Thanks for the response Gareth, Yes file size is what I am after. We currently use fosi and SMA with distiller. When out put a file we use the press and standard options. When publishing my test map through the standard.appcf file it produces a pdf file that is 354.5 mb. I then created a postscript file. Using the postscript file, I sent it through distiller and created the two version we require, a web version (Adobe Standard: 27.7 mb) and a print version (Press: 139.4 mb), these are the sizes I would have expected to see out put out of appcf. We have tried modifying the appcf file but it seems that as soon as you turn on image compression, it causes publishing to fail. Here is a case about file size https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS213411&art_lang=en&posno=3&q=image%20compression&ProductFamily=Arbortext&source=search. We have downloaded the sample files and have published with limited success so far file size is with in 2 mb of the standard.appcf file.
I will try the adobe audit space usage tool and see what it says. We use all cgms in editor, mostly line drawings from IsoDraw.
