Thanks for the reply Jane,
Yes, I am creating the entire document in
Photoshop. I normally design the page one layer at a time, then
merge them all to create a final flat image / document. A lot of graphics
and photo manipulation is carried out.
The final PDF file (created either directly
through Photoshop or by third party software) is fine as long as the file
size is 500kb minimum.
If I try and save below this file size
then the PDF file becomes pixelated and unprofessional looking.
I am trying to create a file size that is easily
emailable - approx 100kb to 200kb, but keeping the near same quality as the
final image ... or any PDF brouchure that you may see.
The client I am designing this page for wishes to
email the brouchure out to friends, family and other potential clients, and
wishes to have the final copy in PDF format .. .which I can understand her
doing ... but I can't get the file size down without risking the quality of
the whole document.
Anybody know how the professionals are able to
get a full colour brouchure onto a resonable sized PDF file? Jane,
unfortunately it is not as easy as just text only ... I would most probably
create that in Word or Quark.
Thanks again.....
Regards,
andy....

Subject: RE: [PDF-Basics] Photoshop to
PDF
Are
you creating the entire document, including text, in Photoshop? What part of
the document is poor quality--the text, the images, or
both?
If
it's the text, don't create it in Photoshop.

I am hoping to create an A4 colour document
in Photoshop, saved as a PDF file, preferably with a file size under 250kb
- which is emailable and printable for either a home or office
printer.
I initially used 300dpi, but have dropped it
to 200dpi as it is not going to print, but to a lan or home
printer.
I have tried all sorts of options, but I only
manage to obtain a poor quality document.
