Good Morning - I have recently converted to X4 from ver. 12 and I am having problems when publishing to PDF with file size. Previously when using ver. 12 my PDF would rarely come out over 1MB in size now they are converting to between 3 and 12 MBs. Can anyone help me get these down to previous size. Most files I need to convert are for client approval and contain both bitmap and vector images. I need to keep the vector images vector and cannot present them as jpeg.
Any help would be great - thanks.

Hi Ronny - Thanks for the reply. I have been trying several options within the PDF dialog to try and solve this. Currently I have been using the web preset which then sets the JPEG compression ant about 100 & the color and greyscale downsampling to 96 with the mono at 120. The test document that I have been using is a 10 page package of different signs that are then shown rendered to photos for placement approval. so I have about 14 photos in the doc.
This is the sixth revision of this project, so I am able to compare file size to some prevoiusly done in ver.12 that are generally the same except for coming out of the different versions of Corel. The 4th rev. which has the last to come out of 12 was 2.96 mb I cant get this current one coming out of X4 below 11.0MBs.
Do you have any other suggestions that may help? I am desperate as I want to stay current yet I MUST be able to easily transmit files back and forth between client and myself.
Thanks again for the reply

A longshot: if you select a PDf standard like X-3, the active separations color profile will be included in the file and those are often a couple of megabytes. Try to shut color management off or specify no color profile in the PDF settings and check if that does something with the file size.
