: Reducing InDesign Export in Pixels I created a very long booklet in Indesign which I created in 4000 x 3000 pixels. I am trying to reduce it by half in pixels so that the size of the file
I created a very long booklet in Indesign which I created in 4000 x 3000 pixels.
I am trying to reduce it by half in pixels so that the size of the file comes down dramatically as I am trying to get it into a size that looks fine and I can email it. At the moment it is 44mb.
If I change the JPG to lower it effects banding on graduated colour images so I'd prefer to reduce the pixel size instead so that I dont get the banding.
I have been trying to fiddle around with alternative layout but it seems to screw it all up.
Many thanks for any help :)

I would suggest that aside from reducing the booklet size in half, or whatever smaller size you deem feasible enough, you should take a look at your exporting options for preview documents.
You can do this by choosing [Smallest File Size] from the the pdf export presets.
You can also try to down sample the images to maybe say 72 ppi through the automatic compression and quality selection panels during export.
If it is still too large in size you can try reducing the file size through Acrobat. You can do this by choosing Document > Reduce File Size, and specify the compatibility level (not too sure if selecting an older version would necessarily result in a smaller file but you can try). For more advanced settings you can try the PDF Optimizer.
I hope this helps.
