Extremely big MIF file size!

Hello

I'm working on a .fm file. The size of this file is 3.738 KB. It's composed by 73 A4 pages with tables, text and referenced images.

When I'm trying to save as mif, it generates a 44,1 MB .mif file.

Initially was an external work, and the designer embebed the images. Later, I repaired all images to change them into referenced files.

Could it be the problem? I don't know what to do. I need to separate .fm files for having <5 MB MIF files. A 44 MB file is a giant file!!!!!

Thanks.

Raul,

MIF files are usually a lot larger then their binary FM counterparts, a factor of 10 is no surprise to me.

Why would you need files below 5 MByte? You can easily ZIP them down to that size, I would guess.

I must send mif files to other people who works over across. They told me not to send files higher than 5 MB for the Across translation. I don't know exactly why, just follow orders. They didn't reply my questions.

Thank you

If you're sending the file via e-mail, that may be why there is a 5 MB limit. The recipient's e-mail account may not be able to accept a larger file.
