Re: Size limits on mwiki for uploaded files are too small

Best, Dave Sent from my iPhone Dave, Because we use the default PDFA-1 to create the PDF files from OpenOffice, it is not unusual to have chapter files over 5MB. The real problem comes in when we create the PDF for the complete book. I do have PDF compression software to compress them.Currently the full book for the Getting Started Guide is 38MB. I was able to compress that down to 12.7MB. Considering that the other guides full book files may be larger, at this point I believe a 20MB limit is a good compromise. How does this sound to you?

Even using the PDF compression software I have many are still over that, and it is slowing down the process of getting Chapter files for the Writer Guide published to the miki. Could you please set that limit back to the 50MB as you did before.
