This may not be the place for this question but does anyone else have the problem of Illustrator CS5 saving out huge files.
I open an illustrator CS4 eps file that is simple line art and has a file size of about 300kb, make a few tweaks here and there and save it as a CS4 or CS5 file from CS5, it is anywhere from 8 to 14mb.

I have have even asked our IT dept. and they just shrugged their shoulders.

Maybe there is a checkbox I am missing somewhere.

Any ideas?
