I am using Adobe Technical Communication Suite and trying to create a PDF of a book of Framemaker documents. Note that from within the Book, I am just going up to the file menu and clicking Save book as PDF (I have also just tried Save as PDF. I am able to save the book as a PDF file but, the file is larger than desired. When I save it as standard, the book is still returned as a large PDF (21.5 MB) and if I try to save it as the smallest file possible, it returns the PDF as 4.0 MB but, I lose a lot in terms of clarity of the image. Can you automatically create a PDF that is slightly larger than 4 MB but small than 21.5 MB (which is what I get when I save it as a standard). My document is only 150 pages but, I do have a lot of jpeges and these are in colour.

Thanks,

Ingrid
