Adobe Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.12: Save As, Reduce Size PDF

I am running Adobe Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.12.  The File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF..." does not work.  The file size barely changes, if it changes at all.  In some cases, the file size is slightly larger after saving using the reduced size PDF option.  In previous versions, the option would drastically reduce the document size.  The documents are all text in black/white with no graphics and usually Times New Roman or Arial type fonts.  Nothing fancy.  Is this a bug in this version?  I have been unsuccessful in finding a fix.  Optimizing does nothing.  Any insight you may provide will be most helpful.  Thank you in advance.

It's working for me, reducing like Acrobat Pro 9 did (that was my previous version). According to the software, saving to the latest possible version of Acrobat will give the biggest reduction. Good luck.

    Hi Jorg ,
    Are you trying to reduce the file size with the "Reduced size PDF" in the save as other option.
    Give it a try if you haven't done it prior.
    Open that PDF>File>Save as Other>Reduced size PDF.
    If possible ,please share the snapshot of the error message with us so that we can have a look in order to assist you further.

  • In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Version 11.0.0 - Flatten file so it is not editable even by Acrobat

    In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Version 11.0.0 I use the Flatten option under Preflight but when I go back into the document using Acrobat and use Edit Text & Images, I am able to edit and delete items in the document. I also tried Flatten Preview -> Apply but this didn't work either. I finally tried to print the document as a pdf but the same thing happens. If a document is flattened, it should not be editable by any software but it seems that if someone has Acrobat, they will be able to edit the pdf I send them. Can you please tell me how I can truly flatten a pdf file so that it is not editable by at all?

    " If a document is flattened, it should not be editable by any software " who as claimed this, and where? Sounds like twaddle.

    I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • I have encountered the following problems with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro version 11.0.9 with OS X  "Yosemite" version 10.0.

    1. PDF files from the Internet can be opened but graphics do not appear. In place of the graphic the area is colored gray.
    2. I use an HP scanner to create PDF documents. I am unable to use Adobe Acrobat XI to scan from my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.  Apple reports an error.  However, I can scan documents to PDF using an HP utility, however, these documents cannot be displayed  by Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and therefore, cannot be edited or used to create forms.  The documents can be displayed by Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    These problems also existed under the previous OS X system “Maverick”. Please tell me that only a change in setting is required to be able to read and edit these documents created via scan or describe a usable work-around solution.

    Point 1: try turning on "Show large images" in your preferences. In Acrobat for Windows, it's under the Page Display preferences. I'm not sure about OS X.

  • Adobe acrobat invalid annotation object in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (Version 9.3.1)

    Does Acrobat still support "9 Pro"? If yes does Acrobat wish to address the issue? if already did, where?
    I tried the following resolution, but problem is back:
    •         Launch Adobe Acrobat.
    •         Select Edit.
    •         Select Preferences.
    •         Select Commenting.
    •         Uncheck the following boxes:
    Enable text indicators and tool tips.
    Ensure that popups are visible as the document is scrolled.
    •         Click OK.
    •         Select "Select Object Tool" on Advanced Editing Toolbar.
    •         Delete comments on the problematic pages.
    Any help?

    For "1" -
    "Location" merely identfies where the PDF is on the end-user's computer.
    What you see when you view this while a PDF is open on your computer will not be what I see.
    If you come across a technique to hide/remove this for your license of Acrobat on your computer this technique won't be on my computer.
    For "2" -
    Select Advanced > Security > Encrypt with Password
    In the Password Securtiy - Setting dialog locate "Permission" (about half way down).
    Tick "Restrict editing and printing of the document. A password will be required in order to change these permission settings." 
    Configure as desired.
    Be well...

  • My Adobe Acrobat X will no longer allow me to save as "reduced size pdf".

    It now tells me "an error was encountered while saving the document".
    Why all of a sudden is this happening? 
    How do I fix it?
    Can I reinstall the Acrobat X which was upgraded online?  How do I go about doing this?
    Help??
    Thank you,

    make sure you have a Preferences folder:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Preferences\".

  • Using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.5.1

    2 Questions: 
    1.  Under 'File' > 'Properties', in the 'Description' tab it shows in the bottom section under 'Advance' the location of the file. How do I get rid of the 'Location'?   I deleted everything out of the 'Custom' tab and that did nothing to the 'location'.   I do not want this file to be tagged in any way. 
    2.  Where do I go to select what is 'Denied' for a specific document when I email it others? i.e. Printing, changes to document, etc.
    Thank You

  • Adobe Acrobat XI Pro keeps closing second after launching or opening a PDF

    I was using the trial version and was was having an issue with the program closing after about 10 seconds, prior to it closing the program works just fine, I have windows 7 with SP1 and have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat about 10x now trying all the troubleshooting steps I could find including doing all updates and even running the registry cleaning uninstaller and re-installing the program. Spent hours on it and recently upgraded to paid version hoping it would fix it but no such luck, please help.

