    I avoid using jpg's for our layout work because importing an already compressed format into InDesign to make a PDF - by nature a compressed format - only makes the images worse. Using tif gives us a bit more wiggle room when it comes to file size/image quality.

    You would be surprised how many large companies out there still only have a 5-10MB attachment limit on their email.

    • One of the largest property/retail development companies in the Nordics and Northern Europe have a 5MB limit on attachments. Mental.face_melter
    • Of course for larger things I use DropBox or WeTransfer, but a lot of corporate bods are unaware of those services and afraid to click the links.face_melter
    • Another solution is to simply FTP to your own server, and provide a link. Hey presto, job done.Continuity
    • Oh no. Our servers are secure as all hell, security is a big part of our IT setup. Guests in the office can't even access them via ethernet without permissions.face_melter
