Enlarging/reducing document size when scanning.

Is it possible to enlarge/reduce a document size on the Deskjet 2540? My wife uses that function for her sewing patterns. If not capable, could someone please recommend software?
Thank you,
Tom

Hi,
No zooming function, you het 100% (size) of the original when scan. No need to buy any software, you can use Windows Paint to increase/decrease the scanned file.

Can it enlarge/reduce the size of copies?

For the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-In-One Printer, can it enlarge/reduce the size of the original when making copies? Same for the 8600 Plus?

Hi bevrich203,
You can place the original on the lower left of the scan glass.
I hope this helps. Happy New Year

Reduce document size of Pages document

I am new to Pages. I created a two-page document with text boxes and four photos. I reduced the size of each photo with the REDUCE IMAGE SIZE button. I clicked on "reduce document size" in the SAVE dialogue. I saved the document in PAGES format and a copy in WORD format.
The resulting document sizes are: Pages 1.6mb Word 168kb. The appearance is exactly the same. There was a message when the Word copy saved that some formatting wasn't saved, but it made absolutely no difference to the appearance and ability to edit and move and delete images in WORD.
I want to save the PAGES documents without all the extra formatting but I don't see a way to do it. I can't see making a library of thousands of documents, each between 1.5 and 2MB when I could have the same library take up 1/10th the space and load more quickly.
I am thinking about getting rid of MS OFFICE and going to iWORK 09 for my business, so this is an important issue as there are eight computers making documents all day long.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply to my question.
The WORD document has been deleted along with all the other "trial" documents. There were too many things I couldn't do in PAGES and NUMBERS that I have taken for granted in Excel and I just can't see going forward without those features.
I think the size of the document was less than 200k in Word... 180 perhaps. I can't recall. But the difference between a few hundred kb and 1.6 mb would add too much overhead when there are thousands of documents to deal with.
Thanks again for your offer of help anyway.

Photo size when scanning slides.

I recently scanned 900 Kodachrome slides most of them 50 years old. Following the instructions from a Silverfast tech I set the DPI at 1200 and selected tiff files. I now realize these pictures are 100 Mb each--way too big! Especially after editing which makes another copy. My question is whether I should start over and rescan all the slides at a much lower DPI or invest in some kind of software that will let me reduce the size. Either way will be time consuming but time is not really a problem for me. Also I would like your opinion as to whether I should use JPEG instead of TIFF if I decide to rescan. I want to make a slide show with 300 of these slides and burn it to DVD to watch on a 55" HDTV. Thanks for any help.

Another good way to do this is in Photoshop Elements. You can set it to do commands on batches of photos, in your case, to reduce the size from 1200 DPI to, say, 600 DPI. It may still take a while to actually do the reductions, but you won't have to be there, it'll do them automatically.
I used this feature once to reduce about 500 photos from original size to a lower resolution to fit on a sim card for a photo frame I gave my Mom a few years back. Worked like a charm.
You can also use the batch feature to change from tiff to jpeg, which is what I'd recommend. You really don't need tiffs for this type on on screen viewing. (But why not try a sample set of 10 or so, show them on the TV, and judge for yourself.)

How to reduce file size when using batch processing?

I use File > Process Multiple Files to batch process photos to a smaller file size along with adding my watermark. I've played with many different settings and no matter what I choose, I can't get my average file size to be less than about 200k. However, when I've exported the same photos using iPhoto, I can get the file size to about half of that with no difference (to my naked eye at least) in quality.
I definitely want to keep the height at 768 pixels so that needs to stay constant.
My current settings in batch processing (average file size = 200 kb)
Resize images with a height constraint of 768 pixels at 150dpi
What I've tried:
Resize at 72dpi (reduced file size by about 5kb)
convert file to JPEG low quality (reduced file size by about 10kb)
convert file to JPEG medium quality (not much difference in file size)
I'm using PSE 10 on a Mac running Lion.
Thank you in advance for your help!

You should go with default settings of Optimizer.
One difference between default settings of Optimizer and Reduce file size is that Optimizer does not guarantee a reduction in file size (if your Optimizer settings lead to an increase in file size, that's what you will get).
With Acrobat 9, the default setting in Optimizer has an additional setting which would not do an image optimization that results in increase of file size. In that sense it would in most cases give a smaller file.

Reduce Doc Size When Exporting

Is there a way to reduce a page size when exporting from InDesign? I have a 20 x 30 poster want to export at 50% and make the pdf @ 10 x 15. Thanks.

by print to pdf do U mean make a ps file instead of exporting, correct?
Well, here's the thing... the orig question was a generalization of what we are trying to do.
The actual file is 19 pgs of panels that are 20 x 30. We need to make pdfs for the client to look at on screen. The file is huge when we try to make pdfs by exporting... even at the smallest file size and then reduce file in Acrobat. We found that reducing the doc size & making pdf yields a much smaller and more manageable file size, but it takes very long to postscript. We were just trying to avoid that step. Thought for sure the was a way to reduce the output size when exporting.

Reduce document size

I received an e-mail with a .pdf document attached that is "oversized". Is there any way to reduce the size of the document to print on letter size paper? Please help!

Thank you so much! I looked this up on the knowledge base and did find the answer...but I could not seem to find the "page scaling". I guess because it was right in front of my face!

