 Generating the TheJalviewTutorial_Screen.pdf\r
 --------------------------------------------\r
 \r
+Note: before any pdf optimization can be performed, you need to preprocess the raw pdf generated by pdflatex by:\r
+ps2pdf TheJalviewTutorial.pdf TheJalviewTutorial_pdfopt.pdf\r
+\r
+The above command should complete with no errors. The resulting file can be safely operated on with the Adobe PDF optimizer to downsample images without losing any of the special characters (e.g. the double right arrows for menu/submenu paths or the arrow key symbols).\r
