Hi James,

Thank you so much for responding! Your suggestions were very helpful. I've watched your “Interactive Documents and Presentations” training videos a bunch of times—they've been my only introduction to that whole dimension of InDesign so I am very grateful for how comprehensive and easy-to-follow they are. :)

I redid the JPG pass-through filter properly and shaved off another 6MBs. Woohoo! You can access the new file through this link by clicking “Bring the zine to life!” https://brila.org/zines/feature-zine/

Are you planning on doing any other interactive InD trainings for Lynda.com? Or do you do similar training elsewhere?

Thanks again! Very appreciative of you taking the time to write. You're an awesome instructor!

Natalie
