I am using R-14 and when I make pdf files to send out to contractors for bidding purposes I have to split up the dwg. files into separate e-mails, which is a pain. I am using xrefs in my sheets. Are xrefs the problem? When I print out my xrefs that I make i notice that the xref boxes show up in the preview and it also on the print. I have received other dwgs (xrefs) from other architects and their files are a lot smaller in size. Is it possibly due to the fact that they are using 2007 or higher? There is a size factor difference of about 5 to 1 or more. I do have 2007, but am having a plotting issue with it, so its back to r-14. I really like R-14 and hate to part with it. I guess i'm one of those old school people that hates change. But will if i could figure 2007 out. Thank you all in advance for any and all help with this situation, as the boss is getting very upset with having to e-mail all these separate files individually to contractors. Not a productive way to e-mail. Thanks again.

If you need additional info, will forward, but i thought this was long enough as it is.

It might be my pdf writer. Which one would you suggest. Mine is from AnyDWG software,Inc. www.anydwg.com
The sheet file before converting to pdf is 198KB and after it jumped to 2478KB. Something is wrong here with the PDF converter. I paid good money for this program.
