Hi

Sometimes ago, I read two messages with solutions about merging pdf files:
In command line:

>  texexec --pdfarrange --result all.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf
>  texexec --pdfarrange --result all.pdf `ls *.pdf`

With pdflatex:

>  \documentclass[a4paper]{article}
>  \usepackage{pdfpages}
>
>  \begin{document}
>
>  \includepdf[pages=-]{Article-I-Titre}
>  \includepdf[pages=-]{Article-I-0}
>  \includepdf[pages=-,landscape]{Article-I-Tableau}
>
>  \end{document}

I have used succesfully the two options but the problem is that the 
size of the resulting pdf es very large (more than two times the size 
of the object files). Is there a way to optimize the pdf size?
