Graphic Elements in Frame 9 Template

[DeRosier, Edward]

Hi Pete,

Regarding your long printing times and large PDF file sizes:

In addition to the suggestions of other list members, I suggest that you
seek additional methods to reduce your Illustrator file sizes.  For
example, if your AI file uses multiple layers, keep those layers for
convenient image modifications, but save a new file for import to
FrameMaker.  Use the Illustrator flatten image function to reduce the
image to a single layer.  

Each drawing feature (Richard Combs mentioned gradient fills) may have
file-size effects that you need to minimize.

My 2 cents,
