Anyone know how to create a portfolio PDF but make it small enough to send. Tried reducing the image sizes but still can’t get it under 3MB

  • Have you tried Adobe Acrobat's Preflight>Optimise command? It's probably one of the most comprehensive methods and it'll give you a detailed report. Just checked to give you an idea - mine is 4.9MB, but includes a couple GIFs & videos with sound, so if yours is static I can't imagine you should have trouble getting it under that. :-)
  • You could export it as a interactive PDF and from the menu go to Compression and set the ppi to 150, which should be more than enough to have images viewed on a Hi-Res monitor to come out crisp.
  • Hi, if you are saving it from Indesign go Export > Compression and you can adjust the jpeg settings from there (try medium quality insteaf of high etc). Hope this helps!
