Why is PDF so large illustrator?
If you choose the Create PDF Compatible File option, then Illustrator creates a file with an accompanying PDF syntax that is compatible with any application that recognizes PDF files. If you choose this option, then the file size increases because you’re saving two formats within the Illustrator file.

Why is Illustrator so laggy?
When you work with an embedded bitmap image and your system doesn’t have enough RAM, Illustrator uses hard disk space as a scratch disk. It takes longer to access information on a hard disk than in memory. Therefore, using a portion of the hard disk as virtual memory can decrease performance.
How big is the file size for illustrator?
The size of the file is 168mb and it’s nearly impossible to work on the file because every action takes like five minutes or so to complete. The artwork is of a scene filled with characters and I so far outlined the entire thing with a brush and afterwards expanded all the strokes thinking it would help ease the load.
Why does illustrator take so long to open?
The slow down is generally due to screen redraw. So, if you can limit the need for the preview to redraw, things should be faster. Use Outline Mode when feasible (View > Outline Mode). Without the preview redrawing, Outline mode is generally “snappy” even on complex files.
What can I do to speed up illustrator?
Really, there’s nothing you can directly do to speed up Illustrator. There is some unspoken, undocumented, limit and once you have so many objects that limit is passed, AI just gets horribly, horribly slow. The slow down is generally due to screen redraw. So, if you can limit the need for the preview to redraw, things should be faster.
