Hi, I created a one page flyer with only one image and text. This image is 3.5 mb Jpeg! In addition to this, I have some svg icons. Well, when I export Interactive PDF in 300ppi, JPEG 2000, everything Maximum, I get a 1mb file, wich quality is perfect for me. Now, when I export as PDF Print and use compression X1A-2001 (Printer Requirements), without tweaking anything and using only blled marks, I get a 600k size file. Anyone has any idea if this is normal? Thank you

The (Interactive) format does not have the same optimization options as the (Print) format. "Compress Text and Line Art" and "Crop Image Data to Frames" are available in (Print) format, and may be the reason for your size discrepancy.

    Thank you! Hope my printer will be ok with 600k file size. Seems so small!
