: Very small file size PDF's from InDesign, am I doing something wrong? I am creating a 12 page booklet, 120 x 180mm. All pages are text only except for the front cover which includes a PSD

Depending on the resolution of the psd background and its contents, this could very well be right. Text and vectors don't take up a lot of space by themselves, especially when optimised as in a pdf. If the visible parts of your psd happen to lend themselves well to compression, you may just have a perfectly fine file.

One thing you could check is the psd's actual resolution. You can find this in the Links palette in InDesign by selecting the line with the *.psd and twirling open the triangle at the bottom of the palette:



In the list of data that appears, check effective PPI. If that is 300 or higher, you are fine.
