Pdf file in 2007 is too big

[Terri]

I was using MSP 2003 and when creating a pdf file, the file was about 2mg.
After upgrading to MSP 2007 using the same schedule file saved as a 2007 mpp,
the pdf is now 17mg. No new activities or resources were added, only applied
weekly progress. No other schedule changes. Does anyone know why the pdf
size is so much larger in 2007?

Can't imagine why - file size is usually a function of the resolution used
when generating the PDF. There was a known issue with the 3D bars in 2007
interfering with rendering in Adobe, but I don't think that caused bloated
file sizes.

Try turning off the 3D bars in Tools Options > View and see if that does
anything.

I did go in and turn off the 3d Bar Styles but pdf file is still over 10mg
when it was only 3mg.

You don't say how you are creating the PDF. If you are using Adobe
Acrobat, check out the settings used to make the PDF. There are a lot
of settings which can have an impact on size. Acrobat also has a
facility to reduce the size of PDF (under the Document menu as I recall).
