wesleyw Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 We create a newsletter each term for the pupils to take home to their parents/guardians this newsletter has been getting steadily bigger each term (File size not pages ) Which means it take a very long time to send to the printer. No we've managed to reduce the file from 28mb to 10mb but when it goes to the printer its about 40mb is there anyway of reducing this stopping it or making it go away? lol Wes
Dos_Box Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Publisher (all varients is evil) It gets large because it converts everything to a bitmap. Publisher 2000 is the most evil (IMHO).
wesleyw Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 Yeah 2000 files converted by publisher reduce by a considerable amount still not good enough though why oh why can't they use jpegs? Wes

Budget Officer uses this on her laptop when generating large reports saves lumping round reams of paper http://www.pdfmachine.com/ It think it's freeware
wesleyw Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 OKay so that brought a 25mb 2 page document down to <700kb but still it appears to be printing slowly not sure why though! Wes
ChrisC Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 How do you mean? Its slow getting to the printer? is it networked or local? Chris
wesleyw Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 Kyocera C8008DN - Networked Slow Spool rate but also once done takes a very long time to print out! Wes
