pdf are to LARGE I can't print or present

[cocoloco]

I am on MacBook , so in order to SAVE file in PDF, I have to go through File > PRINT.... it is not through the standard routine, so I don't have choice on DPT setting either... in this setting I can only choose to chase in quality Draft, normal or high. 

I just downloaded my project schedules in PDF, I kid you not, it is 140MB in normal quality, but draft being similar. I use PDF PRO, which have feature to make files smaller but it ends up being still 90MB. If I save it that way, the layout open VERY slow, IF. When I go to office to print it, the printer crash and I am unable print it.

I tried to simplified certain objects, even removing textures (ouch,  because that's part of specifications), but nothing really helps. I know there used to be an option to find heavy objects in archicad but I can't no longer find it. 

Anyone who can help please?

I can see for the print, if the company can download this type of browser and print from there 

but I need to regularly open the pdf…. So it would be helpful to be able to open it without computer crashing.

Gosh. There is. Was it always there?? 🫣 thank you. Oh well, this is embarrassing. I never noticed there was pdf option to save as and adjust the DPI. The solution that came from Archicas was to do it through print-save us. 

thank you.

So what's the file size now with 'Save as'?

I saved all 50 layouts in 600 DPT , some pages including  renderings (from third party) and it's about 27MB now  and it opens quickly. I could potentially still adjust this through PDF expert. But this is already huge improvement. Thank you.
