    InDesign pdf file sizes...

    Tom; Yes the files are the "same". And also yes, you print to file, and the settings are the same, using a pdf driver in the print dialog box. When you distill the settings are also the same. See why I am confused?!

    InDesign pdf file sizes...

    Hey Tom; It;'s not necessarily the "largeness of the files" it's the inconsistency between the two file sizes. If you read my first and second posts, I made mention of the file size issue, and was perplexed as to why the larger file made a smaller pdf and vice versa. As well as how come one...

    InDesign pdf file sizes...

    Hi Vakohles; Im working on a G4 10.3.9 using InDesign CS and Acrobat 6.0.2. Thanks for that tip, but it gave me a 20+mb file, so that's another exhausted avenue that I can say that I've tried - along with the 15 or so other attempts at this pdf.

    InDesign pdf file sizes...

    Hi All; Recently I have been working on a project that is very image heavy (1 hi res per page, approx 220 pages per document). The InDesign documents themselves vary in size by 10mb. English is 31.9mb and French is 42.2mb. (Ihave no idea why this is, unless it is retaining old data, I have...

    Hyphens Disappear

    Has anyone had any experience with this problem? I have had 3 publications where the hyphens get dropped from the text, making it very difficult to proofread. I have looked at fonts and they are all postscript (not TT). Would like to remedy this before I put together any more large pubs...ideas??
