Slawek S Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Publisher ver. 1.7.0.257. Whatever value I set in "allow JPEG compression" quality the size of exported pdf file is the same, and the quality of pictures are the same. As the size of exported document is pretty much the same as the publisher document I assume that there is no compression during export at all.
Staff Pauls Posted March 26, 2019 Staff Posted March 26, 2019 JPEG compression will only be used if it is needed, to avoid introducing compression artefacts unnecessarily. For example, if they are downsampled, clipped, or need to be rasterised because of some effect applied to them. If you want to reduce file size, I'd suggest downsampling the images.
Slawek S Posted March 29, 2019 Author Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) In my opinion the value for "allow jpeg compression" should be used to play with the output pdf file size. We do this in Affinity Photo when setting the value in the export option for jpeg file. In the previous version of affinity publisher this worked the same way... Edited March 29, 2019 by Slawek S
