Image Capture - How do I reduce file size of scan document?

I am using image scan. I scan the file (about 7 pages) and it comes to 16.8M. I cannot email it at that file size. How do I get the scan to be less detailed or so to allow me to email it? I tried messing with DPI, etc... that didnt work.
When I went into Finder to compress it to a .zip the file size did not change.
The person on the other end cannot receive files >10M.
Thanks
Nick

I figured it out if anyone needs it in the future. In the details section there are 3 ways to scan. Text, Color or Black and White. Choose text and increase DPI a tad and it made file size 194K.

  • 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 do I reduce file size in Adobe 9.4.5?

    Hello,
    I'm using Adobe 9.4.5. I can't figure out how to reduce file size. My 'save as' options don't offer this because they only offer 'save a copy' or 'save as text'. And I don't have the 'Document/reduce file size' option. It's simply not there.
    I'd appreciate any advice on how to do this.
    Many thanks.

    You can also try Document>Reduce File Size. The PDF Optimizer has more features, but Reduce File Size my meet your need. I find different results with both methods, making me sometimes wonder which is the best approach.

  • How do I reduce file size in Preview?

    how do I reduce size in Preview? Tools > Adjust Size is greyed out. I have a scan of receipts at 300 dpi that's 5.3 MB. I want to reduce for e mail.

    I did go back and saved to .jpg and got an option to determine the quality and settled for 225 KB image. That works and it looks fine.
    Unfortunately, though I clicked correct answer on your post - it looks like its giving me credit. I tried to undo, but I can't.

  • How do I reduce file size of iPhoto library that's had photos deleted?

    I created a calendar in my iPhoto library (which contains thousands of photos). I want to save the calendar now as a separate library with just the calendar in it. I duplicated my iPhoto library and deleted everything except for the dozen or so images used in the calendar. However my iPhoto library is still over 10GB! I've checked the trash is empty and I've rebuilt the database. Is there anything I can do to reduce the file size of the library?
    Thanks

    Empty the system trash. If that doesn't help:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Is there an iPod Photo Cache? You can delete that too...

  • How do i reduce the size of a document?

    HP Photosmart Premium

    Hello,
         you may be able to reduce the document size to print on a specific paper size using several methods, depending on what application your printing on.
       For example, you can modify the 'Page Setup...' options by hitting COMMAND+P t bring up the Print Handling Dialog, and ensuring the paper size (e.g. Normal) and the "Scale" is set 100% (or smaller).
      Other dialogs/apps/printers may provdie a 'Scale to fit paper size' checkbox as well.
     Let us know if you have a particular application in mind.
    Hope this helps

  • How to reduce file size

    I have one page file. There is no image, just text. Now the file size is 3MB.
    I cannot reduce size anyhow. I have moved the tick from embed fonts at save option tab but file size is same.
    How I can reduce file size?
    In addition this file is used so many times.

    Probably not.
    If you don't see the Master Page tab in Designer, then the way in which you imported the existing PD means that the page was brought in as artwork. I don't think you will be able to reduce it now.
    One potential option would be to:
    Go back to the existing PDF and export the page as an image. You can process the image in Photoshop (or similar) and get the image file size down.
    Then start a new form in Designer and on the Master Page drag on an Image object and associate it with the image in step 1.
    Save this new form and see is the file size acceptable. If so, proceed.
    Now open your existing 3Mb form in Designer and copy all of the objects.
    Paste these into your new form.
    You may need to move things around a bit.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

    How do you reduce file size in Acrobat XI Standard?

    Acrobat Standard doesn't have the optimise features, you would need Pro for that.
    The other option is to create the pdf files using different job options, to lower the resolution of images for example.

  • How Can Make a Large Background Image For A Website (reduced file size)?

    Hi, I want to edit a large photo so that it fits the width of the browser (I'm using a responsive layout). The image needs to be a small file size so that it loads quick enough.... My question is are their any tricks or adjustments within Photoshop where I can reduce the file size of an image whilst maintaing large image size. I heard that adding noise can reduce the file size or something? Is there any other effects that do this?
    Thanks in advance!!!

    You making my point if all you have is slow Internet connection you use the web less. You only use it when you have a real need.  You do not use it for fun or streaming video you live with the reality of what you have and use it accordingly.
    In 2003 I took a long vacation to New Zealand and Oz land.  I carried my ThinkPad with its 15" IPS 1600x1200 px Display for Photoshop and storing my images. I also use for connecting to the Internet via modem for E-mail and banking not for fun.  These days you can carry a iPod in you shirt pocket and gab a cup of coffee at a local Starbucks a use a high speed wireless in access point they provide for their customers for free.  High speed in becomming the norm in all but rual areas.

  • How do I reduce the size of an AI CS6 file when saving as a pdf?

    I'm trying to save an ai file to a PDF to send to the printer but the file is huge. How can I reduce the size without losing quality? I have already rasterized my images and flattened the artwork. Thanks!

    How huge is huge?  Are all of the images Placed at 100% or have they been scaled?  What are the printer's requirements?  What are the physical dimensions of the file?  And, how are you creating the PDF?  There are a few ways to minimize size, starting with the file itself and the printer's requirements.  I find, sometimes, Exporting > TIFF > Open in Ps > Save As Photoshop PDF is helpful.  I also use Distiller which trims files nicely and is customizable.

  • 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.
