'k, here's the deal. We have a quark brochure for print with eps high res images. I don't know how many pages, lots. When we try to generate a pdf, we get a 57 mg file. Oh my gawd, this is HUGE! What are key steps in taking a high res print file and producing a small pdf that can be portable online and yet print ok on a regular office printer/?????

Every year I help a client with a 32-page full-color catalog that is created by a designer in Quark. His PDF files are like 10-15 mb per page...I can make the same PDF at 10% of his file sizes. My guess is that the problem is his PPD, although I have yet to get to see how the designer makes the PDF (he is a couple of hours away). Any information you can share would be helpful, otherwise your guess is as good as mine is.

Could you isolate which of such imported files (if any/if my assumption is correct) is causing this?
