I downloaded the microsft publish to PDF plugin because Office 2007 broke
Adobe CS2 (print to distiller), and used it to generate a printout of a PPT
presentation with notes. I found that when generating a 1.2 mb low-res PDF
with notes from a 5 mb presentation, Powerpoint consumed 694 MB of pagefile,
which it won't release until you close the PPT. In other words, if I want to
produce a print and screen resolution PDF and I don't close the presentation
between those operations, Powerpoint will hold on to about 1.4 GB of Pagefile.

The operation is also slower than crustal subduction.

I posted a bit ago and never heard back. So I have put a little album
together to illustrate my problem. It has screenshots of the pagefile usage,
file size, and basically a narrated illustration of the issue.
