Mediamaskinen Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hi, I'm trying to make an PDF export preset in Publisher as similar as possible to an InDesign export preset I have. It's just an export for keeping low file size but reasonably good image quality that I can send to my clients for visual proofing. The problem is that the file size increases by over 1.3 mB when including the sRGB profile when exporting from Publisher whilst exporting from InDesign gives me an increase of just 2 kB. Why is that? Is there something I can do to keep the file size down but also include the profile? Or is there something you can change in the application to make it more like the InDesign export? Thanks!

Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 5, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 5, 2018 We agree this behaviour needs looking into to see if it can be improved. I will discuss this with the PDF expert when he returns from a holiday. Thanks for the report and I will get back to you when I know more.

Dave Harris Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 The sRGB profile itself is about 2.5k. Is this a CMYK document being exported as an RGB PDF? It looks like the document's CMYK profile gets included then even if it isn't needed. I've logged this to be looked at. As a workaround it may help to change the document format to sRGB, export, then undo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediamaskinen Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 You seems to be spot on Dave! I changed the document to AdobeRGB and the exported file size did not even differ between including or excluding the ICC profile anymore ... Thanks!
