Why have file sizes in Pages increased since upgrading to latest version?

Hi, I use Pages to compose a monthly newsletter for my yacht club. For that purpose I preferred it to Word because it was so easy to add, resize and position photographs. Before circulating the newsletter to club members, I convert the file to PDF format using the print as PDF option. Last year I was able to put 25 or so photos along with text over 5 pages and finish with a file size of less than 5 MB, which is about as big as I can send without dozens being bounced by members' email filters. Since upgrading my Mac to "Mountain Lion" (and then to "Mavericks") and upgrading Pages, I can't include more than 7 or 8 photos on 2 pages without going over my 5 MB limit. The finished file size seems to be two or three times the combined file sizes of the photos that I include.
Any suggestions for reducing file size? I already use as low a photo resolution as I can.

Peter - thank you so much for this very helpful reply. I had assumed that having "upgraded" I would be condemned to putting up with the Pages 5. I would never have thought of looking in the iWork folder for an older version. Needless to say I can't use Pages 09 to open documents written in pages 5 - but that's no loss. I note that January's newsletter was a hefty 15.5 MB in size, whereas December's, which contains more pages and many more photos was only 2.5 MB.
Thanks again.
Fruhulda - I look forward to reading more of the discussion of the last few months. Being new to the forum it may take me some time to find it.

    I have an IBM Think Pad and since installing the latest version of Firfox, the trackpoint scrolling on my mouse no longer works

    Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work.<br />
    Close and restart Firefox after changing the pref.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />

  • Any way to have file size included in the first search in finder?

    Is it possible to somehow show file sizes when doing a search in finder?
    On Panther, it was very helpful to have the file sizes listed. This immediately revealed whether the photoshop files I was looking for were full size or reduced.
    But when I run a search in Snow Leopard it only shows name, kind and last opened. Otherwise I have to also add a second search to add in file size.
    Any way to have file size included in the first search?
    Thanks!

    Well, I wish I could take credit for knowing it was there before two days ago... but I dropped my laptop a couple months ago and it finally died for good on Friday, and I noticed this on the new laptop when setting up my Finder preferences.

  • How do I reduce photo file size in Pages?

    I am colaborating on a report that contains photos, which I want to exchange with my colleague via email. It's too big as is, but if I choose the Reduce File Size option, Pages over reduces and the photos become blurry and pixelated. If there a way to find a happy medium within Pages, and not be exporting to a pdf? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Question asked and answered several times.
    Adjust the picture files to fit your needs before inserting them in a Pages document.
    My own scheme is :
    build a draft document in which I insert the original pictures (tiff or png)
    When the document's layout is OK, grab the dimensions of resized pictures.
    Use a tool dedicated to pictures edition (they are numerous even if you want a free one).
    to crop the pictures.
    Re sample the cropped pictures with a rez between 80 dpi and 300 dpi according to your needs.
    Then and only then, save as Jpeg to reduce the files sizes.
    Remove the pictures embedded in you doc and insert the edited ones.
    It may be useful to re-start from scratch and copy paste the text components if you applied masks to crop the pictures during the first step.

  • In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each cropin

    In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each croping? Thx

    Select the Crop Tool and check the box [  ] Delete Cropped Pixels and you should see a reduction in file size.  With the box unchecked, the data is still maintained in the document, you just can't see it.

  • Does Solaris have file size limination?

    Dear Sir:
    Does Solaris or other UNIX OS have file size limination ?
    If yes, Please tell me
    where the manual or any documents refered ?
    Thanks Nicolas

    Hi Nicolas,<BR><BR>
    SunOS and Solaris 2.3 through 2.5.1 support file sizes up to 2GB<BR>
    in size. By size, it is understood that a file has with it, its<BR> own overhead (inode information, etc.) so closer investigation may<BR> reveal that the file in question is somewhat short of actually<BR>
    being 2GB in size.<BR>
    Solaris 2.6 has introduced the concept of largefiles.<BR>
    A largefile, indicates a file that has a size between 2GB<BR>
    and 1Tb (terabyte). <BR><BR>
    Here is a table of file and file systems limitations (for UFS)<BR> depending on Solaris releases:<BR><BR>
    <PRE>
    Single File File System
    SunOS 4.1.x 2Gb 2Gb
    SunOS 4.1.x + ODS 2Gb 1Tb
    Solaris 2.0-2.5.1 2Gb 1Tb
    Solaris 2.0-2.5.1 + SDS 2Gb 1Tb
    Solaris 2.6 ~800Gb 1Tb
    Solaris 7          ~800Gb          1Tb
    Solaris 8          ~800Gb          1Tb
    </PRE>
    <BR>On Solaris 2.6 and upwards, have a look at the manpage for<BR> largefile(5) or go to http://docs.sun.com and search for "largefile".

    Hope this helps.<BR><BR>

  • HT1338 I have an HP Printer/scanner, and since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer scan on my HP.  HP tells me that I can get an upgrade app from 'Apple Software Upgrade' .  Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have an HP Printer/scanner, and since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer scan on my HP.  HP tells me that I can get an upgrade app from 'Apple Software Upgrade' .  Does anyone know how to do this?

    HP couldn't find its own apps with both hands and a flashlight.
    As of Lion all scanning functions are incorporated natively in OS X. You can scan three ways:
    Use Preview: File > Import from scanner
    Use Image Capture
    (Preview and Image Capture are both in your Applications folder.)
    System Preferences > Print & Scan. Select your HP and use the Scan tab.
    If you have HP's "Image Zone" software installed, you no longer need it and it no longer works anyway.

  • I have Windows 8.1 on my PC. Ever since downloading the latest version of i Tunes 11.1.4 it will not recognize any of my i Pods (3). Never had any problems syncing until this latest version of i Tunes.Manual sync is "grayed out", any ideas ? Thanks

    I have Windows 8.1 on my PC. Ever since downloading the latest version of i Tunes, it will not recognize any of my i Pods (3) and therefore am unable to sync any music from my i Tunes to the i Pods. I've tried all the obvious things like resarting the PC as well as the i Pods tried different patch cables but the i Tunes software will no longer recognize my i Pods. I have automatic sync selected, but I even tried to manually sync by clicking on devices under File but the sync icon is "grayed" out. When I look under Preferences and click on devices the serial numbers of my i Pods appear and are correct but again will not recognize the i Pod when plugged in to the PC. Bottom line I'm dead in the water....appreciate any suggestions....thanks

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?

        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
        Try this even if you don’t see the red light.
