In general I agree with you that PDF files seem to be bloated. In this
case however the .pdf file (1,463,895 bytes) of 6 .png images was
smaller than a zip (1,940,938 bytes) of the same 6 .png images. So (for
this particular case) PDF was 25% more efficient than zip!
I think the space efficiency of PDF is heavily dependent on the data it
encapsulates.
