.
I've tested printing from Word and from other non-office applications and we get the same results of the windows 7 machine generating much larger PDFs than the XP machine.
Normally this wouldn't be too much of an issue but when they become impractical to email it is, I hoped someone might have some tips or potential solutions.
Thanks
Tom
