Large file size printing to PDF

[Jim1004]

When printing a client return to PDF, a large file size is created (24mb) which of course is too large to email.  Previously files were less than one megabyte.  This just seemed to just show up as I have been doing this for years.  Saw a couple threads but no solutions.  Ran PDF repair tool, was no help.

Large PDF attachments always cause problems.  You have the option of mailing in the attachment with Form 8453 within 3 days of e-filing.  See options listed on Schedule D input worksheet.

I am trying to email a copy of the return to client as a PDF for review but file size has grown massive as compared to what it used to be.  Specifically, Form 990.

If it's the client copy they already received the 1099 from the investment house.  There really is no need to email the attachment of a form they already received (and probably gave to you).  As an alternative my PDF writer can do 2:1, or 4:1 or more pages.  Beyond 4:1 no one can read.  Not acceptable the IRS, but acceptable to the client.
