Hey, Jac, I was doing something similar a while back and don't remember the specific on the tricky Distiller issue, but I think I found the answer in the Read Me file for Acrobat 5. It's a common problem but an easy fix as I recall.

How can this be?? Did I miss something here? So anyway, off I went and create the newsletter in PDF and the 1 page with 1 small image & text (A4 size) is weighing in at 495Kb. Now, the large file size maybe down to me cause Distiller wouldn't work (couldn't find the driver or something) so I created it in Illustrator. How can I get the file size smaller & are PDFs always on the heavy size? Another Q: can't I just open Acrobat (not the reader) and create a PDF there or do you always have to create it in another programme like Word and then convert it to a PDF? kinda confused...... jac. ps... thanks ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
