Question
I work in the promotional products industry and our vendors have to have our artwork in either ai or eps format.  Our problem is that even if we create a 1"x1" black and white image the file size is always 1MB or larger.  How can we fix this so we can send artwork to our vendors?  Thank you!

Hello Jen,

Try this first and if it doesn't work let me know and I'll give you a couple more options. Open your file then "Save as" and select a PDF from the format pull down at bottom of window. You can have the "preserve editing" selected so when it's opened in Illustrator again it's fully editable.

I hope this helped.

Thank you,

Tom
