Huge o/p files when converting to pdf

[inphoenix]

I can create a .rar file. Will this work?

its not listed so I don't think so - what OS are you using - you can zip in windows XP without any additional software [so I guess vista too]

I'm using xp pro sp2. What command do I use to zip??? I've never done it. Only unzipped. :-)

right click on the desk top and then new>compressed[zipped] folder give it a name - then copy your cdr file in

Here is the zip which is now 8KB, the original .cdr is 16Kb and here is the o/p .pdf file which is 231KB... Quite a difference huh????

Inphoenix,

If I open your CDR file and re-PDF it with my settings at embed fonts, it comes out at approx 11.7kb, I assume the convert text to curves is the culprit for the large file size, as you have used Arial, any PC should open the document as well.

Try it, hope this helps - George
