I have some 200 meg psd files that need to be 30 megs in PDF format with fonts embedded. This is what the printer company requires. My file doc width & height cannot change. I have the complete Adobe Master Suite if another program would achieve the goal easier. Youtube links welcome. Also, I am using an InDesign template. Thx, Guru's

Hi Timothy
It is hard to say without knowing what is exactly in your PSD (e.g. Layers or is it flattened etc)
Images can be compressed without much loss in quality yet there is not way to get a 10x reduction with lossless compression and absolutely no loss in compression.

I took a 120MB PSD file (just an image) and saved it to PDF. With the default settings it was then only 69MB in size
I then simply used Adobe Acrobat Pro and used the Save As > Reduced Sizd PDF option and it saved down to 9MB

Without any more details from you that would be the direction I would recommend.

Hope that helps.
