I have Office 2008 on my laptop (PC), so I just did a quick test. I copied the content of this thread, pasted it into Word, saved it (2008 format, docx), then saved to pdf (Save As PDF or XPS menu item, not printing to an Adobe driver). The Word doc was 112kb, the pdf was 399. It did contain some images (posters avatars), but the text did save to pdf as text. Is that ratio (about 4x the size) the same as you're getting?
