When I print an InDesign file as a PDF, the pdf file is huge  22,000KB when normally it is about 425KB).  I am converting as I always have without changing any settings.  The InDesign file is not larger than normal either. Suggestions?  Thanks

    What version of InDesign? What operating system?

    Did you use File > Print and then select a PostScript or Adobe PDF? Did you choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print)?

    Exactly what settings did you use?

    How many pages? How many images?

    If you have Acrobat Pro, open the Optimize PDF tool > Click Advanced Optimization. In the PDF Optimizer dialog box, click Audit Space Usage (at the upper right) and make a screen capture.
