i'm a newbie in photoshop and i want to create a PDF output from my PSD file , the problem is when i set best settings in save as PDF i get a very good quality but the file is a little big about 8MB for the pdf ==> i don't know if the printer can print this file because it's take a time to get loaded in a pdf reader (adobe & foxit)

the second solution i have done is by choosing to save as pdf in minimal size i get less than 1 mb for the pdf but the image quality is terrible

update : the document that i'm working in is a CV/RESUME so i need to post it on the web for jobs interviews that way i need less size for the outputted PDF.
Any hints ? thanks .

When dealing with print production, file size (kb) is generally not even looked at. It's unimportant. Print files will always be larger and it really doesn't matter how large they are.

8MB is nothing. Print production PDFs can easily reach three or four figure MB ranges for file sizes.

The notion that all files need to be small is purely a web/UI notion. There's no need to concern yourself at all with the file size of a PDF for print production other than perhaps "can you send this" via email/FTP/upload forms, etc. (Some email servers have restrictions on file sizes, that's really the only concern there'd be.)

The reality is a print-production PDF which is too small could be an indicator of an incorrectly formatted PDF. Not in most cases, but that can be a reality at times.
