Acrobat 9 file size

I am very impressed with what is possible with Acrobat 9 pro extended. As a corporate video producer I would love to insert short video clips into a PDF Sales Manager Guide. It's very easy to do, but a single page with a single 360X240 clip uses over 3 meg. What would be the best way to distribute a document with 20 clips?

FLV files are quite well compressed, so inserting them in Acrobat would give you files with approximately the same size + overhead of the other content you have in PDF.
For a smaller file, you'll need to find a way to reduce the size of the flv. Probably loading them in a video editing software and saving them at lower quality.

  • Adobe Acrobat File Sizes

    I receive many scanned document for work and one problem I am having is when I receive the documents the file size is sometimes very large. So large that I cannot upload these documents to our server because of size.  Unfortunately, since I have no control over the 2000+ individuals that scan documents and send them to me, I need to find a way to reduce the file size.  I also have no way of knowing what version of Adobe they use; however I currently have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and should be getting Adobe Acrobat Professional 10 in the next couple days.  I usually use the Optimizer, which sometimes works and then sometimes it make the file size even larger.  Is there another method where I can reduce the file size?  Thank You

    The Preflight Tools will give you much greater control of how you can reduce the file sizes. While you cannot control what the 2000+ individuals will do, an instruction sheet or a specification sheet recommending settings to be used might save you work, even if it is only used by 10% of the people.

    Hi,
    Are you facing the issue with any pdf file?
    Please try updating Acrobat to 11.0.7 and check.

  • Reduce File Size in Acrobat Pro (9.5.5) Corrupts Graphics in PDF Documents - shows up as black image

    Whenever I use Reduce File Size in Acrobat Pro (9.5.5), sometimes some of the images (not all) get corrupted and show up as a black image in the new document.
    Actually, the new reduced document looks okay when viewed in Acrobat, but the problem shows up when viewed in the Preview application on the Mac.
    I'm using Acrobat 9.5.5 with Mac OS 10.8.6
    I've tried re-importing the graphic into a new graphic box, which didn't work.  Thinking there may be some type of corruption with the actual graphic file, I then tried viewing the graphic, then taking a screenshot of it to create a completely new file, and then re-importing the new graphic file into the original document (created in Adobe In Design 5.0.4).  I then export the new document as a pdf, and brought it into Acrobat Pro to do the Reduce File Size.  Same thing happens - black box appears where the graphic was.
    I then tried using the Reduce File Size within the Save As function of the Preview application on the Mac - while the graphic remains intact, many of the other graphics in the document are "reduced" too much, to the point where the image quality is seriously degraded, and therefore not usable.
    Any other ideas?

    Hi Anoop,
    I can share the graphic file, but not the pdf which contains it (as it contains confidential information) - thanks!

  • Issues in Reducing file size on Acrobat 9.3.1

    The text has been merged or split on Acrobat 9.3.1 Pro by using the option "Reduce File Size" or "PDF Optimizer". There is no issue in the earlier version of Acrobat (7.0 & 8.0). We are using the Mac OS between 10.4.11 to 10.6.2. I have attached screenshots for your reference; please look at the Word "Issues" has been split after reducing file size on Acrobat 9.3.1. Is there any other way to do Hi-Res PDF to Low-Res PDF without any issue? Kindly help me out to sustain the best process in future.

    I found a similar problem with text styled for small caps. It was fine in the original PDF, but became lowercase in the reduced file. The reduction process probably throws away characters from fonts that Acrobat decides are unnecessary.
    I was able to partially solve the problem by combining multiple PDFs (book chapters) and selecting the smallest file size icon at the bottom of the page. Alternately, I chose a web-quality preset, which also worked. The file size might not be quite as small, but the files were good.

