Illustrator CS5 - save small PDF files

Posted by Unknown Minggu, 14 Oktober 2012 0 komentar

Often when using Illustrator you need to create a PDF copy of your illustration. You may need to share it with colleagues or a customer, perhaps for their input. The resulting PDF file can be very big and difficult to e-mail. You could of course use Skydrive, Dropbox, Google Drive or similar. But you can also reduce the size of the PDF substantially - here's how:

Open your Illustrator .ai file (always keep this file safe, it's your master file)
Click File | Save a Copy
Change 'Save as Type' to Adobe PDF
Click Save
Change 'Adobe PDF Preset' to Smallest File Size
Click Save PDF

Illustrator Adobe PDF Preset - Smallest File Size

In my tests I found that with the Default setting I had a 6MB file. With the Smallest File Size setting I had a 110KB file!!! That's a small fraction of the file size.

IMPORTANT!!!

The Smallest File Size PDF will be great for on-screen viewing. However, for printing the quality will NOT be perfect. Change it back to the Default setting if you want high quality for printing.
