Reply To: Method or plugin to export optimized PDFs?

Cheers, the images were the culprit. I have a placed PDF where part of its background image is masked. The PDF is just 150kb without the image. The image itself is under a meg also. The instant I put the masked image into the PDF in illustrator? Bam, 7.7 megs. It makes no sense.

So I just run the optimizer on these PDFs that eventually get placed, and my exported pdfs are under a meg now. Good enough.

Thanks again!
