[Hidden-tech] Trouble compressing a PDF using WinRAR

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Merlin,

As previously mentioned, depending upon your PDF export settings, you  
may have already compressed the file as much as possible. If you  
really need to keep the file in the PDF format, you could try re- 
exporting it in Acrobat Pro, lowering the export compression settings  
before exporting. It might not make much of a difference but it's  
worth looking into.

Good luck,
Kimo
