    I'm wondering what the various email attachment size limits are out there? I'm working on making some files smaller so they can be attached to emails....what are the various max sizes you are familiar with? Thanks

    My first project was this one:

    I'm trying to make the PDFs smaller so they can be attached to email. What size limits should I keep in mind? I know gmail is pretty generous. What does yahoo allow? And other major email services?

    Yahoo is 10MB. Gmail is also 10MB.

    I have also found that when I use Adobe Acrobat to make pdf files, the resulting pdf file is about twice as big as when I use Adobe Distiller. Don't know why -- I have tried not embedding fonts and such. It just seems that Distiller is more efficient. Also Distiller seems to be more faithful to the original. I couldn't get Acrobat to properly convert a square root sign, but Distiller did.
