Reducing file size

[Mohsen5EA5]

There is a 3-words sentence with a very huge font size so that the volume of the file became over than 20 MB.

Is there a way to reduce the size of the file without chabging in sentence size?

I Outlined the sentence but it reduce the file size a little.

Is there anything else in the file? The size of the font shouldn't matter.

[Mohsen5EA5]

Yes, the rest of the file is about 41 MB with a lot of objects and I want to know if reducing this huge text’s size possible or not?

It's unlikely that reducing the text in any way, shape or form will have any impact. Some data structures in AI fiules simply are a bit chunky and anchor points and paths will always have a certain complexity. If at all, I would imagine that you may turn of the PDF compatibility on saving at the risk that your file may not open correctly in other versions of  AI or other programs. Getting rid of the PDF data can be meaningful, but comes at a price.

Do you mean I should turn off “PDF Compatiblity” while saving the file as ai format? How? How can it be turned off?

I found it.

Can you tell me what this option (Create PDF Compatible File) do and what is it good for? What do I loss with unchecking it.

Thank you very much.
