File Compression Help
I need to email a fairly small text file (four A4 pages consisting of 2300 words, and three fonts) as a PDF, but when I go to convert it, it ends up as a 5–7 mB behemoth. I have done hundreds of conversions of text files before; some that include complex images and tables, and I have never encountered this problem in the past. When I converted my +300-page dissertation into a PDF, it resulted in a very reasonable 1.3 mB file. I have attempted to compress using my word processor, Adobe Acrobat, and Stuffit Deluxe, but the smallest I can get the thing is 5.5 mB. What is going on?
Any ideas why, or any thoughts about how to reduce this to a manageable size? I REALLY hate emailing such large items, so any help on this would be most appreciated.
