Hi All,
At work I need to convert a powerpoint template that we have to pdfs before I send them to a client. Until late last year, converting a powerpoint to a pdf changed the size from 27.5MB to 18.3MB. This was fine as it is below the G-Mail limit of 25MB per attachment.
At some point though, a series of updates came out including one for PowerPoint. After this, the size of the file went from 15.5MB (smaller than before) to just over 25MB (larger than before). To fix this I used a quartz filter that reduced the file size, which reduced the pdf to 3.5MB, but made the pictures slightly blurry (but not so blurry that we found it unacceptable to send out).
Now an update has just come out, where the conversion results in the pdf being nearly 45MB in size. Using the quartz filter on this makes the pictures look terrible, and we can't send it to the clients. The template that we use hasn't been changed, nor has the process with changing it for each client (just inserting names and amounts), so I can't understand why exporting as a pdf now results in the file tripling in size rather than getting smaller.
Is there any way that this can fixed such that I don't have to change the content in the ppt template or send it as a Google Drive link? Is there a way to adjust the Quartz filter such that I can limit the reduction to the file size so that the pictures aren't compromised?
Many Thanks,
Joe.
