    $\begingroup$ the documentation for AllowRasterization says "whether to rasterize a graphic that requires advanced versions of PDF". Do you know what is meant by advanced versions? Is that more recent versions than when Mma was written? I've had import problems with recent PDF formats and had to re-save them as "older" PDFs to get them to import. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 9, 2012 at 22:08
  • $\begingroup$ I hink this has the best chance of being close to foolproof, so I'm upvoting it. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 10, 2012 at 3:10

    $\begingroup$ Very nice, upvoting. This also works on a whole notebook. So if bignb has head NotebookObject one can just do, e.g.: Export["tentimessmallerfile.pdf", bignb, "AllowRasterization" -> True, ImageResolution -> 300] $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 16, 2012 at 9:28
  • $\begingroup$ If I want to export graphics to .eps instead of .pdf what should be changed to the Export[]; it's not working with .eps files, the size remains the same. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 11, 2013 at 12:52
