I am using Adobe Technical Communication Suite ( with Framemaker)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 jpegs (60) and these are in colour.

Thanks,

Ingrid

Ingrid,

You need to play with Distiller's Joboption settings. It gives you very 
good control of file size, but you need to determine what play off of 
size vs visual clarity you find acceptable.
