Hi everyone.

> Depends, what kind of images you are talking about. [...]

Agreed 200%.

Detail: if your result is vector like (not like a photo, but more like a
graph), you can export to pdf and include the pdf as it is. It works
perfectly directly for inside org.

Also, if your pdfs have raster images on them, check this great script
for compression:

Best...
