Yes, I've experienced noticeable degradation of
bitmapped graphics. When I say "noticeable,"
I mean the SME asked what happened. I stopped
using the Reduce File Size command for the time
being.
I redid the PDF without Reduce File Size, and
it looked fine; redid it once more with Reduce
File Size to see if the problem recurred, and it
did; but haven't had time to research the matter
further.
