P: Exporting Artboards to PDF are much larger in file size

When exporting artboards to PDF, the files are coming out very large, ex. 13.5mb for 3 email banners? This didn't happen w/2017. Is there a way to adjust the PDF output?

            This is great, can you please get this fix into Photoshop?

            I had to search for a solution to this issue 3 years later because the script in Photoshop 2020 hasn't been updated.

            This super simple demonstration went from an insane 370MB PDF down to 2.7MB with this fix.

            As stated for Adobe PDF too, working with PDF Files in the Adobe universe is painful.
            Please work on the UI and pdf filesizes in photoshop with exporting artboards. Why does it even need a special Export feature for this? Why can't I save Artboards as Pages to a Photoshop PDF in the save dialog? Why can't it use presets as in every other adobe tool too?

            In the end I have to buy and use third party tools like pdf squeezer (for mac).
            One click, and it shrinks 18 MB photoshop pdf to 600 KB! Without lowering the quality!!

            Adobe please work on your UI and make features consistent between tools.
