Conversion to smaller size pdf = discarding objects ?
Using Adobe Acrobat 'Combine files' from a pdf of 19 MB including a bookmark menu (to the left) im creating a pdf of smaller size (optimized).
During the conversion the message " discarding selected objects " appears.
The new file no longer has the bookmark menu which i need.
Is it possible to create a file of smaller size without losing the bookmark menu??
The PDF Optimizer is under the Advanced menu. If you are using Std, you might be out of luck -- I do not think this module is part of Std.

Hello to all,
I am a frustrated photographer who is trying to make a flyer for my business in Pages. Of course the flyer will have high resolution images to advertise my work and text to explain my business. But i cannot work out how to then manipulate/save/export ???? my flyer as a PDF small enough to then send out to a potential client. My last attempt my PDF turned out at 30MB. Of course this is impossible to work with. How do i get a low res - with high quality PDF from something i have made in Pages. I do not have i web and need to solve this so that i can attach the PDF in an email.
Please any ideas or advice???carlaandstelios wrote:

You may reduce the size of the included images on two ways.
1) Crop the images to the size you need as in Pages the image have original size although the display may be framed.
2) Use the (menu bar) "Format -> Picture -> "reduce media size" option.
I would suggest to crop your images manually before or after placing in the Pages document and eventually reduce the color depth to at least 256 colors.
To export as PDF there are also two ways
1) Choose (menu bar) File - Print and there from the options "Print to PDF"
2) Choose Export -> PDF
I would not let the export automatic do the "Picture Quality" resize as the outcome is often not as expected.

How to create small size PDFs with reasonable quality images?
Help me Obiwan Adobe!
There seem to be several utilities around the web that claim to do this, but I figured I'd ask the experts first. There must be some sort of step by step technique outlined somewhere that enables you to create PDFs that have reasonable image quality but don't come with such extreme weight that they can't be emailed.
I have seen suggestions ranging from using the Print to PDF function in InDesign (sometimes that works, sometimes not), to exporting out of InDesign using the PDF/X1a preset (used to work ok, but now does not seem to crunch the files down as much as they used to) to adjusting preferences to a lower screen resolution—not in the export or save as dialog box—then saving as reduced size. I've tried almost every technique I have seen but to no avail.
So I assume there is something I am missing. In builiding an InDesign file that you want to severely compress, is it better to use JPEGs or other PDFs or something else for placed images?
I know it is alot to ask, and clearly native Acrobat functions are not much help, but I have several uses for this. I do a lot of book design and prefer to send drafts to clients that are at least good enough for them to look at without fuzzy images. I also would like to put together a portfolio PDF document that does not require sending through FTP. In fact most places that ask for my portfolio PDF want it smaller than 1.5 MB. That seems to be impossible.
So there you go. Somebody needs to write a book. In fact, if I get some good direction, maybe I'll do it.
Thanks
(Also posted in Acrobat forum.)If your PDF will be printed to any kind of quality requirement, it's best to stick with Adobe's own PDF tools for creation and slimming, rather than third-party.
Whatever choices you make for processing multiple PDFs, full Acrobat offers batch operations.
Depending on your clients' needs, you could consider providing several file sizes. For example, a small one with marginal graphic quality for email, and links to larger files of better quality. If bandwidth and download time are issues for clients, perhaps create a link from each marginal-quaity graphic in your small PDF to a single better-quality downloadable graphic.
An option for reducing file size instead of lowering resolution or using lossier compression, is to consider creating images with fewer bits-per-pixel. This would affect color more than detail. Just a thought.

