PDF size is extremely large
Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 version
When I save a file as PDF or even the original Ai. format the file becomes extremely large. This started to occurred after the latest update. The file contains 2 small artboards with a little bit of text (not much) and a few small icons, its 43 MB! it should be 10 MB or less.
The same happens when saving as PDF with (Illustrator default settings) File is TOO big, even if I change the settings of the PDF, it might drop to 15 MB.

Check the symbol palette and swatches palettes, remove anything which is not used in the file.
Please let me know if it helps.
