When I make a lo res pdf they are almost the same size as a print quality...Any answers on why?

    for example, maybe your PDF contains only text (without any photo)

    Thanks everyone. Figured it out. I needed to make an Interactive PDF instead of a print PDF. Problem solved. Most of these PDFs are being attached to emails.

    It is all text, so the pdf should come out much smaller. I am currently on the latest version of InDesign. I have set the dpi at 72 on color and greyscaled. Nothing will reduce these file. Old files similar to this one were coming out under 100kb. Now when I make these same files in lower dpi they are 500kb. I have tried everything...can anyone help?

    Open your pdf in acrobat and then file - save as other - reduced size pdf

    Choose for example Acrobat 9.0 and later...

    Info from adobe site:

    ...

    If you’re certain that all your users use Acrobat DC or Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, limiting compatibility to the latest version can further reduce file size....

    Ok?
