Re: [Inkscape-user] Reducing the pdf in size.

I'd recommend saving as png and then resaving as pdf if you need to. It's going to be more accurately printed, most likely, and probably a good bit smaller than 16mb.

Just finished my first Inkscape book cover. The pdf is huge, over 16 mb. Can anyone suggest a way to reduce it? I tried changing the dpi for rasterization from 600 dpi to 300 dpi and it just got bigger! Next step I will reduce the background image in Gimp, reimport, and see what happens.
