    Exporting to PDF - file size too big

    linziloop Community Member

      Hello! Hope you are all well

       

      I have a Price Guide that i have converted from Quark to InDesign. When the price guide was exported as a PDF at smallest file size possible in Quark, i could get it down to 5mb. At smallest file size (and modified to be even lesser quality images) in InDesign, i can't get it below 8.7mb. We need it to be below 5mb to send via email. The images it is linking to are exactly the same as the images the Quark file was linking to, but just to make absolutely sure i could get the smallest size possible, i went into photoshop and made every image that was over 10mb smaller.

       

      I wouldn't mind telling my boss it can't be done - but we know it can be in Quark....so i don't see why not in InDesign.

       

      Any ideas anyone?

       

      I'm on a Mac, OSX 10.5.8, InDesign CS3.
