How do I compress a PDF that totals 300K MB?

How do I compress a PDF that totals 300K MB? I don't have access to the original file, which was created in Illustrator. I'm using Mac 10.5.8 and Adobe Reader X.

Using Acrobat X, I've saved a file as "Reduced Size PDF" -- is it possible
further reduce this file size?

How do I compress a pdf with Create PDF so that I can attach it to e-mail?

How do I compress a pdf with Create PDR so that I can attach it to e-mail?

Hi, Blue Mamba.
Your file is automatically compressed when using the CreatePDF service to convert from some other file type (e.g. Word, Excel) to PDF. For example, most PowerPoint files get compressed 50% to 90% over their original size.
If there is a particular file you're converting to PDF using the CreatePDF service, and you are not seeing the size savings that you would like, please provide more details.
Thanks.

How do I compress a video that 160mb to 25 mb for an email

How do I compress a video that 160mb to 25 mb for an email

After it's re-encoded using a lossy format, the OP could also use an application (of choice) to create a segmented file (rar, etc.) and send each portion in individual emails. Most severs won't allow anything over 5 GB, so the user could choose 4 GB segments and the receiver could use a free un-rar app (quite a few available in the App Store - even more for Windows users) to extract the video.
Just some random thoughts...

How do i compress a .pdf file

How Do I Compress A . pdf File

The PDF format itself contains significant amounts of compression applied to all PDF file contents. One can compress a PDF file into a ZIP file, but that ZIP file cannot be directly opened by the Adobe Reader.

How can I create a PDF that conforms to PDFX/1-a:2001 form Pages

I have a 358 page B&W document created in PAGES - I need to submit this to the printers (Lightning Source) as a PDFX/1-a:2001. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional and Distiller. However, pdfs created by PAGES cannot be converted by Acrobat into PDFX/1-a:2001 (at least I haven't been able to figure out how to!). The solution proposed by Lightning Source is to:
print to a Postscript file first, then process the PostScript file using Adobe Acrobat Distiller Professional Version 6 or newer.
This allows you to produce a PDF that is of optimal compliance with our printing process (PDFX/1-a:2001 recommended)
The problem is that when PAGES creates the Postscript file it doesn't retain the correct sizing - it shifts it from 216x140mm to Letter size (the original document shifts to the lower-left corner surrounded by blank page). This size change continues when Distiller creates the PDFX/1-a:2001 so their solution doesn't work.
Anyone who has actually achieved this or with suggestions - all advice gratefully received!

Peter, thank you for your suggestions - I was a bit daunted by the colorsync filters, etc., however, after much searching I've put together an apparent solution. I'll find out if it works in a few days when Lightning Source get back to me:
Creating a Lightning Source pdf from a Pages document
Here is a walkthrough of the process I go through to create PDF in the format Lightning Source requires for B&W inner text - PDFX/1-a:2001. You need PAGES, ACROBAT DISTILLER and ACROBAT PROFESSIONAL.
In PRINT dialog go to the PDF button and select SAVE AS POSTSCRIPT.
Open this Postscript file in Distiller, it should save it as PDFX/1-a:2001.
If the page size is incorrect go to the following instructions.
Your pdf should be ready now to go to LS.
IF THE PAGE SIZE HAS BEEN MODIFIED
This was my major challenge as OS X’s export to Postscript seems to modify the file to A4 or Letter size. You need the following Applescript (thanks to Gregory Ledger for this essential tool):
http://macproductionartist.wordpress.com/2009/04/01/really-cropping-pages-in-acr obat/)
tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro" tell active doc repeat with i from 1 to count of pages tell page i set cbox to crop box set media box to cbox end tell end repeat end tell end tell
With your new pdf opened in Acrobat Professional use the DOCUMENT: CROP PAGES dialog box.
Set the margins of the Crop Box to the required dimensions.
Keep the pdf open in Acrobat Pro.
Now run the APPLESCRIPT above - this modifies the pdf so that the page size is modified to match the new crop size.
Save your pdf and this should now be ready for use at LS.
Gregory Ledger also recommends exporting the cropped pdf to Postscript and then running this through Distiller again to ensure any artefacts are removed.
Thanks again for your time and suggestions, Richard

How do I transfer a PDF that I downloaded to my laptop?

