Large file size on "Convert to PDF"

In Lotus 8.5, we use the "Convert to PDF" menu entry to save emails with attachments for compliance purposes.   This is in the Action menu, and it converts emails in a list view (e.g. Inbox) to PDF files with their attachments.  Attachments are not included with Print to PDF.

If I use Print to PDF and detach the attachment I get maybe a 15KB file for the email and whatever the file size is for the attachment, say, for this example, 20KB.

If I apply Convert to PDF to the same email, it comes out to about 610KB every time.

Is there a way to get Convert to PDF to create smaller files with attachments?
