I see there is a "pdf optimizer" option. Does that do anything? I am not
sure when to use that or not. I have much the same issue as Andy.

Thanks for the reply Jane,
Yes, I am creating the entire document in Photoshop. I normally design the
page one layer at a time, then merge them all to create a final flat image
/ document. A lot of graphics and photo manipulation is carried out.
The final PDF file (created either directly through Photoshop or by third
party software) is fine as long as the file size is 500kb minimum.
If I try and save below this file size then the PDF file becomes pixelated
and unprofessional looking.
I am trying to create a file size that is easily emailable - approx 100kb
to 200kb, but keeping the near same quality as the final image ... or any
PDF brouchure that you may see.
The client I am designing this page for wishes to email the brouchure out
to friends, family and other potential clients, and wishes to have the
final copy in PDF format .. .which I can understand her doing ... but I
can't get the file size down without risking the quality of the whole
document.
Anybody know how the professionals are able to get a full colour brouchure
onto a resonable sized PDF file? Jane, unfortunately it is not as easy as
just text only ... I would most probably create that in Word or Quark.
Thanks again.....
Regards,
andy....

Are you creating the entire document, including text, in Photoshop? What
part of the document is poor quality--the text, the images, or both?
If it's the text, don't create it in Photoshop.

From: andym
I am hoping to create an A4 colour document in Photoshop, saved as a PDF
file, preferably with a file size under 250kb - which is emailable and
printable for either a home or office printer.
I initially used 300dpi, but have dropped it to 200dpi as it is not going
to print, but to a lan or home printer.
I have tried all sorts of options, but I only manage to obtain a poor
quality document.
