Someone can show me how to reduce the eps file size under 15MB ?

Because I use much effects in vectors file so their size are around 60MB

Thanks a lot for your helps!

Wow, 60 MB is really a lot. I don't know if it's actually possible to reduce the file size to an acceptable one, but try reducing the physical document size to for example 100px x 100px (or whatever aspect ratio your document is). Some of mine aren't even bigger than 80px x 80px.

This should help to some extent. Other options include of course the reducing of the number of points (you know in the vectors themselves). And keeping transparencies and different blend modes over each other to a minimum.

Hope to have helped you somewhat on this one.

Oh, and you know that you can't use effects in eps, right? They become bitmapped, and that might be the problem of your huge file size.
