Default Watermark overheads in PDf and print jobs

Word 2003
I have a watermark in my documents inserted using the Format Background
Printed Watermark option.
The watermark doubles the size of PDFs and increases the size of the spooled
print job on a network printer enormously. A 1mb PDf or a 500 kb Word file
shows on the print queue in excess of 50 MB. The print job is incredibly
slow.

Can I control this in any way?

Currently i am printing draft documents for review and have to distribute
the printed copies without the watermark which is not desirable or
convenient.

Thanks Margit!

This is a great help!
PDF file sizes are now way down, printing is back to normal and I get to
keep the watermark!
