All,

I work in an agency where for the past 10 years we have used Pagemaker for all of our literature. We have created PDF's from PM for use on our web site. The process was flawless and file size of the PDF's were very small.

We have now upgraded to InDesign 2.0. Although I can "Open" the Pagemaker files in ID there are some slight changes in formatting, etc. I digress, when I save and then export the PDF's from ID, the file sizes are 3 to 4 times larger then their previous Pagemaker PDF's. Our divisions are not happy with the download time for the web application and I was hoping for some insight as to why and what ID is doing to make "the same file" that much larger.

Just a FYI, I'm not a novice and have been using the "screen" export setting as well as customizing the resolutions for the images, etc. I have removed bookmarks, etc. in trying to rid the PDF of any residule information.

I have also opened the PDF and used the "reduce file size" although it helps a little, the files are not even close to the Pagemaker PDF's that where previously created.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm assuming it's a ID issue and was wondering if anyone had run into the same problem.

Thanks
E
