How to make PDF file size smaller from an Illustrator file without changing the quality or size (length and width) of the file?

Is there a way to make a 30x42 size (40 GB) Illustrator file as a PDF but make the file smaller in size (able to email to clients) with out compromising the quality of the file or the size of the file?

If you are working in RGB you can embed a colour profile. Embed ICC Profiles is one of the Acrobat save options. It will increase files size dramatically.
When you save your pdf you can choose the compression method for placed images. Default is ZIP which is really no compression at all for pixel images. Instead you should opt for JPG compression (of varying degree according to how sensitive the images are to compression).
You should also examine the other Acrobat save options. To minimize file size you should not have any of the options checked (Preserve Illustrator Editing Capability, Embed page Thumbnails etc. etc.).
40 gigabytes for a file like the one you show is ridiculous. Did you maybe embed the placed images? If so, don’t. Keep them linked unless you really need to embed them.

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • How to make pdfs above 8MB open in browser?

    Pdfs whose size is below 8MB open in the browser while those above 8MB open in an Acrobat window. How to make pdfs irrespective of their size open in the browser window only?

    The setting you are looking for is located in Tools > Options > Applications. If setting it to using the in-browser plugin doesn't work, you will have to contact Adobe support at http://www.adobe.com/support/.
    '''Your Firefox version is several years old. It's no longer supported, and using it is a security risk.'''
    Please update to version 3.6.10 using '''Help''' > '''Check for updates''' menuitem, or by downloading the installer from http://getfirefox.com. Thank you.

    How to solve this problem??
    Any help and suggestions is appreciable.
    Thank You

    Here is a function that will lock all fields on the form for you. Simply put it in a scripting object and call it (passing in the root node of your form and it will lock everything).
    If you create a script object called myScriptObject then calling this woudl be like this:
    myScriptObject.LockAllFields(form1);
    Function: LockAllFields
    Description: This function will lock all fields.
    IN: The parent subform. It could also be an element that contains subform like form1
    OUT : nothing
    function LockAllFields(myParentObject){
    var allChildElements;
    var intNumElements;
    var currentElement;
    var j;
    //Get all the child nodes of the parent element
    allChildElements = myParentObject.nodes;
    //Total number of element in the object
    intNumElements = allChildElements.length;
    //Loop through all the child elements
    for(j=0; j< intNumElements;j++){
    currentElement = allChildElements.item(j);
    //If the element is another subform we'll recusively call the function again
    if(allChildElements.item(j).className == "subform"){
    LockAllFields(currentElement);
    //If the objects are fields and they are set to mandatory (validate.nullTest) then we will set the border.fill.color - dependant on object type
    else if(currentElement.className == "field"){
    currentElement.access = "readOnly";
    //Check for exclusion groups - Radio Buttons
    else if(currentElement.className == "exclGroup"){
    for(k=0; k< currentElement.nodes.length;k++){
    if(currentElement.nodes.item(k).className == "field"){
    //set the access for the radio buttons individually
    currentElement.access = "readOnly";
    }//end function

  • How to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript

    Hi all,
    Please suugest - how to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript.
    Thanks
    Rohit

    @Larry – ah, your interpretation could be the right one…
    May I rephrase the question:
    "How to split threaded text frames to single ones?"
    "SplitStory.jsx" or "BreakFrame.jsx" under Scripts/Samples indeed could be the answer.
    From the comments in the code of "BreakFrame.jsx":
    //Removes the selected text frame (or text frames) from the
    //story containing the text frame and removes the text contained
    //by the text frame from the story.
    //If you want to split *all* of the text fames in the story, use the
    //SplitStory.jsx script.

  • How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

    How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

    See if any of this info will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.  3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How to make a "new photo to publish" be considered "published" without actually publishing it?

    how to make a "new photo to publish" be considered "published" without actually publishing it?
    I have some photos that are really just stubs that represent the other "real" photos to publish.
    I don't want to have to do a mock export/rendering of them just to make them appear published.
    Any ideas?
    Rob

    In one of my plugins I have a requirement to download and add photos from the remote server and populate the newly created published collection in Lightroom.  In this routine, I use the following code to add the images to a published collection using the method provided by Don above.
    [code]
    catalog:withWriteAccessDo('createcollection', function()
         newcollection = v:createPublishedCollection(h.title)
         newcollection:setRemoteId(h.id)
    end)
    catalog:withWriteAccessDo( 'NPGSetUpdates', function()
         newphoto = catalog:addPhoto(newpath)
         newcollection:addPhotoByRemoteId(newphoto,p.id,p.url,true)
    end)
    [/code]
    The biggest thing here is that adding a photo like this requires the code to reside within the withWriteAccessDo block.

  • How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

    How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?  My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings.  Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password? 

    Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

  • How do I permanently delte purchased songs from my iTunes library without Match?

    How do I permanently delte purchased songs from my iTunes library without Match? iTunes is automatically syncing songs I purchased years ago to my iPhone without me asking it to. I have not and am not going to pay for Match. I want to get of of these songs for good. I do not care about removing them from my history which is impossible, I just want to delete songs so they are not in my library and do not sync to my phone since I never wanted them there.
