How to get newsletter on the web

[Kristie Cochran]

We currently publish a newsletter that is 16 ~ 20 pages. Our January
newsletter was 16 pages and the pub file (pub 2002) is 25mb. I can save it
as a PDF file and it shrinks it to 7.5mb. If I save all the pages as jpegs,
reduce them to 75dpi and then save as a PDF, then we're down to 3.5mb.

Is this my best option? I'd like to be able to get the file size even
smaller. I am saving the pages as 8.5 x 11 pages. Should I make them
smaller than that? We're just getting started with a website and would like
to put up our newsletters, but I'd like to get them small enough so that
folks on dialup don't have to wait forever and a day to load the newsletter.

Thanks,
Kristie

Hi Don,

I'll take a look. How big is your pub file though? Like I said in my
message, mine is 25mb, so I'll see if PDF-XChange will make it any smaller
than 7.5mb.

I currently use the freeware PDFCreator,
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ to create my PDFs. If
PDF-XChange can do a better job, then I'll purchase it. I do have the site
bookmarked from an earlier post on this board.
