Images Tab:

To keep this file super-small, all images should downsample to at least 72dpi Set compression for jpeg Choose low image quality, as most will only be viewed on a monitor or printed on a laserprinter.

These options keep the file small and it will build on the page faster.


Fonts Tab:

ALWAYS embed ALL fonts!

Although this makes for a slightly larger file, embedding fonts assures the integrity of the file. If the fonts are not embedded, every time the file is brought up on a different computer, the fonts will change according to the fonts available to it.


Color Tab:

Because this is going to be viewed on RGB monitors everywhere and because RGB images are inherently smaller than CMYK images, convert all colors to CalRGB
