			Both pdf and odt files of manual pages are automatically produced by the pdf export extension, see [[Special:Version\|Special:Version]]. There are two issues, which affect the large filesize:
	* Firstly, the extension fetches high resolution images from the wiki, to give a print-quality pdf. As far as [[RECOUP/site/User/Bjoern\|Bjoern]] can see, this cannot be configured. Hopefully it'll be possibly to configure this in a future version. It may also be possible to use a templating mechanism to get some choice over image inclusion, but this in terms of usability (for wiki editors) it would be better if the pdf export worked with standard image tags.		* Firstly, the extension fetches high resolution images from the wiki, to give a print-quality pdf.
