I know this will probably lead to a long discussion rather than a straight and forward answer but.....
Is there a formula for calculating the size (MB) of what a PDF document should be? 1 page with multiple graphics for print should equal - ??? What about if it is going to be emailed or posted to a website?
More specifically, I am creating an 8 page, image intensive, brochure for a client in Illustrator and Photoshop I was able to get the source files down to a manageable size but when I export to PDF they are still rather large. The client insists on having it be smaller than 2MB. Is this reasonable? I look forward to everyones comments and thank you in advance for helping out a newbie.
A.
Formula- No.
Smallest size file you can get- Use the Optimizer in Acrobat.
Is 2MB reasonable? Too vague to answer, although I have seen many rich media PDFs and brochures that were much larger.
Hope this helps,
