Eingebette PSD-Dateien werden nicht komprimiert beim PDF-Export

Hallo in die Runde,

vielleicht hat ja jemand einen Tipp, wie ich folgendes Problem lösen kann: Häufig erstelle ich große Indesign-Dateien, die sehr viele PSD-Dateien beinhalten. Diese wiederum bestehen sehr häufig aus Transparenzen und Smart-Objekten. Wenn ich nun aus InDesign ein PDF mit kleinster Dateigröße und einer Bild-Auflösung von 72dpi exportiere, scheint InDesign die PSD-Inhalte nicht runterzurechnen oder zu komprimieren, sondern gibt mir immer wieder viel zu hohe PDF-Dateien aus. Die lassen sich natürlich so nicht per Email verschicken. Auch eine nachträgliche Reduzierung der Inhalte und Transparenzen in Acrobat führt zu keinem Erfolg.

Bisher habe ich das Problem immer umgangen, indem ich die betreffenden Dateien aus Photoshop heraus als JPG gespeichert habe und dann in InDesign die entsprechenden Verknüpfungen ausgetauscht habe. Das ist allerdings bei der Menge an PSD-Dateien zeitlich sehr aufwändig.

Jetzt meine Frage: Kennt jemand eine Einstellung oder einen Tipp, wie ich den zusätzlichen Weg der Umwandlung von PSD in JPG umgehen kann?

Bin für jeden Tipp dankbar.

Gruß

JuliaW.

An advertising campaign in my agency used art that was so complex that we also had a problem making pdfs that were small enough for emailing. The solution we found meant a return to the old fashioned way of making a pdf. This method entails using the Print dialog box instead of the export to pdf feature.

An advertising campaign in my agency used art that was so complex that we also had a problem making pdfs that were small enough for emailing. The solution we found meant a return to the old fashioned way of making a pdf. This method entails using the Print dialog box instead of the export to pdf feature. In the Print box set your printer to postscript file. Do all of the settings in there as you would do if you were going to print the job and and then hit the button that says "Save" and save this file which will have the suffix .ps on it to your desktop. Then open the Acrobat distiller application which will be within the Acrobat application folder. There will be a Default Setting pull-down menu at the top of the dialog box and make sure that is set for "Smallest File Size". Then drag the postscript file right onto this dialog and the pdf will be created and left on your desktop. When we did this pdfs that were over 200 mb were reduced to less than 25 mb and still retained high quality.

Another possibility is to open the InDesign-generated PDF in  „MacVorschau“, select all pages and save another PDF via "Export as ...". The compression is fabulous!

Don't use Apple Preview/Vorschau to open and to read PDFs. It is not a reliable program to represent PDF files as it supports not all PDF functionality. This program is a crap and the result may differ from the original file.
