Hi
I have a pdf that was produced out of indesign which referenced in illustrator work but it is composed of many layers and a tone of vector linework and my printer says the file is so heavy it is crashin their machine. I'm able to print the document in my office, though it is quite clunky. I'm wondering what optimizations I should take to make it more manageable.
It seems, that flattening is only an option if I were to downsave to an older ps dependent version of the pdf format. Is there a more current version that will preserve appearance but cimplify layers - Specifically, there is alot of information that is simply covered by other objects which could easily be removed without being visible. I can do this manually, but it would be more ideal if an optimization process could sort out which information can actually be discarded....any tips are very much appreciated
thanks
There's no point in trying to preserve any of the "new" features - if what you're looking at can't exist on a sheet of paper, it has no business being in the document sent to the printer.
