William Overington Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I am new to Affinity Publisher. I have produced an A4 document with the following text in 36 point Goudita SF and then produced a PDF document. This is a document produced using the Serif Affinity software package. Yet the PDF document has a size of 384.95 kilobytes whereas whole chapters of my novel produced using PagePlus X7 are around 25 kilobytes typically. The text appears to be in characters as I did a copy and paste from the PDF document to WordPad and then deleted the some of characters one by one, then changed the font of the rest. Any ideas why the PDF document is so big please? William Quote Until December 2022, using a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 in England.

William Overington Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 I am thinking that this has something to do with the PDF being produced using the PDF (for print) choice because when I produced a later PDF, that include two more characters from different fonts as well, using he PDF (for web) choice, the result is 17 kilobytes in size.

Alfred Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Do you still get a file size of more than 380 KB when you choose the ‘PDF (for print)’ option?