    Hi,
    Please go to Program File* 86-Common File-Adobe-SLCache Rename the SLCache to Old SLCache
    Program Data-Adobe-SLStore- Rename the SLStore to Old SLStore.
    Then Right click on the application and Run it as an Admin.
    Check if this helps or not.

  • Using Save As Reduced Size PDF in Adobe Acrobat X Pro results in a loss of font.

    We have multiple paged PDF documents (mapbooks created with Esri's ArcMap) that we would like to reduce in size.  When we us the Save As Reduced SIze PDF, the PDF is successfully reduced in size and looks good, except for the fact that starting on page 2, the Times New Roman font is lost and we get a sans-serif font instead (looks like arial).  The first page is always fine and not affected.  It's starting with the second page where the font is lost.  Does anyone have an idea of why that might be happening and how we can use the Reduce File Size feature without losing the font starting on the second page?

    Thanks Bill, that worked after some trial and error.  I was still getting the same problem when I just accepted the default settings for PDF Optimizer.  But I got rid of the problem by creating a Custom setting and turning off the optimization for everything except Image.  And for the Image optimization, I just accepted the defaults.  That took care of the changing fonts problem.  Here is a screenshot of the settings I used (just make sure the check boxes circled are turned off, and only the image compression is turned on):

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro adding a blank page on conversion from Word 2010

    Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help.  I'm converting a Word 2010 document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.5.4).  On conversion to PDF, a blank page is being added, throwing the entire report off.  In word, there is a Section Break (Next Page) at the end of the first page, and the text continues on the second.  On conversion, it is after this section break that the blank page apears (i.e., between pages 1 and 2 of the document).  I've been back and forth through the document, tried to use a Continuous Section Break instead (Word just converts it to a page break again), making sure there's only one break, etc., and cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Why do I have two versions of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed on my desktop?

    I have a monthly subscription to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - which I obtained via download.  I am using a desktop running Windows XP (yes, I know, it's time to update).
    When I click on my control panel icon and then the "add / remove programs" option (in an effort to look for old or unused programs to get rid of), I see that there are two line items for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro - each approximately 2,000.00 MB in size. 
    I would like to know whether one of these is an unnecessary duplicate and if so, whether I can delete it without that affecting the program.  I'm hoping this will save a little space on my hard drive.
    Thanks so much for any advice.

    Thank you soo much!  I was tempted to delete one thinking it was actually a 2nd version taking up lots of unnecessary space.
    Cheers

  • Adobe Acrobat  9 Pro - How can I speed up my Batch Processing sequence

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.0.0
    My company upgraded from Adobe Acrobat 7 to Acrobat 9 recently. Now, whenever I run a batch sequence on one 2003 Word file, it takes over 20 minutes - that's one Word doc. Before with version 7, it took only a few minutes.
    My Batch Sequence has only one command - the Open Options command.
    Question
    What can I do to speed up this Batch Processing sequence?
    FYI
    My Word doc contains no graphic - merely text with a TOC and Index.
    PS
    My system has 3.50 GB of RAM

    I have advanced tagging turned off.
    I'm only using these two Word options:
    Convert cross-ref and table of contents to links.
    Convert footnote and endnote links.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: Printing Preferences display issue

    Hi everyone,
    A user reported an issue with the PDF Printer Preferences drop-down menus running outside the window and that there should be more checkboxes below the three that are showing (see screenshots).
    Here is a screenshot of this same window on a coworker's machine (same version of Adobe and Windows).
    We are using Windows XP SP3. Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.3.1), and current video driver. The resolution is currently set to max, but I tried a few other resolutions but they made no difference on how the PDF Printing Preferences displayed. I've tried repairing, uninstalling, restarting, and then reinstalling but none have done the trick yet. I also have checked the DPI settings and it is set to Normal.
    If you have any advise, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    SOLUTION:
    The issue was somehow related to DPI (START > Settings > Control Pannel > Display > Settings Tab > Advanced button). Eventhough the DPI was set to normal, I switched it to LARGE, restarted the machine, logged in after the reboot, changed it back to normal size, restarted again, logged in once more, checked the Printer Preferences and PRESTO --- a properly displayed window.
