Exporting PDF from InDesign


after creating designs, place them in indesign save smaller pdf's usual photoshop pdf. projects, pdf files under 3mb today indesign seems making worlds largest pdfs! simple letter size paper 2 graphics creating pdf that's 12mb! knowledge, none of previous settings have been changed i'm perplexed why i'm getting these massive pdfs when export.

 

any advice?

hi ashley,

open pdf in acrobat pro , use pdf optimizer feature , press "audit spage usage…" button.
you'll overview how space in file used what.

 

"images" compared "document overhead" perhaps tell story.

if document overhead huge, image data contain huge amount of metadata.

 

under "settings" safe pdf optimizer set, consist of check of "discard user data".
there see option "discard document information , metadata".
do not touch "images" if not needed.
