I have a sales document that's exceedingly graphics-heavy. Most of the graphics are imported PowerPoint slides that were cropped to show only the relevant bits -- and the relevant bits were mostly originally created in Illustrator (not by me).

Now the sales people are asking me to reduce the resolution of all the graphics in order to decrease the size of the document.

Is there any tool you can think of that'll work for dealing with such hybrid graphics? We can probably go back to the original contractor who created the graphics if we have to, but I'd prefer not to if there's a simpler solution.


Presumably you are distributing the document as a PDF? Otherwise the
sales people shouldn't care about the file size. Check you job option
settings in Distiller. If the "Screen" job options are unsatisfactory
(too blurry), you can adjust the setting. An alternative is to first
convert all the graphics to raster images at the resolution you want in
Photoshop before reinserting them in the document.