Eprint fails to print large paper size pdf
Hello
I often need to plot long PDF drawings on my designjet 111 paper roll version. With the pdf reader or professional acrobat printing turns out mission impossible, when there are heavy raster data behind, so i wanted to use the eprint and share solution. Up to a lenght of about 1300 mm it works really well, however when trying with longer drawings the software refuses to print. Is there any method to print longer pdf's with eprint? Is this parameter plotter specific?
I tried as well to print my drawings with the designjet GoWeb virtual printer, that directly creates plt files. But with this solution i don't manage to control the scaling and some frame margins are cut.
I know many people dealing daily with similar problems when plotting pdf drawings on their plotters. Pdf is still a interchange and archive standard in civil engineering projects and a complete solution within eprint&share would probably be very appreciated.
Many thanks for your answers.
BernieHello Bob
i was led on this forum, because it concerns eprinting. i agree it would better fit the designjet forum.
I got an answer from HP concerning my problem and publish it here for info to other users.
kind regards
bernhard
answer from hp eprint+share team:
Sometimes a big PDF or DWG file appears as a non printable with the tip: "Not supported file size. Try to fit a smaller size".
The reason of that is the amount of pixels used to calculate the image is too large. The Adobe PostScript library used by ePrint&Share has a limitation for PDF and DWG conversions. Most of the HP printers work internally at 300dpi when the Draft quality is selected and in 600dpi when Normal or Best qualities are applied. Whit an internal resolution of 600dpi maximum plot length will be 1,3 m., and with an internal resolution of 300dpi maximum plot length will increase to 2,7m.
However, there is an exception with a set of printers that are using also 600dpi with Draft quality. In those cases the maximum length is always 1,3m. The printer list with this handicap is:
- HP Designjet T1100
- HP Designjet T1120
- HP Designjet T1200
- HP Designjet T1300
- HP Designjet T2300
- HP Designjet T610
- HP Designjet T620
- HP Designjet T7100
- HP Designjet T770
- HP Designjet T790
Keep in mind this is a question of the internal printer resolution. It does not mind the resolution of the image.
In the meantime, we recommend you to follow one of the next workaround:
Solution 1:
Step 1: Select Draft in the ePrint&Share quality menu for those printer that are not in the previous list.
In that case, DesignJet 111 printer can print in 300 dpi when "draft" option is selected.
Solution 2:
Step 1: Open the PDF you need to convert with a Adobe Acrobat (or any other program that can "save as..." the images with different formats)
Step 2: Convert the PDF file to a TIFF or JPEG format file.
Step 3: Add the file to ePrint&Share (in this way the file will appears as a printable file) and print it.
The conversion of a PDF vector file to a raster bitmap file format, is a step that the printer does internally to its predefined resolution when you send a vector file (PDF) to it. When you generates a TIFF you are doing, in advance, the printer job. Of course with two disadvantages:
- The bitmap files are bigger.
- When we resize a bitmap we are losing quality.
However, if you are generating a TIFF file format you could decide with which specific resolution and size you want to print your job, and in most cases, 150ppp is a good enough resolution.
If you have any doubt please not hesitate to contact us.
We apologize for any inconvenience. -
I am exporting .indd files from within Indesign as pdf files, opening in Acrobat Pro XI. I have no trouble creating the initial pdf file, however, when I go to Save Other > Reduced Size PDF I get error messages. Depending on the file, I receive either the message, "The font (Myriad Pro) contains bad/Widths" replacing the text with dots or "Cannot find or create the font (Helvetica) Some characters may not print or display properly" replacing text with dots or boxes.
My confusion is that the file is exporting to pdf from Indesign without error, it is only when I try to Save Other> Reduce Size PDF that the error occurs.
Also, it is only occurring on five out of 120 pages. These same fonts are on other pages and I have no trouble at all with exporting or Reduce Size PDF.
More frustrating is that I have never had this problem occur in all my previous versions of Acrobat using the same process and typefaces.
I am reaching deadline on this and cannot find a solution other than to reload Acrobat 9 and ditch this upgrade.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.I, too have experienced this issue. Upon export from INDD CS6, I see the error message "The font 'IXWIPX+SourceHanSansSC-Bold' contains bad \Widths."
The only items on the single-page InDesign document I'm trying to export are copies of a one-page PDF (which was extracted from a longer PDF, arranged into a cover format). I can provide all files as necessary. The longer document that the one page came from also experienced an error when I tried to print to Adobe PDF. While I still get a PDF of the cover on export, despite the "bad \widths" message, it won't print from certain machines. I get nothing (not even an empty shell file) from the attempt to print the larger document (where the cover elements came from) to PDF.
I can deal with these issues with a few unorthodox workarounds, but wanted to offer comments or volunteer to help test fixes if possible.
For the record, I'm really not enjoying Acrobat XI. It doesn't seem to have much by way of new features (at least not that I use), and some of those I used most in version X are gone or less functional. Common fonts like Times New Roman are often not found (even though they are definitely on my system); I have a much harder time editing text through the new interface, and I have a few other small gripes—some that I don't have time to get into, others that wouldn't really matter, except that they weren't a problem until I "upgraded." Just sayin'.
Thanks for listening. -
How to create a smallest file size pdf from indesign CS4 document
How to create a smallest file size pdf (suitable for upload to a website) from indesign CS4 document which contains multiple illustrator CS4 illustrations.
I have chosen the "smallest file size option" but the pdf file is over 30MB, can anyone help please.
Thank youOne trick is to
Set the placed graphics to have a transparency of 99.9% (you can do this with Find/Change and select Objects)
This is enough to force the graphics throught the Transparency Flattener
Next set the Transparency Blend Space to RGB (Edit>Transparency Blend Space)
Next set a custom Transparency Flattner Preset Edit>Transparency Flattner
Next
Use File>Export and choose
Smallest file size
PDF Compatibility Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
In Advanced Section - go to transparency and selec the new Flattener Preset you created.
*this will convert your vectors to raster, but it should reduce your file size -

