2:3 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hello, I need to export 9 A3 pages with text and photos to pdf for screen with a max of 9 mb. From Indesign I can do that fairly well. But when I use the same settings in Publisher, the pdf is always larger and worse quality. I tried in 150 dpi then 96 dpi, I tried jpg compression off then 85 % ... PDF 1.4 ... what else could I do to reduce the file size of the exported pdf and leave it sharp, not blurry? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using any effects layers, is the Text getting rasterized, how large are photos, how many photos?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2:3 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hi, no, I do not use any effects or effect layers. Rasterizing: I tried with different export settings: none, some and rasterize all. I think the rasterizing all produced the smallest pdf size. Photos: each page has 2 photos, so 9 pages = 18 photos of different original file sizes and resolutions. They fill about 70 - 80 % of the page. The page ist 42 x 29,7 cm - two photos are ca. 40 x 18 cm on each page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
