Question

PDF into INDD into PDF size problem

So this is a bit of a specific problem, after I imported 3 different PDF files into INDD and then exported it back to PDF, the file got to 200MB while the 3PDFs combined are 20MB.

What I think is happening here is that for every page in INDD where the PDF is imported it imports the whole PDF file while just showing the page I wanted to import, at least the math adds up.

Don't think so - it's probably your compression settings for exporting your new PDF.

Try different PDF settings and compression levels.

I mean there is nothing to compress, evrything is vector.

EDIT: I compressed every image to be at 10DPI and the file size did not change at all

Inspiring

"I mean there is nothing to compress, everything is vector." and "I compressed everything to be at 10DPI"?

If everything is vector, there's no such thing as DPI or PPI. Otherwise, you might have rasterized it unadvertedly?
