Hi: I've been using a script that ends off printing out a file using the PDF export preference for the Smallest File Size. Unfortunately, I'm having to alter the script because we're using an OPI server and I need to do some swap outs, so I'm trying to set the PDF Export Preferences as close to Smallest File Size as I can get. What I'm winding up with, however, is producing files twice as big as they use to be (I haven't even started dealing with the OPI issue -- this is just trying to replicate the Smallest File Size preset as a set of PDF export preferences). Here's what's in my preferences at the moment. Can anyone see something that would account for the larger file sizes I'm seeing? tell PDF export preferences set page range to all pages set acrobat compatibility to acrobat 5 set export guides and grids to false set export layers to false set export nonprinting objects to false set export reader spreads to false set generate thumbnails to false set optimize PDF to true try set ignore spread overrides to false end try set include bookmarks to false set include hyperlinks to false try set include ICC profiles to false end try set include structure to false set interactive elements to false set subset fonts below to 0 set color bitmap compression to Automatic JPEG 2000 set color bitmap quality to low set color bitmap sampling to bicubic downsample set color bitmap sampling DPI to 100 set threshold to compress color to 150 set grayscale bitmap compression to Automatic JPEG 2000 set grayscale bitmap quality to low set grayscale bitmap sampling to bicubic downsample set grayscale bitmap sampling DPI to 150 set threshold to compress gray to 225 set monochrome bitmap compression to CCIT4 set monochrome bitmap sampling to bicubic downsample set monochrome bitmap sampling DPI to 300 set threshold to compress monochrome to 450 --Other compression options. set compression type to Compress None set compress text and line art to true set content to embed to Embed All set crop images to frames to true --Printers marks and prepress options. set bleed marks to false set color bars to false --Color tile size and gray tile size are not used --unless the compression method chosen is JPEG 2000. --set color tile size to 256 --set Gray tile size to 256 set crop marks to false set omit bitmaps to false set omit EPS to false set omit PDF to false set page information marks to false set page marks offset to "12 pt" set PDF color space to unchanged color space set PDF mark type to default set printer mark weight to p125pt set registration marks to false --simulate overprint is only available when the export standard is PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-3 --set simulate overprint to false --Set viewPDF to true to open the PDF in Acrobat or Adobe Reader. set view PDF to false end tell
