Cant get PDF exported lower than 300MB!! Going Bonkers!
I am having trouble getting my exported pdf lower than 300MB and its only 40 pages! All the images were saved as JPEGS in photoshop at 300dpi and placed into the InDesign document. Each image is only 1-1.5MB. I have tried every export option available in InDesign. I have no idea how to get the PDF to 200MB without lowering the export resolution to around 200dpi(which looks horrible). Please Please Help. I have spent weeks getting this magazine ready and I could really use some help!
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Have you tried using a compression setting of medium to high (but not highest) quality setting? We've found this is a good way to reduce file size without compromising print quality.

Inappropriate?Yes. I have tried that and it will get the file under 300MB but nowhere near 200MB! I even tried medium with 240dpi set in the export setting! I cant make sense of it. When I select the each image in InDesign it says each one is only 1-1.5MB. how can 40 of these add up to 300MB? :(

Inappropriate?Any chance you are using B&W images? I encountered a bug in InDesign where it does not use JPEG in the pdf export even when you select it -- but only for B&W images. The result was as you describe: inexplicably huge files. I can offer a workaround if that's your case.

Inappropriate?No, they are color images.

Inappropriate?I think I figured it out! I downloaded a trial version of Acrobat from adobe and used that to compile the pages. That resulted in a 50MB file and it looks pretty good!
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Just to help everybody else out, my 32 page magazine using MS Publisher 2007 was heavy in photos, and came out to just over 35 MB in pdf format..
