"Optimized" here probable refers to what Adobe calls "Linearized" PDF
- that is, a PDF that has been optimized for viewing, especially over
a network. Cairo currently doesn't emit linearized PDFs, and it would
be nice if it could one day do so. In the mean time, I might suggest
trying the "pdfopt" program instead. I think that it comes with the
Ghostscript installation. More info about linearized PDFs can be found
here:
