MS Word with table creates large pdf file

John Scholz · Post by **John Scholz** » Wed Sep 15 2004

Using MS Word 2000 in Windows 2000. When my Word document (48 Kb) contains a table, the resulting PDF file (3.0 MB) is enormous. A small PDF file is obtained when no table is present. Thanks for your help.

Hello,

You can use Remove Duplicate Images feature when generating the pdf file to ensure that no duplicates images are being created in the document. This will lower the file size considerably.

Hope this helps.

Joan:

The file went from 3 Mb to 34 Kb. Another file went from 11 Mb to 188 Kb. With out a doubt, you are the PDF Goddess! Thank you very much!
