Reply To: Exported PDF file is huge

But that isn’t just a table; that was a huge very complicated table with thousands of strokes on each page.
Maybe you could simplify the table? Or maybe you could try making the table on its own page, then exporting it as a PDF and placing that PDF into your document (so it is a single graphic that is repeated for each page). I’m not sure if that will work. Or maybe create it with lines in a grid instead of table strokes.
