How to compress a pdf file without quality loss

How to compress a pdf file without quality loss? Please help....

With the way you worded the question, your only option is to zip (or equivalent) the PDF. There are options in terms of graphic compression (this is generally a loss of quality in reducing the pixels) and nonstorage of fonts (likely making the file unreadable to some). So there are techniques, but with a tradeoff. It all depends on what you mean by loss of quality.
The other techniques that do not lose quality, but give up on some functionality are to remove links, bookmarks, and tags. The tags are often necessary only for converting a PDF back to another form and maintaining accessibility - important in some business situations. These are all tradeoffs that give something up.

  • How can I overwrite PDF files without saving in a new location?

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased Acrobat X.
    Everytime I make an edit to a pdf file, I cannot overwrite the old version. I keep getting an error message saying that another user has the document open, and am forced to save with a new name or in a new location.
    Can anyone help me to fix this? I deal with 100s of PDF files in a day and re-saving in a different location or renaming with every change is a real time-consuming hassle.
    Thanks!

    Hi inasravanim and Gilad D (try67)
    Sorry to hikack the thread....but I have the same issue.
    Windows 7, saving to network drive. If I overwrite the pdf on the desktop it does so fine. However, not on the network drive. The user has full control permissions on the network drive. So at a loss as to why this is happening. It only happens with PDF files too (as have tried other file formats with no issues).
    Don't think it is a Acrobat problem - this was happening on Acrobat X and now on Acrobat XI. But again shouldn't be a permissions issue either...??
    Any ideas?

  • How to combine two PDF files without consolidating form fields

    I have two PDF documents with form fields in each. Someone else created the documents. Certain fields were untitled and thus were given names as "undefined" in each document. However, some of those fields contain different information in each document. When i combine the document, these fields mix and incorrect information gets put into certain fields.
    For example, there is a blank field in doc A, titled "undefined." In doc B, there is a field with "johnson" titled "undefined." When I combine them, "johnson" appears in the blank field.
    Is there a way to combine the documents without combined fields?

    Is this the correct window I should see? I hit start and it said it was completed, but nothing seemed to happen.

  • How to compress the PDF file?

    Whenever I use Designer to design my forms, the size is almost always bigger than converting from MS Word and use Acrobat to make the form. Is there a way to compress the form so the size is not too big? If so, what are the steps?

    >I guess I'm a little confuse as to Designer form contains both PDF and Acrobat form.
    Sorry, that was confusing. I meant to say, contains BOTH an XML form,
    and a PDF form. The XML form is what Designer is based on; Designer
    forms are ideal if working in an XML workflow. The PDF form is what
    you see on screen, and what prints. Acrobat has to make both copies
    and keep them in sync with each other.

    The PDF format itself contains significant amounts of compression applied to all PDF file contents. One can compress a PDF file into a ZIP file, but that ZIP file cannot be directly opened by the Adobe Reader.

  • Save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end

    How can I save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end of file name?

    If you have actually made any changes (e.g. adding a Sticky Note or filling out forms), the Save button will appear in the bottom toolbar.  It will save it as the same name.
    "- Copy" is added only when you tap/click the Save As button.  You can change it to something else, if you'd like.

    I have a similar problem: I used to transfer .pdf files between a WinXP laptop and a WM6.1 Samsung Omnia i900, and the converter worked OK. I read the files on the mobile device with Adobe Reader for PPC 2.0 without problems, with correct resizing of the screen . Now I changed my Laptop to a Win7 64bit T410, the files are tranferred with no conversion and the screen reading is messy and very, very somall, with no way to resize it to fit the screen. Can somebody help with advice? Thanks.
