Delete Pages, file size, PDF Optimizer Clean Up

Using Acrobat 9 Pro (for Windows, if that makes any difference).
I have a 148 page PDF of a magazine, about 58 MB in size.
I Deleted 40 pages of ads, leaving just the useful content.
The file size is still about 58 MB.
When I run Advanced -> PDF Optimizer,
the file size goes down to about 47 MB.
The Optimizer settings don't seem to matter.
Even with just "Clean Up" checked, all its options UNchecked,
and Compression set to "Leave Compression Unchanged"
the file size is still reduced.
I have tried several other PDF editors and tools,
and none of them reduce the file size after deleting the 40 pages,
even using their "optimize" or "compress" functions.
Can someone explain why deleting pages does not reduce the file size,
and what the Optimizer is doing (that the other tools don't do)
to reduce the file size ?
Thanks,
-- Glenn

in Adobe 9 Pro Windows, I found the best was:
Document -> Optimize Scanned PDF (defaults)... tho you could play w the slider bar for even smaller.

  • Delete pages in my .pdf file and save as another file?

    Just purchase the subscription to a year worth of converting files to word/excel.  However, the conversion isn't accurate and I only purchase this to enable me to delete pages in my pdf file that I don't want...

    1. Open your PDF file in Acrobat
    2. Select "Tools" from right top corner of the document windows
    3. Select " Manipulate Pages"

  • How to delete pages in a pdf file with mac OSX Mavericks?

    Indeed i don't have Pages options in my tools window... Is that normal for the mac version? Please it's urgent...

    Sorry, it was my fault. When I searched on the Internet, I was reading the Acrobat help pages, without knowing it, because in my research I wrote "how to delete pages in a pdf file with Adobe reader", i was just automatically redirected toward Acrobat help but i didn't notice.
    So no incorrect information exist in the Reader Help pages.

  • How can I delete pages from a pdf file

    How can I delete pages from a pdf file

    Hi timk,
    None of the Acrobat.com online services allow you to edit a PDF file. But, in checking your account, I see that you purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, and you can certainly use that to edit a PDF file.
    Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Standard? It sounds to me as though you may be opening the PDF file in Adobe Reader, rather than Acrobat. (Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files.)
    If you haven't already, download and install Acrobat from https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. Then, make sure that you're opening your PDF files in that rather than Reader, when you want to edit them.
    Please let us know how it goes!
    Best,

    Can we delete pages in a PDF file?

    You cannot delete pages in Reader on any platform. Reader is a reading app not an editing app.

    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.

    Hi Paul,
    Adobe Acrobat has the features to add/delete/extract/crop/insert pages to your PDF files and are much more features.
    Adobe Reader has  a very limited features for editing to PDF files.
    Now you can subscribe to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html
    Or you can download Acrobat XI Pro for trial version from www.adobe.com.

  • 10.6.8 user receives Acrobat X crash when deleting pages in large PDF

    I have a user that consistently has Acrobat X Pro crash on his whenever he is deleting pages from a PDF that has a large amount of pages.
    He says the crashing is regular with PDFs that consist of 10+ pages.  He shift+clicks to select multiple pages and upon hitting the Delete key, the program will freeze and eventually crash.
    He sent me over a crash log of the most recent event, if that is of any help.  I've pasted the crashlog header and the crashed thread:

  • Reduce pages file size while maintain picture resolution

    How do you have a small pages file size - <10mb - and still have a high resolution of my pictures in the doc

    The two are rather mutually exclusive.
    Quality, Number , Size - pick 2.
    You have not told us how many images, how large in dimensions and whether you are going to commercial print or convert it to pdf and email/post it.
    So it is hard to know the target.
    You can trim away the unmasked portions of the images in Preview and bring them back into Pages.
    You can ensure there is exactly the resolution you need in final size in the document, 150dpi for HG pdf for screen, or 300 dpi for print. Preview can adjust resolution.
    If this is meant for screen and not print you can resave the images as jpegs as lower quality in Preview. Be aware that this is a compromise, smaller size is lower quality and ultimately noticeable. The process is lossy.
    Vector (drawn) objects remain sharp and are very small compared to bitmap images, so use pdf or font graphics where possible.

  • Index file increase with no corresponding increase in block numbers or Pag file size

    Hi All,
    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and/or can help explain why it is happening....
    I have a BSO cube fronted by a Hyperion Planning app, in version 11.1.2.1.000
    The cube is in it's infancy, but already contains 24M blocks, with a PAG file size of 12GB.  We expect this to grow fairly rapidly over the next 12 months or so.
    After performing a simple Agg of aggregating sparse dimensions, the Index file sits at 1.6GB.
    When I then perform a dense restructure, the index file reduces to 0.6GB.  The PAG file remains around 12GB (a minor reduction of 0.4GB occurs).  The number of blocks remains exactly the same.
    If I then run the Agg script again, the number of blocks again remains exactly the same, the PAG file increases by about 0.4GB, but the index file size leaps back to 1.6GB.
    If I then immediately re-run the Agg script, the # blocks still remains the same, the PAG file increases marginally (less than 0.1GB) and the Index remains exactly the same at 1.6GB.
    Subsequent passes of the Agg script have the same effect - a slight increase in the PAG file only.
    Performing another dense restructure reverts the Index file to 0.6GB (exactly the same number of bytes as before).
    I have tried running the Aggs using parallel calcs, and also as in series (ie single thread) and get exactly the same results.
    I figured there must be some kind of fragmentation happening on the Index, but can't think of a way to prove it.  At all stages of the above test, the Average Clustering Ratio remains at 1.00, but I believe this just relates to the data, rather than the Index.
    After a bit of research, it seems older versions of Essbase used to suffer from this Index 'leakage', but that it was fixed way before 11.1.2.1. 
    I also found the following thread which indicates that the Index tags may be duplicated during a calc to allow a read of the data during the calc;
    http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1038502076/1038565646/index+file+size+grows+with+same+data+-
    However, even if all the Index tags are duplicated, I would expect the maximum growth of the Index file to be 100%, right?  But I am getting more than 160% growth (1.6GB / 0.6GB).
    And what I haven't mentioned is that I am only aggregating a subset of the database, as my Agg script fixes on only certain members of my non-aggregating sparse dimensions (ie only 1 Scenario & Version)
    The Index file growth in itself is not a problem.  But the knock-on effect is that calc times increase - if I run back-to-back Aggs as above, the 2nd Agg calc takes 20% longer than the 1st.  And with the expected growth of the model, this will likely get much worse.
    Anyone have any explanation as to what is occurring, and how to prevent it...?
    Happy to add any other details that might help with troubleshooting, but thought I'd see if I get any bites first.
    The only other thing I think worth pointing out at this stage is that we have made the cube Direct I/O for performance reasons. I don't have much prior exposure to Direct I/O so don't know whether this could be contributing to the problem.
    Thanks for reading.

    I haven't tried Direct I/O for quite a while, but I never got it to work properly. Not exactly the same issue that you have, but it would spawn tons of .pag files in the past. You might try duplicating your cube, changing it to buffered I/O, and run the same processes and see if it does the same thing.

  • Delete pages in a PDF

    To delete pages in a PDF do I need to purchase the Acrobat Acrobat XI Pro version or will the Standard version work?

    You can use Standard for this.
