I have a book-length document with many hi-res graphics. I would like to omit those graphics in order to make a smaller file to submit to some proof-readers. I have tried both: "\setupexternalfigures[option=empty]" and "texexex --fast". Both give the same result: the graphics are replaced by black rectangles, but the size of the pdf file is the same as the original version which included the graphics. (Very large). Oddly enough, the pdfimages utility will not extract any images from the "black rectangles" version, leading me to think the graphics are not really in the pdf file, but I don't know what would be taking up the same amount of space.

so, you want to ignore the graphics, even the space they take?

No, I wanted to leave an empty rectangle in place of each graphic, sized the same as the original. (It's not urgent now; I decided to skip that effort). -Bill -- Sattre Press Tales of War http://sattre-press.com/ by Lord Dunsany info@sattre-press.com http://tow.sattre-press.com/

I think Bill is talking about disk space, not layout space. Greetings Johannes -- Johannes Hüsing There is something fascinating about science. One gets hannes@ruhrau.de such wholesale returns of conjecture from such a trifling investment of fact. Mark Twain
