Saving a Compressed File
To compress a client file, on the File tab, click Save Compressed. Compressing a file is recommended to save disk space and to ease copying or moving the client file.
Compressed client files have all the files in the folder merged in to one file with a file name of filename.ac_, where filename is the name of the client file.
