    Angry PDF File size too large

    I am running ACAD 2004, Windows XP, Service pack 2, Adobe Standard 6.0. I have a drawing of an elevation of a building that has been shaded with solid hatches for a presentation. I also used a jpg and super hatch command to shade the brick facade. The drawing file size in ACAD is 786Kb but when I go to plot the drawing to PDF file the file size jumps to 124-139Meg. Anyone have any thoughts to why this happening? I have purged the drawing of all unused layers, blocks,etc. Recover command revels no errors. But every time I go to plot his thing to PDF it crashes. Anyone? Anyone? thanks in advance.

    Can you make an adjustment to the resolution od the PDF file in Adobe Standard? I don't think it's an ACAD issue, but your superhatching is probably bloating the PDF file.

    I originally had the dpi on the plot set to presentation 600dpi. I set the resolution down to normal 300 dpi but it still crashes. Maybe it is gremlins? You know 11th hour stuff that happens right before a big presentation.....you have just got to love it!!!!!

    Question Re: PDF File size too large

    File-->eTransmit

    Would it be possible to sent to to me?

    I would like to give it a try and what size I get at 300 and 600 dpi.
