Question

Compress PDF box is missing from options

Hi, I have Illustrator 2022 which is the newest version, obviously. I need to save my work as a PDF, but more specifically as a compressed PDF, but that box is missing from the options. It does appear if I save the file as an AI file, so I am not sure how to get that option to show for a PDF. Can you help?

Thanks!

Your compression options should appear after you click Save As PDF. Is this not happening?

No, I cannot get the compression option to appear at all. I clicked file>save as>saved to my computer>selected PDF>clicked save>then illustrator options pop up and there is no compress PDF box. See screenshot:

 

Any ideas?

The compression option is just below the "General" option.

You can also use Acrobat to compress a pdf (File> Save as other> Optimized pdf).
