I know very little about postscript but was hoping to learn a little
more.
Recently I had to reduce the size of a number of .eps files. I found
that by converting them from eps to eps level 3 that the files
were reduced by sometimes more than 50%! Why is this?
Just by reading a little more it seems that level 3 is just the most
recent revision of postscript language. Is this just a case that
their have been simplifications of how images are described which
result in the much smaller files sizes? Or is it something else? If so,
what?