Reduced size PDFs are displaying strange colors when viewed on Mac in Chrome browser
I've been routinely creating PDF files with screenshots for documentation, and then using File --> Save As --> Reduced Size PDF... before I put them online. In the past few days when I do this, there's a problem with the files:
when viewed on a Mac (OS X 10.9.4) using the Safari and Firefox browsers, everything's fine. But when viewed on the same Mac using Chrome, the screenshots are pink. If I open the same reduced size file on any other browser or in Preview, it's fine. The original sized PDF is fine, even when opened with Chrome. I'm using Acrobat Pro v 10.1.10.
I've tried rebooting, dumping PRAM, etc all with no effect. I've also taken source PDF files that I had previously 'reduced file size' -- that display fine -- and re-did the procedure. The new smaller files are pink. I suspect it may be a bug that crept into a recent update? All suggestions gratefully accepted.
thanks,
FranMake sure that you actually using Adobe Acrobat/Adobe Reader in Google Chrome. Google Chrome has a built in PDF Viewer that is now the default unless you specifically configure and enable Acrobat/Reader to be the default PDF viewer.

Save Small file PDF without Pixelation in Illustrator cs4
I need to send a small file size PDF proof to a client via email. But When i resample is to descrease the file size it becomes pixelated. Is there anyway to decrease the file size without sacrificing the picture quality through Adobe Cs4?
In order to produce a smaller PDF file in Illustrator (or any other app) you have to lower the images quality, assuming you are using images (as you mention pixelation). The option to compress text and line art artwork already comes activated by default, so that leaves you with the settings for color and greyscale images. You have two different settings, resolution (PPI ) and Jpeg compression level (Image Quality). If the file is meant to be viewed on the screen only up to 100% size, you can lower the resolution to 100 ppi, if it is going to be printed in an office printer, you need at least 150 ppi on the images. On the Jpeg compression level (Image Quality) I never go bellow "Medium" because the Jpeg compression artifacts get too visible (depending on the images, sometimes even Medium gets a little noisy). If with these settings the file still is to big (assuming you have turned off the "Preserve Illustrator Editing capabilities" option already) you have two choices: If it is a multipage file, split the file into several PDF files with a few pages each and send those in separate mails. Or, if it is a single page file, subscribe to a free online storage account (e.g. Sugarsync.com) and upload the file there and send a link of the file to the client so that he can download it from his computer (I always do).
Hope this helps... -
Creating small size table calendar on iPhoto 9
How can I create a small size table calendar (e.g 20x20 cm) on iPhoto (not the built-in wall calendar)?
Thank you
DucWelcome to the Apple Discussions. Does your printer support 20 x 20 cm borderless printing? If so the do Print->PDF->Save PDF to iPhoto. This will create a jpg of each page of the calendar and save it to a new album in iPhoto. Then print each page to 20x20 stock with the following print settings: Paper size: 20x20 border; Print size: Borderless.
If your printer doesn't support that size borderless and you don't want a border around each page then try Old Toad's Tutorial #8 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card. This requires an image editor that supports layers. -
I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.08) When performing "Save as" "Reduced file size pdf" Adobe processes for a while then completely stops, and has to close down. Just started doing that today.
I have Windows 8.1, and when I right click on the Windows flag (bottom left), the menu gives me a "Search" option. When I enter "%temp%", it goes to " "my username"/ appdata/temp" which is a list of file 1718 file folders. Many are empty but I did a small sample. Is that the right place to delete? I tried Windows- Disk Clean, but that did not help.

