I am working on some Editable PDF files. When I save them as a PDF from indesign the PDF file size is 94KB but once I put the editable areas (text) in the PDF document the file size increases to 1.6MB. I have tried the reduced file size option and the optimize PDF option but both don't reduce the file size. I want to put the PDF files on Linkedin so need the file sizes to be smaller. Does anyone know how to make editable PDFs smaller in file size? Thanks in advance.
This explains the file size. Acrobat embeds this 2 large fonts.

What would reduce the file size, would a different font help?

I thought it might take out the editable fields functionality but it didn't and it's looking great. I went from 3MBs to 280kb.
