How do I decrease .PDF file size?

I'm creating .pdf files from work I'm doing in Indesign CS5 and the file size is HUGE.  I need to send the client (email) the pdf files in a smaller file size for approvals.
Any suggestions?

When exporting use the smallest size settings or reduce file size in Acrobat using optimizer.

    how to reduce a PDF file size under Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The size is now 23MB; I need it to be less than 4MB. thanks

    I've found in Pdf's many time when you go to Optimize a PDF and look at the font list there are often up to a 1/2dozen copies of a given font, say Helvetica, then that many Helvetica Bold, or Arial or Ariel Italic
    What I do ie remove from list all but one copy of each different font. often dramatically reduces the size. also something lese is Flattening images will in some cases reduce a file size. I have run into a case where it actually made a PDF Larger.

  • How to decrease PDF file size without losing quality of images and vector lines?

    I have several ai files that I saved as PDFs. Now I'm having problem with the size of this combine files. Can some one assist me with the proper way on decreasing file size without losing quality.
    Thank you.

    I am having the same problem with a different file that's in a different format mentioned above. I'm trying to convert a ".srf" file and turn it into a ".pdf." I was successful doing this but my image, once in a .pdf was also pixilated.
    I thought if I convert my ".srf" file to a ".jpeg" first, then bring this newly created ".jpeg" into a ".pdf," I would have more luck. But unfortunately the free download I got on my computer that's supposed to convert any file to any file, CANNOT convert ".srf" files to ANYTHING!
    Does anyone have any ideas? Or any specific programs I should get?
    Thanks!

  • How do I decrease the file size of my After Effects video without losing the quality?

    I made a video that was 7 minutes and 11 seconds long for my brothers wedding. The quality is really good but the file size is 1.52 GB and I would rather have that be in the megabytes so that I can send it to family members. It does not have to be so low that I can send it in an email but just not so big to where I can't burn it to a disc or place on a flash drive. I realize that I have not provided much information but I don't know what you will need to help me with this problem. If you would please tell me what information you need below then I will happily provide it for you.

    Please give me a suggestion on this

  • How do I reduce the file size of a pdf to email?

    I have a 260 MB pdf file generated from Photoshop 6.  I can't seem to reduce the size in Photoshop.  Is there anyway to reduce the pdf outside of Photoshop?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Scott,
    That's a pretty big PDF! You'll have to reduce it pretty dramatically to attach it to an email. But, you can use Acrobat to reduce the file size. Please see this video for pointers: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-compress-a-pdf-file
    If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • How do you minimize a file size in a PDF?

    Help!  I just need to minimize a file in a pdf- how?

    You mean reduce the PDF file size?  You need Acrobat for that; Adobe Reader cannot do anything like it.
    Also, how much you can reduce the file size much depends on its contents.  I have seen PDFs reduced down to 10%, others just by a few KB.
    P.S. why do you need to reduce the file size?

  • How to create a smallest file size pdf from indesign CS4 document

    How to create a smallest file size pdf (suitable for upload to a website) from indesign CS4 document which contains multiple illustrator CS4 illustrations.
    I have chosen the "smallest file size option" but the pdf file is over 30MB, can anyone help please.
    Thank you

    One trick is to
    Set the placed graphics to have a transparency of 99.9% (you can do this with Find/Change and select Objects)
    This is enough to force the graphics throught the Transparency Flattener
    Next set the Transparency Blend Space to RGB (Edit>Transparency Blend Space)
    Next set a custom Transparency Flattner Preset Edit>Transparency Flattner
    Next
    Use File>Export and choose
    Smallest file size
    PDF Compatibility Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
    In Advanced Section - go to transparency and selec the new Flattener Preset you created.
    *this will convert your vectors to raster, but it should reduce your file size

    Reducing PDF file size or Optimizing PDF is the feature that is supported only by Acrobat Pro (desktop app that is not free).
    Optimizing PDFs (Acrobat Pro)
    Free Adobe Reader products (Reader XI desktop, Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, Reader Touch for Windows 8, etc) do not offer the capability.

    However PDF compression in general depending on format (pdf-A, pdf-X, etc etc) may not work or work well.

  • How can I reduce the file size of a pdf when exporting?

    I don't want to just choose between high quality print or smallest file size.
    I want to export it from 60MB to 40MB.
    Can I do this manually? When I use smallest file size the quality is too low and the content looks bad.
    But high quality print exports my PDF at 60MB which is too big.

    You cannot simply legislate the size of a PDF file. If you content is primarily text and vector, there is not much at all you can do to reduce PDF file size other than to cut out content. Otherwise, the only other variables are those of downsampling and compressing the raster images from your content.
    You must be very careful in choosing the PDF export settings. The “smallest size” settings yield PDF files that realistically really are not fit for printing and may mess up any CMYK colors. The “high quality print” and “PDF/X-4” settings yield best print output, but yield the largest PDF files since they do less image resolution downsampling and only the maximum quality lossy JPEG compression.
    I would recommend that you start with either the “high quality print” or the “PDF/X-4” settings and make a custom set of export settings. Assuming that you aren't going for offset or gravure printing, change the color image and grayscale image downsampling values from 300 and 450 to either 200 and 275 or no less than 150 and 225. If that doesn't give enough file size reduction, change the compression image quality from “Maximum” to either “High” or no less than “Medium.” Beyond these changes, you may end up with PDF files that will neither print nor display with any reasonable quality.

  • How do I redice the file size?

    Hi:
    I'm using Pages 1.0.2 for the first time. I created a nice 2-page file with the intention of emailing such a file on a monthly basis.
    Unfortunately, the finished file is HUGE (15MB), making it impossible to email.
    I tried Export > HTML format. Surprisingly, when I open the new Safari HTML page, alignment hasn't been preserved. Images are all over the place.
    Is Pages an applicable app with which I can email its finished files?
    If so, how can I shrink the file size substantially?
    If not, what optional apps are as stunning as Pages but aren't humungous?
    TIA,
    Warren

    Warren,
    Pages isn't the application you want to use to create HTML, despite its marketing by Apple. You've already bumped into its limitation -- it often scrambles formatting.
    But you can easily save your document as a PDF file, and reduce its size at the same time. Click on File > Print, then in the Copies & Pages menu, select Colorsync. In the Quartz Filter menu, select Reduce File Size.
    Another thing to consider before you've even gotten this far: since you're emailing this file, it's not necessary to have high-resolution images. Oftentimes, that, more than anything else, will bloat a file. So you might want to use an image-editing app to decrease the resolution of your images.
