RenWaller Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hello, I have a few files that I am exporting to PDFs in Affinity Publisher. The problem is, when I export it to a PDF, the file is still 11mb - very large (and it's only a 17 page file). I know there are ways to make it smaller (i.e. reducing the quality), but my client is very picky about quality - yet he also wants it smaller. I understand why it's big (images etc,) but I'm not sure why it's so big or if there's any way to get it smaller. The Publisher file itself - with the images embedded - is 21.3mb. When I replaced some of the images with smaller versions, the actual file size reduced by a lot, but the PDF size didn't. Is there something I can do or that I'm missing? Thank you!

carl123 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 You have not told us what PDF settings you are using to get an 11mb file But even so, changing the colour format of the document from RGB/16 to RGB/8 should reduce the file size significantly Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
