Reducing pdf size: How can I reduce a pdf document for MAIL?

I am having trouble getting a mail pdf attachment to be accepted by my server. I am looking for a way to reduce the digital size of the pdf (report) so that it will be a size acceptable to my server (tds). How can that be done? What steps should I take?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The Quartz Filter in Finder might help.
Open the pdf file in Preview.
Then File, Save As, (Format PDF) checkmark the Quartz Filter, and select Reduce File Size.
In my test example, a 4 page .pdf file of a newspaper article including lots of text and two large color photos was reduced from 573KB to 147KB.
But do test the results first, by giving the test file a new name instead of saving 'over' the original.
The text remained sharp, but the included photos became noticably pixelated at 100% size.

How can I search a pages document for any of a string of words?

I am a teacher and would like to search some short stories for vocabulary that I think will help my students get ready for the SATs one day. I have a long list of SAT vocabulary, close to 1,000 words, and I'm wondering if there's any quick way to just put those words into the Find menu and have it search for ANY of those individual words, rather than the whole string. Is that possible?
Also, info on the arrival of the next version of iWork ('13?) would be awesome.
Thanks.

Reader cannot convert files to Word. There is an ExportPDF service with its own forum to help with issues to the service. However, converting files to Word is by its very nature an iffy proposition. How well it works depends upon the content of the file and how it was created.

Hi trueman9299,
ExportPDF uses OCR (optical character recognition) to convert image (scanned text) to editable/selectable text, but it doesn't translate from one language to another.

how can i convert a pdf document fully

What do you want to convert a pdf to? There is the Adobe ExportPDF service and of course Acrobat can convert files as well as long as you want to convert to Word or perhaps Excel. The quality of the conversion depends upon its content and how it was created. If you want to convert it do a different format then you have to give us more info.

How can i edit a PDF document?

would like to edit a pdf doc. how can i do that?

It is always best to edit the source document - MS Word, for example - then create a new PDF. If the source document is not available, you can try saving the PDF as a Word document. Sometimes that works reasonably well, other times not so much. It is possible to make small edits using the Content Editing tools in Acrobat, but do not expect too much. Acrobat is not a word processor.

How can I send a PDF form for someone to complete, then lock it for no one to see except us when they send it back?

We would like to create a PDF form to collect sensitive information (phone numbers, payment information) from our customers. Ideally, we would like for them to be able to fill it out, then hit a button to encrypt it when completed, and send it back to us for us to view. Kind of like sending out an open, self-locking box for them to fill, and once they close it no one can see the contents without the key (which we would have).
I’m using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.07) on Mac OSX (10.9.4).
Is this possible? If so, how do I do this? Thank you in advance!

You can use certificate encryption. Each of your customers needs to have a digital certificate with a private key and send you the public key version of his/her certificate. You also need to have a digital certificate with private key and to send each customer the public version of your certificate. Then after each customer fills in your form, she encrypts it with certificate encryption entering as recipients herself and you before sending this PDF to you. This way only this particular customer and you can open and see PDF filled with sensitive information.
This workflow presumes that you and each of your customers can procure a digital certificate (Digital ID in Acrobat-speak).

How can I open a PDF Document faster?

I am opening multiple large PDF's that have comments and signatures on them and it takes a very long time for the Plug Ins to load, Ive gone in an removed the Plug Ins I dont need and only kept the few I do to actually comment back and sign the documents, but it still takes a very long time to load and eats up a good amount of my memory.

Hold down the shift key when starting Acrobat (not sure it works with double clicking on a PDF). The shift key should disable the loading of plugins.

How can I combine separate pdf documents into one document with several pages

I have been using Preview to separate pdf pages into separate pdf documents. How might I do the reverse. Preview appears to have combined the documents in the thumbnail, but will not allow saving this. It just saves the highlighted page.

Open all the documents. Choose View > Contact Sheet. All the pages will be shown as thumbnails, separated by document. Select the pages you want in the final document and drag them into the desired order, in one document space.
