PDFLaTeX generally write bigger PDFs, simply because there is no compression (consider for example http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2004-June/005046.html). Moreover, I think that psTricks does not work with PDFLaTeX (you need to use PDFTricks). I also vaguely remember about many situations where, if I had had to use PDFLaTeX, I would not have been able to produce the same document, because I would have had to change many packages which were incompatible. You might ask on comp.text.tex, this is a better place for this, because this is my point of view, and it is not shared by the whole community. -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.
