Help with size of PDF Exports

[AlanPickup]

Hi

I have posted a couple of times without any response from Affinity team so here’s hoping. I am trying to reduce size of an exported A4 pdf Newsletter without losing much quality for viewing on line. These are tests I have previously tried and wonder how I can achieve this without having to import the pdf. Thanks to Walt and Lagarto for help through messages previously.

Using latest Publisher Beta I create an A4 page RGB/16 10mm margin all round. I then create an image frame to the margins and from Unsplash in stock penal select the first image under search "face" and drag to the image frame. This exports Digital Small preset and 1.7 pdf at 1.95mb. At Digital – High Quality the pdf is 20.89mb The APub file is 25.8mb

If I open the High Quality PDF export in APub and then export as a pdf the Digital Small export size is 44.89kb and the Digital High Quality is 1.84mb the APub file size is 10.8mb.

Viewing on line shows very little difference, other than the image is very slightly flatter in the pdf import version, but shows very little pixilation at 200% viewing.

I am by no means an expert on file sizes and pdfs but would like to know how I can achieve the same results and smaller sizes without having to import the first pdf back in to APub.

If you're using any of the beta versions, you do want to post in the dedicated beta section for the app you're using. I can also see you have multiple posts regarding similar queries, keeping these in one thread will reduce repeated questions and answers.

I've checked and the files you uploaded are being looked into and you should hear about them soon.
