I sometimes use PDF Creator to reduce the size of lectures posted on class web sites. They come to me as PDF, and are printed from PDF Xchange viewer (2.0 build 44) to PDF creator (0.9.5) to make the final file smaller. The (original) pages look normal in the viewer, but those in the smaller file have mangled text after some point.. The print dialog (and sub menu) options are:
print all pages
portrait
paper size 1024 x 768 (XGA)
150 dpi
fit to printer margins
auto center
In PDF Creator the dpi is set 150 for the various PDF image settings. This generally works. However, for very long files, for instance with the following 50 page file (this is the original, without the corruption - 25MB!)

it goes wrong, here at at page 49, with the text all messed up. The images are fine on pages where the text is not.
Anybody know what is going wrong and where? Is this a PDF Xchange viewer issue, a PDFCreator issue, or a ghostscript issue?
Thanks.
