Why not directly as a PDF?
Authored by: hamarkus on Feb 21, '04 03:44:43PM

I just compared the file sizes for different formats with a sample file, this option saved me 4K out of 110K, saving it as a PDF more than halved the file size to 44K.
I made it a habit to save files if somehow possible in an open file format, Word files as RTF, Photoshop files as TIFF, Illustrator as EPS etc. Does sombody know if there are any important differences between .ai, .eps and .pdf files, apart from that minor detail file size and the inability of some programs to handle EPS files properly?
