How can reduce the size of my pdf file?

Hi There,
I need to reduced a scanned pdf document which is 23MB in to a smaller size so it's acceptable for email.

Acrobat can reduce PDF file sizes.  However, by how much depends largely on its content.
On the other hand, sending e-documents as email attachments is never a good idea - they can get damaged, misdirected, lost, and there is always the file size limit.
Much better is to use a file sharing service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, ...) - upload and share the document, then send the download link by email.

  • How to reduce the size of a PDF file from a 10.26 MB to a 2.0 MB?

    I have save my file using Adobe and converted it to a PDF file size 10.26MB but the file is too large....how do I reduce the size of the file to upload to a website?.  It needs to be PDF size 2.0 MB

    The free Reader can do nothing to shrink the files. Acrobat can reduce them somewhat but I think that not to the extent that you want, although it can also separate them in smaller files. Depending on the specific files, it may be better to reduce them in the originals from which the PDFs were made; for example, by lowering the resolution of images.

    Not do-able with Reader. Acrobat Pro can reduce PDF file size, but... if it's text only (no media or images) it won't reduce any more than it already is.

    The other alternative is the Save As Other>Reduce File Size. The PDF Optimizer gives you more control. You might also use the audit feature in the PDF Optimizer to see where the size problem is coming from. You might find that in the WORD file you can select and image and then go to the FORMAT (pictures) menu and select compress for all of the bitmaps in the file. That will typically use 150 dpi by default that is adequate for most needs.

  • I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries)

    I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries) & is up to 1.36 GB in size. I have tried reducing file size in preview but the images are unreadable. Any ideas? 

    WHen I want to reduce the file size, I either use "Optimize Scanned PDF", or more often use "Reduce File Size". Both are on the Document menu. The Reduce File Size selection has some limited customization that is used, when selected.

  • How do I reduce the size of a PDF file for emailing?

    I have scanned a document on my Canon Printer.  The size is very large about 14 Megabytes.  I do not know how to reduce the size so that I can send it via Mail.  I have searched HELP but have not as yet found an answer.  One suggestion was that in my Mail window there is an option to reduce the size of the attachment but I see no such option in my email. 

    Another option for sending large files is to use :
    http://www.filedropper.com/
    You upload the files to the website and it creates
    a URL that you can copy and paste into an email
    which you send to the recipient and they use the
    generated link to get the file.

  • How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

    I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

    Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
    You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
    If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
    Best luck.

  • Is there a way to reduce the size of my PDF file, created (or I should say, Exported) in InDesign.

    I created a 10-page sale flyer in InDesign CS5 which will be viewed on our website. When I export it as a PDF file, even with the compression at "minimum", the size is still 3.8 MB.
    Is there a way to reduce the size of the PDF file? with InDesign or another tool out there?
    Thanks for your help!

    To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
    Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
    Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

  • How to reduce the size of my pdf X3:2002 for online printing

    Hello Adobe,
    I have been creating a photobook (33 x 28 cm) with my photo editing software.
    The problem is, that I've got a PDF X3 2002 with around 7 GB and the online printing office accepts only 2 GB.
    What can I do, how can I reduce this large pdf in 2 GB?  I'm working with Acrobat X Pro.
    Thanks for your help,
    Best,

    You are sending public messages, don't worry about that. It's working fine. Now, rather than trying to share screen shots and send PDFs, please focus on answering ALL of my questions. Thanks. I will recap. If any of the questions don't make sense, just say so. We need to stay focussed, not go off on a tangent.
    - the size in pixels and inches (or mm) for your photos.
    - what app you use for layout
    - What is the EFFECTIVE resolution you are using for your images (not the original ppi, but adjusted for layout size)?
    - How are you making up the pages?
    - How do you make the PDF? -
    - What PDF compression settings are you using?

    You have two options:http://www.screencast.com/t/p3srGDGP
    In this screen shot I have two method chosen.
    the one highlighted in yellow is more effective, except in the case where the pdf was from a Scan which is graphics only.
    select the one in yellow first and click on Fonts. Remove all duplicates. for some reason, I don't know if its defect in Acrobat, but usually multiple copies of the exact Font will show up and some cases there will font families not even used in your document.  remove all duplicates.
    Note: Duplicates do not mean for example: Helvetica, Helevetica Bold, Helvetica Bold Italic (these are three different fonts).
    You can reduce the quality of the graphics used and so on while in menu.
    The feature highlighted in green  more or less just reduce the general qaulity of the PDF. and may work for some PDF's

  • How to reduce the size of icons and descriptions of pallets?

    Hi!
    1. The "Control bar" is still something missing and to display the location of the same functions are different depending on the selected tool.
    Therefore, the tools will I need to keep an eye on pallets or icons. But description of the pallets is too great for me, takes place and I can not see as many pallets as I need.
    2. The idea to create multiple workspace and its continuous change is not good for me.
    When I work I prefer to have the tools at its one location, then I can rely on My reflexes when choosing a tool, and not constantly look where this time or constantly switch the workspace.
    3. How to reduce the size of icons and descriptions of pallets I, then he could fit more pallets in one column?
    Best Regards!
