    File size becomes five times as big..?

    Posted by Tsua Coola on January 8, 2013 at 10:29 am

    I have created an A4 page in indesign with one jpg on it, the jpg is around 5mb. I use indesign to add crop marks for printing, but for some reason when I export it as a pdf it becomes 25mb. How can I reduce the file size without losing quality?

    Thanks for any help!! 🙂

    G’day

    25MB certainly sounds excessive for a one page PDF.
    What export settings are you using and what is the final purpose of the PDF?
    Play around with the ‘compression’ settings in your export preferences.