Reducing document size for email

Hi, I am trying to send an email attaching 15 pg doc. It keeps rejecting saying file is too large. Can I put all 15 pgs in 1 attachment (currently 15 attachments) and reduce the size somehow so it goes through?

iPhoto does not work on photos that are not in its database
in iPhoto you can select a photo and click on mail (if you have configured your iPhoto preferences for your mail client) and select actual, large, medium or small as the size to mail - if you are using the mail program there is a similar menu in the lower right hand corner of the compose window
If none of those options work in iPhoto you can export (file menu ==> export) and set the exact pixel dimensions you want - for "good" quality I would want at least 200 dpi so the resulting JPEG would need to be at least 1600 x 2000 and 2400 x 3000 would be better
I certainly would use a JPEG rather than a TIFF to get the best quality relative to the size
TIFFs give a small quality improvement for a large size increase

HT4114 Reduce file size when projecting onto large screen?

Hi,
Does "Reduce File Size" reduce the quality of an image or video that is being projected from my iPad 3 onto a 10ft screen via VGA adaptor? I'm teaching a film class, and multiple film clips and stills seem to cause Keynote to grind to a near halt. We can't really get the room adequately dark, so I really don't want to reduce image quality any further.
Thanks in advance for any help suggestions!

Gretchen ~ I don't know the answer, but can say that I know of only one process that reduces file size without reducing image quality. Perhaps others will chip in here with more suggestions...
The free "JPEGmini" reduces the file size of JPEG images without reducing their dimensions or perceivable quality. The Web version allows you to upload and downsize one image at a time. The Mac App version avoids uploading and allows you to downsize up to 20 images per day for free.

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.

Output is reduced in size when printing PDF documents with Preview

When I print a PDF file with Preview the printed output seems to be about 20% smaller than actual. If I print the same file with Adobe Reader for Mac the output is normal and not reduced. Other file types do not seem to have the same issue. I don't recall having this problem before I upgraded to Leopard. Any ideas?
Thanks
Jack

Hi Jack,
If you have a rummage through Preview's Preferences and look at the scale settings in the 'PDF' tab, do you have it set to respect the 100% scale factor of the PDF? This can sometimes affect the scaling when the PDF was formated for a different paper size from the one you're trying to print it on. If everything there seems to be ok, try comparing the two different expanded print diaogs which you receive in Preview and Adobe Reader, looking at things like scaling and paper-size again.

Why Does Save As-PDF/A reduce file size when I don't want it to?

I scanned a 4-paged printed card with my Epson Perfection 4490 scanner in order to digitally archive it. Each page is about 5x7 inches, and I scanned at 100 percent. I scanned each page as an individual TIFF image file, at 600 samples per inch.
I brought each TIFF image file into Photoshop one at a time. I saved each TIFF as a JPEG, at Quality: 8, Baseline ("Standard").
Then, I brought the JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a 4-paged PDF. Initially, the file size of the saved 4-paged PDF was 5 MB. (Later, I determined the individual JPEG's add up to 5.2 MB.) When saving as PDF/A, the final format that I want to use, the file size was unexpectedly reduced from 5 MB to 2.5 MB.
What is the reason for the file size being reduced to 2.5 MB? I had already done the compression that I wanted in Photoshop. The PDF was not downsampled. I purposely did not use Optimizer.
I did a test. This time, in Photoshop, I compressed each TIFF to JPEG, at Quality: 5, Baseline ("Standard"), the Medium setting instead of the High setting. After bringing these JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro, the saved 4-paged PDF was 2.8 MB in size, an expected smaller size. Saving as PDF/A produced a file of 2.6 MB in size, very close to the same size this time, possibly indicating it accepting the Medium quality level.
Apparently, saving as PDF/A reduces the quality level of JPEG's to Medium quality, when they are of higher quality to begin with. It seems to be designed to optimize even when I don't want it to.

Here's the Audit Space Usage for the original 5 MB file. It shows the images taking up the majority of the space, as expected:

Reduce original size when copying

HELLO:
I am using an HP ENVY 5530 EPRINTER , Print, scan, copy, web, and want to copy something. From its original size i want to shrink it down a bit. I went thru the settings and did that all right. HOWEVER, where do i go from there in order for it to print. When i go to RESIZE and hit done, the little screen shows 1 of 3 , and if i go back to beginning, I'm right where i started from; THE BEGINNING!!
NEED YOUR HELP.
THANKS,

Hi,
You could try scanning the document/image rather than copying it.
Once you have it scanned, use the print software to print the scanned documet/image to whatever size you want. The printing options should be much more extensive than the copying options.

IPhoto keeps reducing photo size when I crop (from 3MB to 500KB). I want to keep the edited versions at the higher MB size! Any help with this?

I've been using iPhoto for years with good success. Recently, when I edit and crop artwork photos, it's been saving the cropped photo as a much smaller version, going from around 3MB to only 500KB or smaller. I need the cropped version to be as big as the original. Not sure why this is happening but could use some help in making it stop. Thanks!

Hi,
I know that I'm cropping the physical file but in the past this wasn't an issue for the size of the cropped piece. Even if I take just a little bit away, the file size is somehow getting deeply reduced. Resolution is still fine on the screen or for a quick email, but for when I need to make a high quality giclee print for a client, the 500Kb size just won't do. I need to retain the 2Mb original quality. I'm attaching the examples here. And thanks so much for helping !

Mail reduces image size when forwarding!?

When I forward an email (I use Mail - v6.6 on 10.8.5) the image in the email becomes reduced from 556KB to 20KB which renders it unusable when received.
Can anyone tell me where settings are to stop this happening? I want to forward full size, full res images.
Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

Found the answer! In Mail, at top right hand side of the message pane, there's a little drop down menu for 'Image Size'. Once you set it, it stays at that setting until you change it. It'll then stay at the setting you've changed it to until you decide to change it again. See images attached.
Let me know how if it works for you.
