There are a number of graphics and the book is 170 pages. I set the PDF Conversion settings to Smallest File Size, image compression to 72 dpi, do not imbed fonts. I even rand the "Reduce File Size" command after the PDF was created and ended up with a larger file. Dick Margulis wrote: Also check the conversion settings dialog. How many heading levels? What's going on with cross-refs? What are the default compression settings? Etc. Headings set to four, conversion settings to smallest file size, compression settings set to 72 dpi for images, cross-references are set for headings to fourth level and figure titles. Looks like it may be time to purge the system of Acrobat and Office 2003 and do a clean install of both. Sigh...and I was so hoping for a quiet Friday.
