      I have a client who wants her 8-page booklet in a mobile-friendly format.

      It’s a 9mb pdf, even exported as smallest file size.

      I can get it to 5mb with zip compression, but there has to be a better way. Help? Please and thank you!

      Does she need to retain vector data? If not, export it as JPGs or PNGs

      For a PDF:
      Color: Your images should be RGB, no Spot Colors, no Color Conversion in PDF Export, and Export as newest Acrobat version.
      If you have a lot of images that are scaled down in InDesign, you should try scaling the images (in Photoshop, etc) down and re-importing so they’re close to 100% in InDesign.

      Hard to tell without seeing it, but sometimes saving all your vector data as JPG or PNG, then placing them back in behind your text will get the file size down.

      She doesn’t need vector data – I don’t think she has any print plans at all – it’s just a little free download for her time management clients. probably most often viewed on an iPad, perhaps…

      Good Lord. The forest for the trees. I used a huge .eps file several times. hello, photoshop. Sorry, everybody. I’m quite pink in the face.