So I downloaded a pdf file to my ipad from Hightail. The file expired so it no longer sits on their site. My harddrive crashed so I don't have the file anymore. But it lives in my ipad. Good Reader did nothing to get it off my ipad. There HAS to be a way to get it off of there! Clicking the file on the ipad does not bring up any type of "E-mail this doc" or anything else. I can just move it to another app like iBooks or Kindle. I can't browse the device via my MBP either. HELP!
Paul

The pdf is in ibooks on my ipad. That is the only place it lives. There is nothing in the downloads folder. If I copuld just get Good Reader to SEE the file, I think half the battle is won. But getting Good Reader to even SEE the file or trying to get the file INTO Good Reader is becoming a nightmare. How do I get the pdf file into Good Reader?
This is what the website says:
How do I transfer files to/from GoodReader?
There are several ways to do that:
Computer-to-GoodReader: using USB cable. Read more here.
Computer-to-GoodReader: using WiFi-connection. If your device and computer are connected to the same WiFi network, use WiFi-transfer window to transfer your files wirelessly. See the WiFi File Transfer Manual.
Internet-to-GoodReader: use built-in web-browser to browse for files to download, or enter their URLs to start downloading immediately. See the Web Downloads Manual.
Other apps-to-GoodReader: use inter-app Document Interchange (a.k.a. Open In... functionality) to exchange files between apps (including Apple's Mail app to transfer E-Mail attachments to GoodReader). Works both ways - GoodReader can open files stored in other apps, and other apps can open files stored in GoodReader. Apple's Document Interchange works only with apps that explicitly support this feature.
E-Mail Servers-to-GoodReader: access E-Mail servers via IMAP or POP3 protocol to download e-mail attachments. Read more here.
WebDAV Servers-to-GoodReader: connect to WebDAV servers to download and upload files. Read more here. You can also sync files and folders.
Dropbox-to-GoodReader: connect to Dropbox to download and upload files. Read more here. You can also sync files and folders.
SkyDrive-to-GoodReader: connect to SkyDrive to download and upload files. Read more here. You can also sync files and folders.
Google Drive-to-GoodReader: connect to Google Drive to download and upload files. Read more here.
SugarSync-to-GoodReader: connect to SugarSync to download and upload files. Read more here. You can also sync files and folders.
FTP Servers-to-GoodReader: connect to FTP servers to download and upload files. Read more here (FTP protocol is insecure, use SFTP access for confidential documents). You can also sync files and folders.
SFTP Servers-to-GoodReader: connect to SFTP servers to download and upload files. Read more here. You can alsosync files and folders.
AFP Servers-to-GoodReader: connect to AFP servers (shared Mac folders, Apple Time Capsule, etc.) to download and upload files. Read more here. You can also sync files and folders.
SMB Servers-to-GoodReader: connect to SMB servers (shared Windows folders, various NAS drives, etc.) to download and upload files. Read more here. You can also sync files and folders.
Other iPhone/iPod/iPad-to-GoodReader: if your device is on the same WiFi network with another iPhone/iPod/iPad with any application that supports WebDAV access - for example, another copy of GoodReader, or any other WebDAV-capable file sharing application - you can use the Connect to Servers feature to exchange files with that application. Read more here.
Device Photo Album: import pictures and recorded videos from and export pictures to it
NONE of these is what I need. I need to open it from ipad to Good Reader.

How do you open a PDF that comes in as a winmail.dat on an iPad2

How do you open a PDF file that comes in as winmail.daton an iPad2? Is there any setting that I need to turn on? Or do i need to purchase a converter to make this work?
Thanks,
firehorse7

You could ask whoever sent it to you to resend the email, but not in rich text format : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1506
Otherwise there are a number of apps in the store that say that they support winmail.dat (search for 'winmail.dat')

How do I compress a PDF so I can email it?

