[Hidden-tech] Trouble compressing a PDF using WinRAR

[Merlin Calo]

It was meant to be viewed in Adobe Reader which is pretty accessible, I brought into into Illustrator because I knew that I could convert the file into a pdf using this program.

Maybe converting it into a jpeg could have been another option..

If it was a scanned image why would you bring it into illustrator rather than using a photo editing software and then saving it out as a jpeg?

Hi Merlin,
I too work mostly on the Mac platform. 
In your message did you mean that the WinRAR process wouldn't run, or that the file size wasn't changing? Maybe the file's size is already the smallest it can be...
For what it's worth, you must have some placed bitmaps in your illustrator file because if it was just vector graphics it wouldn't really need compressing, or rather, the file wouldn't have much data to compress -- since unlike raster graphics (bitmap) the amount of information required by the program to render the image is the bare minimum so the file sizes stay much smaller.
Still, I suppose the WinRAR process ought to execute, even if the file size may not change much. 
Hope this
 helped...
Best,Kimo

Hell all:

I am having some trouble compressing a PDF file using WinRAR..

For some reason I can not compress the file, I have gone over a few tutorials and I know that I am taking the right steps. It is a pdf file I created in Adobe Illustrator CS4 I have no idea why the file size remains the same..

Any help on this topic or if you can point me in the right direction to look for answer would be appreciated!
