I use max image resolution and no compression for the "Berkhamsted review" that I compile every month. The 30mb .pub file turns into typically 400mb of PDF! Overkill I know, but my printer can handle it! At the other end of the scale, this mag I put on my site for another church: http://allsaintsberkhamsted.org.uk/newsletter/2005/06/newsletter.pdf is 36 pages long and something under 1MB. I think the 3mb talked about for Quanta is possibly the pdf for the printer. If it is for him, then it sounds far too small a file! No wonder quality is poor.
