    As far as i can see... its because the images in the created pdf are large in pixel size but still 72dpi, and all pdf compression options in acrobat are for lowering dpi to reduce file size...

    Don't export to pdf, export to images then turn those into a pdf.

    If your like me and the only reason you use this feature is for quick client preview, export to pdf is mostly broken and you need to use this work around.

    i hope i am missing something, but this seems to be the case.

    Yes, having PDF Presets would help. We have some particular settings we use for posting PDFs to project folders on our server. It would be great to do so with XD files.

    Please add a compression feature or enable third party PDF compression. Neither online tools or local Mac software (NXPowerLite Desktop) can compress these XD created PDFs.
    I'm ending up with 600MB for a bunch of UI design templates, it's ridiculous.

    Please escalate this feature!

    Please change this Adobe, really not great for Workflow- we may as well all keep using indesign/illustrator and photoshop if we have to export back through one of these anyway :-( ?

    Please escalate this feature. It's bad enough that PDFs aren't compressed to begin with, but why on earth can't I reduce the files size in Acrobat??

    Are you kidding me? Why don't you guys get the basics done before trying to compete with the competitors.

    As a workaround I started to export artboards as JPGs and then convert them to PDFs. Not perfect, but file size is manageable.

    Pleased it's a big issue and still no compression option in 2019.

    I can still get the pdf file compressed on illustrator though :/.

    How are we supposed to get anyone onboard if you can't export a usable PDF?
