[dba-Tech] Adobe InDesign to pdf

[Tina Norris Fields]

Hi Jim,

It was, indeed, in the compression settings.  I'm now using the "high 
quality" compression mode. This simple change resulted in producing a 
12MB pdf from the same InDesign document that had produced a 600MB pdf.  
Absolutely mind blowing difference!
