How can I get a really large (30MB) InDesign file to a PDF under 10MB?

It's a 20-page document including dozens of photos and a few vector graphics which are .pdf or .ai, respectively. All are links, not embedded. I created the document for print, but now need a version to post on a website which has a max size of 10 MB.
I've tried a whole bunch of things including:
Selecting Export to Adobe PDF as "smallest file size"
Reducing the size in Photoshop of all of the linked photos. (FYI, they now range from 1MB to 4MB)
Saving the PDF as a reduced size PDF.
When exporting to PDF, compressing all images down to 72 ppi. (This got me to the smallest size I've been able to get: just over 18 MB)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure waht content streams are, but there are some options for them in the Cleanup section when you run the optimizer. I'd uncheck the images and fonts boxes entirely (since you've already downsampled theimages externally and I don't think you want to unembed the fonts), then look through the otions inthe other sections.
Personally, the only thing I don't check inteh Discard Objects section is embedded page thumbanils, but all discarding them will do is remove them from the navigation pane so no major harm done, and under Dicard User Data I tend not to discard Document Information and Metadata (though I would do that to try to reduce size even more if necessary) and object data.

  • I have iphoto '08 version with an imac osx 10.5.8. It will not read my RAW files  from my Nikon D800 - a very new model.How can I get it to read my RAW files?

    my somewhat old imac osx 10.5.8 with iphoto '08 will not read my RAW files from my new Nikon D800 camera - a new model on the market( 5 months or so). How can I get iphoto to read my RAW  files?

    iPhoto 08 would not read RAW files from that new a camera. You need to upgrade so you can get more up-to-date version of OS X and iPhoto. Another possiblity is see if iPhoto 11 will run on 10.5.8, if so you should update. You can also attempt to run Software Update and see if it finds a newer release of iPhoto 08 that supports newer RAW formats.

  • How can i get my email out of the file box icon?

    How can I get my email out of the file box icon? Sometimes I touch it by accident and the email message goes in there.

    Another thing to try is renaming it with a .htm or .html extension.
    If that doesn't work either, do you have any other files from your old system? In particular, if you have your old places.sqlite file, you could use that to overwrite your new places.sqlite (bookmarks+history) file.

    I have a recorder that outputs wma files. How can I get garageband to use my wma files?

    I don't think that GarageBand can use wmas, but there's always good old conversion, and GarageBand can definitely use mp3s. Personally, I recommend media.io for stuff like this, but of course it depends on the size of your files. Otherwise I don't know that there's anyway to get GarageBand to work with them...

    Hello Gana,
    Actually while exporting the data using Info Spoke, we have the possibility to modify the data that we send. This is possible using transformations.
    In your Info Spoke, you have a tab called Transformations.
    Here you need to create an implementation and then use BADi to populate data.
    Check if you can write a start routine sort of thing here and insert a new record into the internal table by hardcoding with your field headings.
    Let me know if you dont know how to create transformations.

  • How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

    How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
    (Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album.  That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing.  Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

    Thanks for your replies ckuan
    I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work.  It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer.  The folder structure is completely missing.  I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better.   Bye bye iTunes!!
    Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
    1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler.  Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler.  Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure.  OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files.  No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
    2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted.  iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library.  Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
    3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

  • How can I get firefox to open a local file on Windows 8.1via File:open?

    I am trying to open a file from the desktop for viewing as a webpage. It is edited in MS Word. When I open the file it just shows the the text of the file, which is html code, it does not run the file as a webpage. How do I get the file to run as a webpage? Thank you.

    Make sure that the file has the .html file extension.
    That should be sufficient.
    Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • Terminal how can i get the picture dimension of a file?

    Is it possible to get the dimension of an picture (120 x 120 px) via terminal command? The information is visible under the finder "getinfo" command for picture files. Can anyone help?

    You can get image pixel size info using the ImageMagick utilities, which is a GNU package available for installation via the fink pacakage manager, then you can use the terminal command:
    identify image.gif
    ImageMagick also has several other useful conversion and image processing utilities.
    http://www.finkproject.org/
    http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php
    Good luck.
    P.S. - There may be ways to interact with AppleScript from Terminal to get the Finder info from a file, but I don't know how to do that.

  • How can I get the umlauts back when I convert a German pdf-file?

    I translate German (patents mostly) into English and need to convert German pdf-files into

    Hi!
    Sorry about the problems. Can you please send us a copy of the file here with a brief description so we can take a look at it? In most cases, the umlauts should be retained when converting from PDF to Word.
