in grayscale, will come in somewhere around 100KB per
page. Full page ads, around 150KB/page. This is best case scenario. Pics
and other graphics will look OK on screen but print poorly. For print
quality pdf files (300dpi) the size goes way up, 1MB - 2MB per page.
Publish in color and the file sizes increase more.</span></font><font
