.afpub-files rather huge

[Ditlev Petersen 2]

I just noticed that my little experimental project (a book at around 120 pages estimated) has generated a file larger than 100 MB. An almost identical project in PagePlus was about 10 MB when finished. The new one is not even half complete. Am I doing something stupid? Is there an embed-setting I should know?

Prefer linked IS set for images.

Yes, this is normal and how the file works.

Images are always embedded. You can slim down the file size by "save as" under another name.

Please use the search on this.

Thanks. When I consider the images it makes sense.
