Indesign creating huge file sizes when exporting

[sarahpeller]

I've been using Indesign for a long time and have never had these problems before. Suddenly when I export a pdf, they are all exporting to very large sizes. I just went into an old file and updated 2 photos (replaced them with slightly different ones). This should have produced a file that was pretty much the same size as the previous version, once I exported to pdf. The older version file size was 972 KB. This latest one that I just saved was 198 MB.

None of my files seem to be embedded... I'm not seeing the embedded file icon next to any of them.

What could be causing this? I'm having weird troubles with all of my Adobe Programs right now and this one seemed to crop up at the same time. People have been suggesting that maybe I need a new graphics card. Could this sort of issue be related?

Thanks for you your help!

Okay, that makes sense now. Yup, an autumn forest, not a frozen lake.

Thanks for your time and help.
