How do i reduce the size of the pdf's scanned from my printer

i scan from my printer to a pdf.  the file comes across way to big (2mb for 4 pages with no pictures & just text, etc.)  i have already re-set the settings on my scanner / printer to try to get the smallest dpi & image possible.  how do i get to the settings on my adobe acrobat to reduce the size of the pdf when saved on my computer or is this not the right place to do that?

You may need to reset that to use higher scan quality for successful OCR.

  • How do you reduce file size of a PDF if Save As doesnt work?

    I have been trying to reduce the size of a PDF, using the Save As > Optimized PDF method.
    I have also tried Save As > Reduced Size PDF.
    This is on a file made up of 20 pages of full page Jpegs. (These were generated by the script in Photoshop that generates Jpeg files from Layer Comps within the document.)
    If I use Reduced Size PDF, I get a greatly reduced file size but the image quality suffers greatly. (Lots of artifacts and blurryness)
    There are no options to choose the level of compression I want.
    If I use Optimized PDF method, I cant seem to reduce the file size no matter what I set the Jpeg compression to.
    Is there some way to cut the size of the file down but not lose so much image quality?
    Any suggestions?

    Part of the problem here is that the files that are produced when I run the script to output files from layer comps are very big.
    If I "save for web" for each layer comp, I wind up with way smaller Jpegs. Thus a much smaller PDF.
    So the question is: Can you make the script, Layer Comps to Files, create smaller more optimized Jpegs? (Like you get when you save for web)

  • How to reduce the size of my pdf X3:2002 for online printing

    Hello Adobe,
    I have been creating a photobook (33 x 28 cm) with my photo editing software.
    The problem is, that I've got a PDF X3 2002 with around 7 GB and the online printing office accepts only 2 GB.
    What can I do, how can I reduce this large pdf in 2 GB?  I'm working with Acrobat X Pro.
    Thanks for your help,
    Best,
    Andrea

    You are sending public messages, don't worry about that. It's working fine. Now, rather than trying to share screen shots and send PDFs, please focus on answering ALL of my questions. Thanks. I will recap. If any of the questions don't make sense, just say so. We need to stay focussed, not go off on a tangent.
    - the size in pixels and inches (or mm) for your photos.
    - what app you use for layout
    - What is the EFFECTIVE resolution you are using for your images (not the original ppi, but adjusted for layout size)?
    - How are you making up the pages?
    - How do you make the PDF? -
    - What PDF compression settings are you using?

  • I am shooting with a Nikon D60 on Fine Format and unable to print larger than 11x14.  I have been able to print larger pictures.  I am told iPhoto reduces the size of the file when uploaded. Is this true? If so how can I change this?  I need 16x20's

  • 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.

    How to reduce the size of a pdf?

    Not do-able with Reader. Acrobat Pro can reduce PDF file size, but... if it's text only (no media or images) it won't reduce any more than it already is.

  • 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.

  • How to reduce the size of a PDF file from a 10.26 MB to a 2.0 MB?

    I have save my file using Adobe and converted it to a PDF file size 10.26MB but the file is too large....how do I reduce the size of the file to upload to a website?.  It needs to be PDF size 2.0 MB

    The free Reader can do nothing to shrink the files. Acrobat can reduce them somewhat but I think that not to the extent that you want, although it can also separate them in smaller files. Depending on the specific files, it may be better to reduce them in the originals from which the PDFs were made; for example, by lowering the resolution of images.

  • 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.

    Do you have to use Preview or would a third party utility like PDFShrink be acceptable?

  • How do I reduce the size of a PDF file for emailing?

    I have scanned a document on my Canon Printer.  The size is very large about 14 Megabytes.  I do not know how to reduce the size so that I can send it via Mail.  I have searched HELP but have not as yet found an answer.  One suggestion was that in my Mail window there is an option to reduce the size of the attachment but I see no such option in my email. 

    Another option for sending large files is to use :
    http://www.filedropper.com/
    You upload the files to the website and it creates
    a URL that you can copy and paste into an email
    which you send to the recipient and they use the
    generated link to get the file.

  • How can I reduce the size of the page? The txt is too big.  Where is the scale of percentage?

    Can anyone tell me how to reduce the size of the page like before when I just clicked on it and I could make the page large or small by %.  The DC is different then what I had before.  Thanks  Jim

    Hi jsamx,
    You can hold down ctrl key on your keyboard and then use your mouse scroll to zoom-in or or zoom-out of the page.
    Alternatively, you can go to view menu -> zoom -> Dynamic zoom.
    Does this helps with your query?

    Can you post an example? If you're referring to the User Message or User Prompt or the other dialogs, I'm not sure if the hooks are there to control where the dialog appears. Someone else might know different.
