Home Forums Mac Software Mac Applications PDFs Gaining Weight

This seems to be something new as I don't recall having the problem before. I also can't think of anything I'm doing differently.

I received a 12 page PDF and dragged a single page to the desktop where it was opened in Graphic converter and some editing done. No new material added, just re-arranging existing images. The edited file was saved in a folder under a new name.

I do remember that, when saving, I got a dialogue box saying something about having to flatten an alpha channel. I just agreed.

The new file is gigantic. Where the 12 page PDF was 1.5 megs, the new single page exceed 14 megs.

Why am I not saving at a much smaller size?
