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.

Do you have to use Preview or would a third party utility like PDFShrink be acceptable?
(Also look at the Similar Softwar section on that page I linked to.)

How do I reduce the size of a Keynote file beyond the reduction of zip?
Why do you need it smaller, what size is the file, what's in the file that you think is making it large.
If your trying to reduce file size to send by e-mail, use a file transfer service instead: Dropbox.

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 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.

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.

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 can I reduce the size of a gif file?

Hello, I'm trying to save a 88 layer image as .gif file. there are two questions I have:
1. I'm trying to resize the image but when I try to save it as .gif the colors are just messed up and greyish. how can I resize it without messing up the pixel colors?
2. What's the best way to reduce the file size? Is it the dimension of the image? is it the number of colors used in it? or there is another options that i need to manipulate to get a better result?
thanks in advance.

The thing is, my friend is using imageready and he says his files have about 150 layers but only 2-3MB
You need to understand how GIF compression works. It doesn't matter whether you have 1 or 500 layers, 20 or 500 frames of animation. Hell, even the image dimensions do not necessarily matter. The only determining factor for file size is how many colors are spread across the size of the image or the frames, respectively, and those, as the others said can never be more than 256. after that, it is down to how many contiguous areas there are in the image and how large they are - large solid areas are better to compress than many small areas as the overhead increases. I suggest you give these things some consideration first before blindly pushing buttons, which - no offense - is what you seem to be doing right now. You are guessing what might look good, but don't understand how to control it to make it better.

How can i reduce the size of my psd file?

I have made a standee of 6'x3' using photoshop. And somehow the size has exceeded 1GB. I have substituted the vectors i had used and the high resolution images with equal sized pngs images (hope that will not create problems?) but the size is still 199MB. the other standees i made using corel draw are a mere 892KBs give or take. What else can i do to reduce my file size in this case??

As Noel and JJMack already said - you are possibly overdoing. You should read up on "resolution" vs. "dimensions" - from a distance, nobody can see those 300 DPI. Common resolution for such stuff is much smaller. As to your otehr matter - I would think Corel Draw is embedding a JPEG natively without modifying its data, hence no change in file size. That's just not how it works in PS, but again Noel is right - 1 GB is not that uncommon and even one of our 5 year old machines with WinXP 32bit and just 2GB RAM can still handle it. It's just not particularly fast... Anyway, many times files will get considerably smaller if you do not use the maximum compatibility setting. That way no composite previews, rasterized extra channel data and a bunch of otehr things won't be embedded in teh file. However, these files can only be used in PS itself, so if your job requires to hand them off to someoen who is using CorelDraw or anotehr program, this would not be of any use to you...

How can I adjust the size of a iPhoto file for a Google Picasa web album?

It is taking forever to upload my photos from iPhoto to a Google Picasa account. My photos are being uploaded exactly the same size they are in iPhoto. I can only upload 5 photos at a time in the Picasa album and It takes about 5 minutes for each upload. I know there must be a way to reduce the MBs, but so far I have not had any luck figuring it out. I would appreciate any insight into this problem.

Export the pics from iphoto to the desktop (File -> Export) you can reduce the file size of them in the process. Then upload them from there.
