When I "Publish to PDF" the size of the file was 30,000 KB and the quality was excellent. When I used Bullzip PDF Printer the size was 2,000 KB and the quality was not very good, even when I printed to 2400 dpi - the lines were fuzzy and not quite suitable for printing.
Is there a compromise between the two options - a PDF printer with a smaller size and with good quality?

Seemed to figure it out myself.
Publish to PDF/Settings/Editing was a much smaller file. The settings had been on "Custom" (I don't know why or what it was) and the output was very large.
Yes, both CorelDraw and have settings which control the size and characteristics of the PDF produced.
In Corel's case, you have a number of presets (prepress, editing, web etc) but having selected one you can go into settings and change the individual parameters.
Custom is not a preset, it is usually the result of editing one of the standard settings. You will lose the custom settings if you select one of the other presets. But you can save a custom configuration as a new preset if you need to keep customised settings that you can return to later.

Yes, the more quality, more bigger is the file.
There're several settings, according with the use of the file, ie it'snot the same to produce a PDF for print than a PDF for web (only for read)