Sure - butyour text boxes may need work since being a different size may affect the view - to change duplicate the book just in case (select it and press command - D) and then go to themes and select the same theme in teh new size - closly verify the modified book and preview it -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

Is there a way to make the Toolbar Icons small size?
There is an option in almost every app to make the tool bar icons small size. My suppress is this is not the case with AP3.
Hard to believe.

all versions prior to a3 had it but for some reason they removed this option with aperture 3.

Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf
Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf
""This above link (thread:834599) is from a case back in 2011 that claims to solve this problem, but it does not solve this problem. I think that customer only cared about having continuous page numbering, not discrete page numbering per sheet.
========================
I still have this issue in Acrobat XI and MS Office Professional Plus 2010. I keep upgrading to no avail. This regression has resulted in a huge time drain for me. If you fixed it, please explain how I can get my hands on the resolution.
Previous versions of Excel and Adobe Acrobat enabled flexibility around the "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) token, depending on context and usage. The "# of pages" token could represent EITHER the number of pages in the workbook OR the number of pages in the tab/sheet, depending on how you generated the PDF:
You could select "Selected Sheets" and then select all or some of the individual sheets in the workbook, and the PDF would honor the discrete numbering of each of the sheets, so the first page of each sheet was p1 and the "# of pages" was the number of pages in the sheet; not the number of pages in the workbook; or
You could select "Entire Workbook" and the PDF would honor continuous page numbers across all sheets, as a single document.
Now, it only honors the total number of pages in the workbook, regardless of the method you use to publish to PDF: saving as PDF, printing to PDF, using "createPDF" from Acrobat plugin to Excel's menu ribbon; selecting all sheets, some sheets, or Entire Workbook; automatic First page number or "1" under Page Setup > Page> First page number. (This last option, btw, does restart every sheet at p1, but it hardly makes sense if the total number of pages is still the total number in the workbook instead of the number in the sheet.)
I spent a lot of time trying each which way that the blog posts recommended and have tried this on multiple versions of Excel and Acrobat now.
NONE of these time-consuming experiments gave me what I wanted.They all insist that "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) is the total number of pages in the workbook or the total number of pages in the selected sheets combined.
The numbering are correct in Excel Page Layout.
The same issue happens when using LibreOffice calc. (Although, I never tested with Libre Office before, so I don't know that it ever worked).
The workaround now is to create PDF for each spreadsheet one at a time, and then compile them using the Acrobat combine/binder feature. All alternatives are extremely time consuming and tedious. It used to be automatic. This is a major regression that has gone untreated for over a year now, maybe two years.
My task takes infinitely more time to complete than it did with previous versions of Acrobat. That means that days are added to my project, when the functionality used to enable a quick pdf generation that was ready for review, now I have to do this very manual time-consuming set of steps to generate a draft. As the project has grown and more tabs are added, my pdf-generation task takes that much longer. We require lots of drafts. It used to be easy and fast. Now it is hard and time-consuming.
In my opinion, the problem is not Excel; it is Acrobat because it was introduced with an upgrade in Acrobat, not an upgrade in Excel. The problem was introduced in Acrobat 9 or 10. Please provide a patch or add-on or something.If you are setting up the page numbers in Excel, the resulting PDF would display the the page numbers created in Excel. On Excel 2010 support page, (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/insert-and-remove-page-numbers-on-worksheets- HA010342619.aspx#BM2) is stated the following "tip" which indicates by default Excel 2010 starts numbering each tab with 1. Exel's workaround tip is below -
Set a different number for the starting page
Tip To number all of the worksheet pages in a workbook sequentially, first add page numbers to all worksheets in a workbook, and then use the following procedure to begin the page number for each worksheet with the appropriate number. For example, if your workbook contains two worksheets that with both be printed as two pages, you would use this procedure to begin the page numbering for the second worksheet with the number 3.
On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Dialog Box Launcher next to Page Setup.
On the Page tab, in the First page number box, type the number that you want to use for the first page.
Tip To use the default numbering system, type Auto in the First page number box.
Also helpful in the same section is the note on viewing page numbers. To see if the page numbering dilemma originates in Excel make sure you are using the Page Layout View see below:
Hide All
If you want numbers shown on pages when you print a worksheet you can insert page numbers in the headers or footers of the worksheet pages. Page numbers that you insert are not displayed on the worksheet in Normal view — they are shown only in Page Layout view and on the printed pages.
Overall it may be easier not to create the page numbers in Excel but instead create then in Acrobat using the Headers and Footers option in Acrobat. I hope this helps - it sounds like a frustrating issue you are experiencing.
