FM12: PDF file size exploding

[David Spreadbury]

Lin,I just tested your issue opening a 12 page text only structured FM7.2 file and saving it as FM12.Did nothing more than open the FM7.2 in FM12 and then save it as a FM12 document.Printed FM12 version using Acro XI Adobe PDF driver.Distilled postscript to PDF.FM7.2 file size=358KB Acro 8 PDF=207KBFM12 file size=8630KB Acro XI PDF=278KBThis was one chapter of a 30+ chapter book.The Acro8 PDF of the book is 3025KB.I can open and update all the chapters, but with only 70KB increase in one chapter, I would expect a slight increase in the book, but nothing like you are experiencing.

 The PDF has to be posted as a shared review on a cloud web storage site. There's a size limit to what you can upload. My company is using corporate GMAIL and I have a 30Gb limit on storage, and for now I have to attach a shared review enabled PDF to an email to allow reviewers to join the review*. Admittedly, this one file isn't going to break either of those limits, but it's not something I can keep doing for a long period of time. Plus the sudden increase in size worries me. If there's a problem with the files, I need to find it before things get hosed (and yes, I did run all the files through a MIF wash).

*I will be testing setting up a shared review by storing the shared review PDF on the cloud drive and sending a link instead, but until I do, I know this works.

Not to minimize your question, but...

With the cost of computer storage running about $0.10 per gigabyte for hard disk or $0.50 per gigabyte for SSD, I'm not sure it's worthwhile worrying about 10 MB more or less. That's less than 1/2 cent's worth of storage space. Unless you know your documents are going to be posted on a website where a significant number of users do not have anything resembling broadband access, spending more than a few seconds worrying about 10 MB in file size does not yield a good return on investment.

Has anyone had an issue with the size of a generated PDF increasing dramatically after moving a book from FM10 to FM12 (or any earlier version of FM to FM12)?

I've got a book that's gone from under 3M to over 12M, and that's AFTER running the Save as Reduced Size.

Is this a bug, have I not set something up in either FM12 or Acrobat 10 correctly, or is there a solution?

Thanks,
