In my experience (XP 4.7dev snapshot) Inkscape is not space efficient when performing a save as pdf with embedded bitmaps. I have no ideas what settings are used, but the files end up quite large.

I'd recommend saving as png and then resaving as pdf if you need to. It's going to be more accurately printed, most likely, and probably a good bit smaller than 16mb.

Just finished my first Inkscape book cover. The pdf is huge, over 16 mb. Can anyone suggest a way to reduce it? I tried changing the dpi for rasterization from 600 dpi to 300 dpi and it just got bigger! Next step I will reduce the background image in Gimp, reimport, and see what happens.
