I tried that at first but didn't work, I figured out the problem, it was a .PDF advertisement in the magazine that couldn't be compressed. The way to solve this is to save an interactive (!) PDF and watch the loading screen. Then analyze which site takes way longer to save and on that site there may be some images/advertisements that cannot be automatically compressed. I changed the ad from .pdf to .PSD and now it works.

Hello there and thanks already for reading! A client of mine wants to have a web PDF of their magazine, usually the size is around 12 MB for around 60 pages. This time, however, I'm having problems getting the file size down even when I export it with the preset smallest file size and lower the compression to 72dpi and the quality of the photos to low: For 68 pages I end up with a PDF of ~34 MB. Anyone have any ideas why this could be and what I could do to lower the file size? Thanks 🙂

o m g guys, I've finally found the solution/the problem. In my document, the colored part was still an outline. So, I've expanded the appearance to make it a shape. Doing this messed with the colors (in the .ai file!). But after having it expanded and assigned the correct swatch to it, the colors match in the exported JPEG. No idea why Illustrator does this, but if you ever have this error - this might be the cause. Thanks for your help!!

I open it with Photoshop and measure the color with the Eyedropper although the difference is already obvious if I simply look at the JPEG. I've tried all three ways of exporting the JPEG and numerous settings... all with the same results. 😞

By the way, always when I close and open the programme again, it goes back to 'Untagged RGB'. Thanks so much guys for your patience, btw, I really hope I find a way to solve this 'cause I've never seen anything like this happening... even without Bridge.

@Test_Screen_Name: What do you mean by 'Press'? As far as I'm concerned CMYK is still the standard for all print use and I'm several years in as a designer. @Ton_Frederiks: Oh perfect, thanks, didn't see that! Now that I've activated it, it says 'Untagged RGB' which is definitely concerning. So, I tried forcing it to be an sRGB document by using Edit > Assign profile which seemed to work - at least it said so in the lower bar. Still, when I turn it into a JPEG it has the same, wrong color values when I measure them with Photoshop. I tried a couple of other profiles, Adobe RGB etc. and the colors vary but - and this is the interesting part - are always (almost) the same values when measured in Ps.

@Ton_Frederiks: In Edit > Color Settings my Working Space is set to sRGB. I have posted a picture of all my color settings in the very first post. Could you maybe elaborate on how to check 'if your Document Color Profile is the same as your RGB Working Space'. That might be the problem but I don't know how to check that. @Test_Screen_Name: I meant if sRGB isn't the Illustrator standard for documents set as RGB via File > Document Color Mode

Is there no possibility to work outside of Bridge? Like, shouldn't sRGB be the standard for the Illustrator anyway? Or is there a way to set it as the standard without using Bridge? I'm kinda hesitant to install it again, Bridge used to cause some problems in an earlier set-up.

As far as I know 'Do not Color Match this Document' as selected is the preferred variable but I tried it with color matching as well and it didn't work either.

So, I have a strange problem and think I've tried anything possible but it still occurs: I have a RGB document using only RGB colors. Everything is fine EXCEPT for when I try to export a RGB JPG. It completely changes they values of the color. It should be 130|40|130 and when I open an exported JPG in Photoshop and use the eyedropper tool it measures 146|67|146. I've tried all three modes of exporting the image, with/without ICC profile. Color Management is turned off for this document (Edit > Assign Profile), and my color settings are attatched. Anyone have an idea what might be going on? Thanks!
