Hi everyone,
I have a whole lot of Illustrator files placed into an Indesign document. The ID doc is then exported to pdf ready for high-resolution printing. In addition to this high res version, I also need to create a lower res version to be used on the web. The only problem is that since all the images in the file are placed .ai or .eps files, I can't get the resolution down low enough. I'm having to open up each of the images, save them as medium-res .png or .jpg files and then place them back into Indesign before creating another pdf.
I'm looking for a faster way to get this done since the file contains about 500 pages and a lot of images. I wondered if there was any other program to do with printing that might help me solve the problem. I thought that when digital files are sent to an imagesetter, the data is rasterized which is why I had the idea about some prepress program being of some help.
I wondered if someone could help me out here or point me in the right direction. Would really be appreciated.
