@@altArchitecture I forgot to ask you, how do you set the spacing distance between the frames when you make them like that? In your video, yours have no spaces. When I did it, there were small spaces. I cannot find an option to set this.
Hi, Thank you for this tutorial. Your compression tip is great, but it is not for print ? Correct ? Sorry for this question, I’m 😊beginning in indesign…
Hello, İsn't it better to export pdf view as pages instead of spreads, however i have worked in spreads but there would be no problem with pages view for my work. İ think pages view would be more convenient and better choise for upload because observer would be more convenient and also it doesn't require zooming as it is needed in spread view. Whats your opinion and suggestions in this regard?
Great question. It depends on what you want. I personally prefer spread because my portfolio as a spread is landscape which fits monitors better. If your single pages are landscape orientation then I don’t see a problem with it. I personally don’t like viewing portrait orientation portfolios on a landscape screen but that is my PERSONAL preference. Do what you think is best in that scenario!
Great Video! To the point and no BS. Its getting hard to find those anymore. I followed the steps in the video but I keep getting a crash report when I reduce the ppi. It will export just fine if I go to file_print_adobe pdf. But the file was 36mb and is too large. Any suggestions? BTW This is the first video of yours that I have seen and I already subscribed. I hope all you videos are just as helpful. Thanks
Thanks Joshua! You will likely have to decrease the ppi to decrease the file size. I’m not sure why it would be crashing. Try exporting a smaller page count and combining them in Adobe acrobat after.
@@altArchitecture Thanks! it's Greek. This video was really cool. I did not know that a file size reduction could be done in InDesign. I thought that once a file was exported into a PDF, from there in Adobe Acrobat, the file size could be reduced. Very useful tip you provided. Thanks again.
Thank you for straight-forward info. On Acrobat, when you open your large size file and click optimise PDF on tools, then advanced optimisation, there are several settings that look same as indesign's compression settings. I just want to ask if there is difference between reducing on acrobat and indesign? Please let me know.
That’s a great question Robert. I’m not quite sure about the technicalities of the two compression methods other than you have more control in Indesign over Adobe Acrobat. Acrobat does a standard compression (I assume your talking about “reduce file size” method) whereas in Indesign you have control over what is being compressed and by how much. Long story short use the Indesign compression to your best capabilities and if you can’t compress anymore then use Adobe acrobat.
Hi Uzair, I would recommend setting it to 72 ppi, changing the second number to 72ppi, and then setting image quality to high or medium. Also try right clicking your portfolio file (or opening it in Adobe acrobat) and choosing “reduce file size”. If your still having trouble after that let me know and I’ll see what else i can do. Good luck!
Thanks for your question! There is a way to decrease it a little more, but most of the time it’s very minor. When you are in the compression tab while exporting, change the number “for images above” to the same number you are down sampling to. For instance, “bicubic downsampling to 72 ppi for images above 72 ppi”. The second method would be to open your portfolio pdf after exporting, go to file > reduce file size. If this still doesn’t work sometimes a portfolio is just too large to be under 10mb. It may help to cut out one of your “unnecessary projects”.
*Need to reduce your PDF even more???* 😄 ua-cam.com/video/3RHTzF6XUmQ/v-deo.html 😄
I am a paetron an a 1st year ARCH grad student at UIUC at the age of 64! Your vidoes have been very helpful. Thank you!
That’s amazing! I’m very happy to hear that and I can’t wait until you grad and design something. Let me know how everything goes, keep me updated 😁👍👍
I was watching this with it due in 30 minutes. Saved my behind. thank you much!!!!!!!
Hey, glad to help. That's what I'm here for!
Dude, the tip at the end was worth watching the video that I didn't need to watch (at X2).
I’m happy you got something out of it 😂

@@altArchitecture So I am going to try Indesign first, then Acrobat. Also gotta check that link out. Thank you for quick response :)
@@Robert-fv6zo of course! Also thanks for the new video idea!
My portfolio isn't nearly as nice as yours. great work!
Thanks, Marshall. I'm sure it's really good! best of luck with your applications!
hello! why in increments of 50? thank you in advance.
Good stuff
Thanks for watching! 😁
I can't able to compress my portfolio below 10mb even with 50ppi

It isn't working. It goes 300 PPI for 35 MB, 200 PPI for 27MB, 100 PPI for 18MB, and 50 PPI for 16MB. What do you think might be the problem?

nice
Thanks Brandt!
bro why me export file first 5 MB and my second file size 4 MB hehehehe is crazy
Yeah very crazy! I’m happy you were able to get it to 5mb 👍👍
@@altArchitecture hahaha oke thanks for your videos l liked
