Hi,
I've been working around this problem for a few years now and I thought I might ask to see if I might be able to simplify my life a bit.
For most of my maps we take and put them into a desktop publishing program (Quark). The problem I have is that they only turn out good if they are bitmaps and if the dpi are at least 300. So when I create a layout and 'save window as'>bitmap the map is usually about 25mgb, which most programs don't like picture files that big. It bogs everything down. I downloaded a patch for file bloating a few years ago, but as I understand it that really isn't the problem (and it didn't help).
I have tried just about everything that I know how, different dpi, file formats ect and I still end up with a rather large file which other programs don't like to work with. Most of our books have at least 30 of these picture if not 70. So the desktop publishing program has a hard time with the entire file size, not the least to say turning 1000+ mgb file into a pdf.
Any advice would be greatly apprectiated.
