growing .pdf files

[livi2621]

I have a problem with an Access query that prints to a .pdf file. We have been running this query for years, and for some unknown reason the .pdf files are starting to grow in size... They started at around 4KB - 30KB. They are currently coming out around 30KB - 80KB. We have not changed anything in the code for these queries, and I am starting to get concerned that we will eventually run out of space in our Shared File Area. I don't have the slightest clue where to begin to look at this problem. If anyone could help me out, or at least point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

I am going to answer my own question, just in case someone rund=s into the same problem.... The settings in Acrobat Distiller apparently can be changed by merely opening a .pdf file that has different settings. In other words, even if you have not changed the settings, you should still periodically check them to make sure that they haven't changed. In my case the settings had changed from secrren optimized to print optimized.

Hey there... In acrobat distiller, there is an item in the settings pull-down menu called 'job options', where you tell it screen or print optomized... You can also save these options for custom settings. Depending on your needs, you can DELETE the ones you don't need.... There is a settings folder in the acrobat distiller folder.... If I didn't need to use it for print, I would delete everything but screen optomized to ensure that it won't default to print settings... Best of luck!
