How can I reduce the size images on a PDF?

I need to reduce a 25MB document to under 20MB. I am using Acrobat X Pro. When I try to reduce the size of a PDF a conversion warning pops up saying the PDF document contained image masks that were not downsampled.

Assuming you have a number of high quality images in your document odds are you can reduce the quality of the images quite a bit before they become visibly noticeable - so long as the images are relatively small - say 1/3 page or less.
If you knock down either the SIZE, QUANTITY or the QUALITY of the images (use GIMP, save as jpgs for pictures, pngs for text-y images to get max file compression) you can dramatically decrease the size of your file.
I took a 12 MB file down to under 3MB with a little selective editing. It CAN be done.

  • How can i reduce the size of Images  in MIDlet

    Hi all,
    How can i reduce the size of Images in Form,bcoz they are covering lots of spaces in form due to that other items are not displaying in specific order.

    Better you can use Canvas class and using drawImage() function you can show the image. Before that you have to Get the maximum size of your phone screen using the following:
    x = (width/2) - (image.getWidth()/2);
    y = (height/2) - (image.getHeight()/2);

  • How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

    I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

    Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
    You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
    If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
    Best luck.

    You could also export the image and use your Preview application to change pixel dimensions.
    Open the image in Preview.
    Go to: Tools > Image size.
    Type in the dimensions you want.

  • How can I reduce the size of a photo proportionally.  With my old Mac mini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner  hold the shift key until I achieved the desires size.

    How can I reduce the size of a photo PROPORTIONALLY?  With my old Macmini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner of the picture, hold down the shift key and move the pointer to achieve the desired size.  

    You'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of these:
    Some Image Editors That Support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Imagerie - $38
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60 
    Seashore - Free
    Portraits and Prints - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    Xee 2.1 - free
    My personal preference would be for Photoshop Elements for Mac. Most of these will let you select and copy a head from one photo, paste it into another photo, resize and place where you need it.
    PSE has a specific feature just for that function.  I belive the Adobe site for PSE has a demo video of that feature.

  • I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto

    I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto.

    What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.

  • Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

    My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
    There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
    The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
    If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
    If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
    That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
    Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.
    Why is my word and PDF files so large?
    How can I reduce the size of the word and PDF files? (without reducing the photo quality).
    Are there any tools to post process the Word or PDF files to reduce the file size?

    You can't, extra size is to hold the details

    How can I reduce the size of these files?
    Can i not use this files and see the tabscripts or others object htmlb?
    thanks

    Hi Benito,
    these files contain all "stuff" that the BSP Extensions need to work. If you decide to code your own HTML content you don't need them.
    The other thing to consider is that these files should really be cached b your browser so this overhead only happens once.
    Cheers

  • How can I reduce the size of IPhoto ?

    I have tested IPhoto with a few hundred pictures.
    I do not find this software very user-friendly, in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures. I kept fortunately a copy of my complete set of my photo collection.
    I removed all pictures from IPhoto, but the application shows a size of 600 Mb.
    How can I reduce the size of IPhoto and recover this storage space?

    patrick
    in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
    You might also like to explore the iPhoto tutorials at http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/index.html
    Use the Get Info window to remove unwanted language resources.

  • How can I reduce the size of the jvm?

    I would like to decrease the size of a jvm; I've found a program that makes it, but you don't know how does it works (and you have to pay for it), I'm talking about VM Optimizer 2.0, from Invirtus.
    Can anyone tell me how can I reduce the size of the jvm?
    Thanks a lot.

    I assume you mean the size of a JVM instance in memory and not the size of the JRE which is on the disk.
    I don't believe that there is any way at present for your Java code to change the amount of memory available to the JVM. This shouldn't matter too much, though. Firstly, you can control the size of the JVM from the command prompt with the -Xms and -Xmx options. Secondly, any remotely reasonable operating system is going to wait until the JVM has requested memory before allocating all of it. If you start a JVM with a 2Gb heap, it does not occupy 2Gb of physical memory straight away.
    Finally, I did a Google on InVirtus VM Optimizer and must request some information. What does that software have to do with Java? It's designed to reduce the size of a virtual computer as created by a prorgam such as VMWare. It has nothing to do with the Java virtual machine.

  • How can I reduce the size of some apps like Facebook, Twitter,whatsup..etc..as they eat a lot of space on my iPhone 4s ?

    How can I reduce the size of some of the key apps likeTwitt Facebook, whatsup etc..I have a iphone 4s 7 GB?

    Its frustrating. I also have this problem with Dropbox, a great service but they dont have a 'delete cache' button. Dropbox told me to log out and back in again but nothing. If i delete the Dropbox app (And Facebook app and Twitter) and then re-install its back to its original size
    If you go into settings/general/usage and see all the apps, press the app for Twitter (Or Facebook) and you'll see how much extra the app is keeping under 'Documents & Data'
    Delete those apps and re-install and the documents and data will be 0 and the app back to normal.
    Its frustrating as some of these apps can get huge, after viewing a video my facebook app went up to 450 meg ! Same for twitter. I tend to use 'Twiterrific' as the app size doesnt get silly unlike the official Twitter app

  • How can I reduce the size of "Other" usage?

    I  unable to update my IOS because "Other" memory usage is too high and I have insufficient memory available for the upgrade. What does other include and how can I reduce its size?

    You can update using iTunes on your computer, which will bypass the space requirement that is imposed on over the air downloads.
    To reduce the size of other, back up the phone, restore it using iTunes, then restore your backup. That should get it down to a reasonable size.

  • PLEASE HELP! How can I reduce the size of my print jobs??

    I have created a report which requires graphics. It prints out a header and a JTable below it. Each report is sent to printer as seperate job, and I profiled it as 1 MB each! How to reduce this please?
    Andres-Louis Jorneaux

    You can't reduce the size that I know of but you can reduce the number by grouping them. Moving one icon on top of the other will create a folder. Also notice the horizontal scroll dots or swipe feature.