  • Creating .pdf from a ppt or .doc in acrobat 9 resulting in strangely large file sizes

    I am printing to .pdf from Microsoft Word and Powerpoint (previously Office 07 - now Office 10) and the file sizes are sometimes doubling in size. Also, for some larger documents, multiple .pdfs are generating as if acrobat is choosing where to cut off a document due to large file size and generating secondary, tertiary, etc., docs to continue the .pdf. The documents have placed images (excel charts, etc) but they are not enormous - that is until they are being generated into a .pdf. I had hoped that when i upgraded to Office 10, this issue would go away, but unfortunately, it hasn't. Any ideas? thoughts? Thanks so much!

    One thing that can happen with MS Office applications when an image contains transparency is the "image" is actually composed of multiple one pixel images when converted to PDF. This could be confirmed by examining the file. Try selecting the images using the TouchUp Object tool to see if what looks like a single image it entirely selected.

  • Cannot reduce file size in Acrobat X due to "image masks"

    Occasionally, when I try to reduce the file size of a PDF file in Acrobat X, I am getting the error message that the file was not re-rendered because of "image masks".
    What precisely does this mean? How are image masks created in the PDF production process and how do I avoid them going into the file?
    In this case, it was a simple Word document including a text and two semi-transparent GIF images on top of each other placed behind the text.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Try to flatten the pdfs that should get rid of the masks (use Preflight tools).

  • Reduce file size in Acrobat X

    What is the best way to reduce file size? The Document menu is no longer an option. When I try to Save As... Reduced File Size or Optimized PDF, the program crashes.

    We aren't Adobe. We're just users like you.
    Regardless, this is something that requires Adobe Acrobat and not Adobe Reader. This is the Reader forum.

  • Acrobat 9 Typewriter increasing file size

    I have scanned forms that I need to edit with the Typewriter tool in Acrobat 9 Pro - basically I just need to add a date to the form and then e-mail it.  Evidently I have accidentally clicked some box that I did not want to click, because now when I edit the one-page form (about 70k before editing) and type in any data whatsoever using the Typewriter tool, then save the form, the file balloons to anywhere from 0.6 to 0.9 MB.  Which is crazy, and too large for me to submit.
    Right now what I'm having to do is edit the form, save it, print it, and re-scan it.  This is making me nuts.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
    I have tried Reduce File Size, the Optimizer, and downsampling, but nothing has worked.  I can't make the file small enough to make a difference.
    Thanks,
    Beth

    Base - 14 fonts
    Standard Type 1 Fonts (Standard 14 Fonts)
    Fourteen typefaces—known as the standard 14 fonts—have a special significance in PDF documents:
    Times (v3) (in regular, italic, bold, and bold italic)
    Courier (in regular, oblique, bold and bold oblique)
    Helvetica (v3) (in regular, oblique, bold and bold oblique)
    Symbol
    Zapf Dingbats
    These fonts are sometimes called the base fourteen fonts.[34] These fonts, or suitable substitute fonts with the same metrics, must always be available in all PDF readers and so need not be embedded in a PDF.[35] PDF viewers must know about the metrics of these fonts. Other fonts may be substituted if they are not embedded in a PDF.
    Helvetica was developed in 1957 by Linotype. Arial was Monotype's attempt to make a font that looked like Helvetica (but without paying licensing fees) and was designed in 1982.
    Microsoft didn't want to pay Linotype licensing fees to use Helvetica so it went instead with the cheaper Arial.
    Arial is held in disregard by many professional typographers and type enthusiasts, for reasons relating to its similarity to other typefaces and the involvement of Microsoft in its development and distribution.[7] It is reinforced by Arial's apparent status as a de facto Helvetica stand-in, but without paying royalties, or credit, to Helvetica. Arial's glyph widths are nearly identical to those of Helvetica,[7][26] rather than Monotype Grotesque, on which Arial is otherwise based.[7] "But to an experienced designer," writes typographer Mark Simonson, using Arial "was like asking for Jimmy Stewart and getting Rich Little."

  • Reducing file size in Acrobat Pro XI

    Created a 36 page PDF from 300ppi scans of pages of a large 1822 Bible, applied OCR, resulting file size was 53, 149 KB.  Need to get it down below 20,000 KB.  Used "Save as Other>File Size Reduce" and "Save as Other>Optimize." Set the latter to Reader X, and minimum size. Result was no reduction whatever in file size.  What's wrong?

