I'm working with a document having 4 art boards, no 3D stuff and I'm pretty sure nothing that could benefit from being "expanded."
Basically: shapes, colors, 4 gradients, maybe half a dozen not-huge images. Not huge = 1000px by 1500px, scaled down as needed.
Dunno whether they are the culprits, but my sense is that my document ought not take SO long to save as it's taking.
what are the other villains I should be looking for?
thank you.
EDIT: I found the culprit: text I'd set in InDesigned, then copied and pasted FPO into Illustrator...as so often happens, each letter was it's own text block and some of the text had to be outlined for reasons Illustrator knows.
