How do I shrink an Adobe file?

How do I shrink an Adobe file. It's too large to send.

By "Adobe file" you mean a PDF?
Acrobat can reduce (optimize) PDF file sizes, but only to a certain degree - depending on its contents.
But far better than sending PDFs or other e-documents as email attachments is using a file sharing service (like Acrobat.com Workspaces, Dropbox, Google Drive, ...), then share the file and send the download link by email.

How can I reduce an Adobe file that I load fro a CD

How can I reduce an Adobe file that I load fro a CD.
It is 10mb and is text only.
I need to send it in an email and would like to reduce it to 3 mb
Any help is appreciated,

OK. A couple of things. You don't really have a text file. It's a scan, so it's actually a photo of letters that isn't searchable or stored as text. I'm sure that if it was really text it could be measured in tiny KB (not MB), like a long email. If you want to convert it to real text, use some software that runs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on it. That would result in an extremely small file for truly searchable text.
OCR software comes with many scanners but usually not with the cheapest scanners. Some shareware can do it. Acrobat can do it (the paid version not the free version).

That may seem bizarre but it is normal. A file must be re-encoded for network compatibility during e-mail transmission, and that causes some types of files to bloat back up. If you can, OCR it so that you are no longer trying to send a bloated scanned photo of words and letters. If you continue to try to send it as a scan, it will remain hundreds of times larger than it needs to be. If you don't have a way of running OCR on it, at least Malcolm's suggestions above will help bring it down, maybe enough to send. But the form it is in right now is a tremendous waste of disk space.

How do i shrink a dvd file size

hi this proberbly very easy but i don't know how to do it so it isn't to me ,
I want to copy my childrens discs because they leave them lying around and the get knackered so i thought if i just give them the copy and stash the original it would be great anyway , when i try to copy the disc it the original files are around 7.3gb and most the blank dvd discs out there seem to be 4.7 , is there a way round this i usually use toast to burn my discs, lou

Yes.
But then again, this only applies to DVDs you own, and only for making backup copies of them. DO NOT COPY MOVIES YOU DO NOT OWN, IT IS ILLEGAL!
BTW, there is also DVD2OneX, to shrink the movies.

How do I find the Adobe file containing my documents

I am trying to apply for a job and I need my resume located at: https://cloud.acrobat.com/file/ccddd5e7-36ac-4c89-bf43-cd2068d3b344 and the file name is: Robert Half Company, Accountemps Resume 11-19-2014.pdf..... The file name was not accepted when I entered "Robert Half Company, Accountemps Resume 11-19-2014.pdf... How can I retrieve the file through browsing to place as a loaded resume for a job?

Hi Psychedelicferarri,
If I understand correctly, you weren't able to locate a file stored in your Acrobat.com account using the search function? If that's the case, you could try using some of the sort options (click the Sort icon in the upper-right corner, that is a series of three horizontal bars). For example, if you sort by filename, you could browse to the "Rs" to find your resume.
I hope you're able to find your file easily, and that your job application goes well!
Best,
Sara

How do i fix the problem of my mac opening ADOBE files if i already have an updated version ADOBE installed?

I need to know how can I successfully send Adobe files to my self from Windows through my emails and trying to open them on my Mac.
The Error message says something about "Cant open because file may have been corrupted or did not successfully send. I already have an updated version of ADOBE reader installed in my applications folder.

Compress them before sending them via e-mail. Select the file->Finder->File->Compress.

Adobe File Window repeatedly opens on boot-up of PC ??!!!?!

Hi, I've checked all the posts and don't see this anywhere
else so here goes.
I like what I see program-wise BUT, how do I stop the Adobe
file window opening each time I boot-up my PC?
This maybe small and insignificant to some but I am beginning
to find it pretty irritating.
I boot up and there it is, after usual system tray load-ups
etc up it pops. The open window displaying the contents of the
Adobe.com files.
I have checked the root and it states, correctly as far as I
can tell, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat.com yep that's where it's
loaded, but why is it popping-up open on my Desktop open each time
I boot-up?
I have checked my preferences and find nothing to invoke
this, I am definitely sure it isn't open on the Desktop when I shut
down so how and why is this happening.
I have never seen this behaviour before with other programs
and can only assume it's something to do with the Beta version, and
an Adobe burning desire to keep reminding me that "I'm here!".
Before I uninstall completely (assuming that will cure this
narcisstic little annoyance), any suggestions would be most
welcome.
Thanks, Rob.

Hi Dean & Pete thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
You may well have identified an install problem when you
asked "did you upgrade to Reader 9 from an earlier version"
Yes I did, one of the reasons I was bothered by this
auto-launching of the Acrobat.com file window is because I had just
completed a total clean install of operating system (XP Pro) onto a
brand new hard drive and I have been very choosy about what I 'OK'
for start programs when loading or reloading all my software.
Adobe Reader version 7 was installed during me loading
Pinnacle Studio 9 Plus.
I was aware there were several upgrades to 7 and went along
to Adobe's site to download the very latest Reader version, this is
where I discovered Acrobat.com Beta
Maybe the problem is part of a leap-frog of several versions
and why that this happens?
Also, thanks to Dean for a workaround, makes sense and worth
doing if I couldn't solve the problem, as I really like the look of
what's developing with Acrobat.com
The great news is I have found a cure without uninstalling
anything.
What I did was go into my startups via System tools/System
information/Software environment/StartUp Programs and there is an
'updateMgr' for Adobe reader version 7 and Adobe Acrobat
Speedlauncher (Type: 'Global')
Due to the Windows system information appearing not to allow
me to change any of the settings, I have use a neat little freeware
program called System Explorer (
http://systemexplorer.mistergroup.org/
This has enabled me to easily disable the two Adobe startups
that seemed to be conflisting and causing the problem, and now
everything seems back to normal, with no Autolaunch of the
Acrobat.com file window and total use of Acrobat.com from my
desktop shortcut.
Hope this helps others!
Regards, Rob.

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email (service provider is MWeb) but now cannot find it on my hard drive and it's not in the recycle bin. It does, however, appear in Firefox downloads but I'm unable to open it from there. How can I recover the file?

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.
