PDF file sizes exported from ArcGIS Pro are HUGE compared to ArcMap. There is no need for this. I understand why https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000022153 and this is solving a problem that we didn't have.
The PDFs exported from ArcMap were just fine, printed great. We have remote workers that can't even OPEN a pdf on VPN that was exported at 300 dpi from ArcGIS Pro.
I know the work arounds too. Buy Adobe - save as reduced file size. Use Adobe print to PDF. This should be solved in ArcGIS Pro!
Thanks.