I need to compress a pdf file. bought the converter to convert to windows but it wont allow me to compress or email. Acrobat now says its wants me to pay another fee? I just purchased the converter

Hi peterb,
I see that you just got an ExportPDF subscription. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow you to compress PDF files (that's a job for Acrobat). But, you have several options. You can use Adobe Send to send large files (no need to compress the file); or you can use Acrobat to compress the file (you're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days).
If you decide that you don't want the ExportPDF subscription because it doesn't do what you need it to do, let us know and we can either swap that for a different subscription or cancel and refund you.
Best,
Sara

How do you create a PDF that shows up on the opening of an e-mail

I use to be abel to create a PDF that I could drag onto the desktop of an email and it would show up as part of the e-mail when opened as well as an attatchement. Is there an actual procedure for creating one or is it random? Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't?

There is no procedure. Whether it shows up or not is purely dependent on the receivers email application and their preferences.
As always, I suggest if you want to do something like that, you should create an HTML email. There's a bit more control although it isn't foolproof either.

How 2 - embed watermark in PDF that obscures content if copied

I'm being asked to embed a watermark into corporate documentation that would - when an attempt is made to photocopy - obscure the content to a degree that the copy would be useless.
Can this be done in Acrobat, or is a thrid-party vendor app required?

I'm not explaining the demand well enough. You're right, the app won't effect the photo
copier. What I'm being asked to do ("attempt" is a better way of describing this) is to create a watermark in the PDF that has the attributes ofl:
a) not obscuring the document when printed from the hard-drive.
b) significantly obsuring the document if the printed document is photocopied (like the old school method of putting black type on a red background).
SHHEESH!
I've seen a few very expensive thrid-party apps that will allow for this type of "redaction", but I don;t have a $1500 budget for this little effort. So ...

How to Optimize an xml PDF that has already been filled out

I have created a pdf file in Livecycle and forgot to uncheck embed fonts. I have already sent out the pdf form and Extended Features in Adobe Reader. I have received over 300 forms back. Is there anyway to reduce the file size with forms already filled out? Are there any work arounds?
PLEASE HELP!! I appreicate any assistance you can provide.

Although there is a way to use the Action Wizard to re-import the XML it can be tedious to appropriately rename all the XML files.
I made a web app that my department uses to batch update all the PDFs that the recipients filled out into the latest version of the PDF.
I made a standalone version you can use here.
This application is AS IS. Use at your own risk and expense.
I'll expect my cheque in the mail ; )

How do I secure a PDF that has been signed so that it can't be opened in the new Word

Hi all
Hoping someone can help. As the title suggests I need some advice in securely locking a PDF after it has been signed.
I know how to secure a PDF document so that it can't be opened in the new version of the Word 2013.
File > properties > Security and pick password protect
Then open Word and down the bottom left hand corner click 'open other documents'
This then attempts to open the PDF and if secure it will fail to open if unsecured it will open making the content fully editable
However when you sign a document you can't secure it by going file > properties > Security and pick password protect.
Then open Word and down the bottom left hand corner click 'open other documents'
This then opens the PDF and makes the content fully editable but removes the signature
The content is fully editable - how can I lock this????????????????????????????
Thanks in advance

Hi Garetch,
You could encrypt the file first, but set the permissions to allow for signing. After that you can sign the encrypted file (you just can't encrypt a signed file). As long as you get the order of operations correct (encrypt first, sign second) you will end up at the same place you are trying to get to.

How do I edit exported PDF that is now a word document?

I scanned a word document that is now a PDF in my computer. With acrobat it is apparently exported as a word document in my files. However, my whole purpose was to edit the doculment that I scanned in the first place. I cannot edit the exported PDF. How do I do this? If I can't achieve this goal, the whole subscription is worthless to me!

If an image is embedded within a Word document***, then you can double click on it to bring it into some sort of image editor within Word, and then Copy and Paste it into Preview.
You can create a new document in Preview from the clipboard contents.
*** Why do people use Word files as a container format for images, why???