    I have Acrobat Pro X - so I'm not sure if XI has this same feature, or if it's in the same location, but see if you can try this:
    Tools > Document Processing > Optimize Scanned PDF
    I use this a lot to reduce PDFs that won't reduce through a Save As.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am using acrobat 9 pro. Using the optimise pdf. File size increases?

    I am trying to clean up some previously scanned images containing mainly text. The original file sizes are 80K. I use the optimise pdf tool to 'despeckle' with all the other option set to off. When I save and then check the new file size it has increased threefold. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

    This is the Adobe Contribute forum. Acrobat forums are at http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat.
    That being said, have you done a "save as" on the files?

  • Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but

    Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but it does not reduce file size.

    Use the Optimize PDF command in Acrobat, it gives you more control. I think it's under the Advanced menu in Acrobat 9 Pro and File > Save As > Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Pro.
    You might try playing around with different settings. You can also click the Audit Space button at the upper right to see if its from images or other things causing the file size problem.
    Unfortunately, InDesign doesn't write interactivity in a very optimized way. You get better results with buttons, for example, creating them in Acrobat Pro and using the Duplicate command to duplicate them across multiple pages.

  • PDF annotation(comments) in acrobat increase file size rather than reader

    Hi,
    When I annotating(comments) files in Acrobat Professional(7 or 9) will increase the file size where as if I open the same file in adobe reader I can easily edit the page within short times,Please suggest what is the mechanism used in Acrobat.
    Regards,
    MohamedFaisal.

    Hi MohamedFaisal,
    I am not sure, if i understood you correctly. The file size grows big in Acrobat and when the same file is opened in Reader the size is less?
    Also, please help us with the details mentioned below
    1) Exact version of Acrobat being used
    2) Exact version of Adobe Reader being used
    3) Size difference, when opened in Acrobat Vs When opened in Reader.
    4) How was the file Created.

  • File size problem between Acrobat 8 and 9

    When I print to a PDF from Acrobat 8 I get a file size that is slightly larger than the original PDF file size.  Example a 1.6 mb file becomes a 1.7mb file.  When I print the same file in Acrobat 9 with the same settings (to my Knowledge) (setting = High Quality Print) I get a file that 36.1mb.
    The reason we would print the file in the fist place is that we need to create a PDF that is ether slightly larger or slightly smaller (say 98%) of the original size.  Can anyone help us figure out why our upgraded version 9 would do this?  We also use 7 and between 7 and 8 there are no defenses but 9 makes the file ~21X the original file size.  Please see that attached JPEG for a screen shot of the file sizes.
    Thank you, -Dan

    Thank you for the quick response.  We are able to get some results through the Optimizer however they are not the same.  Also we would like to keep from adding an extra step into the process.  Especially a step that adds a lot of time to the process as the Optimizer does.  In versions 7 and 8 we did not have run the Optimizer (we also did not have to do this in version 5 back in the day).  Why would 9 have to add this step?  I am really looking for a way to keep the same workflow steps.  -Dan

  • Reduce .PDF file size in Acrobat 5.0

    Hi. Seems like there are plenty of ways to reduce the file size of .pdfs in later versions of Acrobat than in 5.0. Does anyone know of any I could try in the 5.0 version?
    The doc is 122 pages, all in black & white & has some images.
    I do not have the original doc. I did not make it. I am just trying to reduce the size to put it on the web.
    ps-I did try using Distiller, but the images got a little too sketchy looking.
    Thank you.
    Jules

    I tried it at home & I used the optimize pdf thing. It went from 17MB to 12MB so I re-optimized it & got it down to 3MB. It's as good as it is going to get. The big problem is that the .pdf that I have was scanned on a copier machine.
    I printed the 3MB pdf on the color printer & it came out okay, but then I printed it on the black & white printer & it barely had any ink on the page....
    I am just going to not bother with it anymore. Not much I can do with a scanned document & it's not even my job to begin with!
    Thanks Bill.
