PDF file is larger than DWG file - that's not right

Can anyone tell me what to do to reduce the file size of PDF's created by "export"
This is in Basic 2D v16 of Brics

  • Maybe review your options under PDF in "Export Options". Image compression, DPI, etc.

  • There is no real fair comparison of DWG size to PDF. A DWG could be bloated with non-graphical data that never makes it to a PDF. So the only somewhat fair comparison is creation of PDF files with different drivers. I opened a drawing with vectors, truetype mtext and a few images. The built in driver created a 238K PDF, using Adobe's Print Driver created a smaller 88K PDF. the drawing and images were 1215K.
