Agency Owner/Designer here. I run a design/technology firm and we constantly send out PDFs for portfolios, projects, proposals etc. The issue is that they can be massive and we're forced to send them via Dropbox, or our new favorite tool, DocSend. The issue is that even when we try to minimally reduce the file size we lose image resolution on all our beautiful mock-ups, wireframes, and UI designs. It's so incredibly disappointing to produce pixel perfect work and not be able to showcase it that way in a PDF. We've tried a number of solutions to reducing PDF file size below 20 mb, including within Keynote, externally through SmallPDF, and even use the long and arduous PostScript method through distiller.
I see other agency portfolios (most are bad) that are super crisp, flawless really, and operate smoothly as a 20mb file. No one on my team can solve this challenge. Reddit, come to our rescue. Come to the rescue of all designers out there who struggle with optimizing PDFs. Come save us.
Great design resource
