  • 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.

    Please do suggest !

    This is my code where I am passing a .tiff file and getting the .pdf file as output.
    Now I want to reduce the output PDF File size.
    public void convertTiff2PDf(String tiff_file)
                   String      pdf_file = tiff_file.substring(0, tiff_file.lastIndexOf(".") + 1) + "pdf";
                   Document document = new Document();
                   try
                        PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document,
                                  new FileOutputStream(pdf_file));
                        int pages = 0;
                        document.open();
                        PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
    RandomAccessFileOrArray ra = null;
    int comps = 0;
    try {
    ra = new RandomAccessFileOrArray(tiff_file);
    comps = TiffImage.getNumberOfPages(ra);
    catch (Throwable e) {
    System.out.println("Exception in " + tiff_file + " " + e.getMessage());
    for (int c = 0; c < comps; ++c) {
    try {
    Image img = TiffImage.getTiffImage(ra, c + 1);
    if (img != null) {
    System.out.println("page " + (c + 1));
    if (img.scaledWidth() > 500 || img.scaledHeight() > 700) {
    img.scaleToFit(800, 850);
    img.setAbsolutePosition(20, 20);
    // document.add(new Paragraph(tiff_file + " - page " + (c + 1)));
    cb.addImage(img);
    document.newPage();
    ++pages;
    catch (Throwable e) {
    System.out.println("Exception " + tiff_file + " page " + (c + 1) + " " + e.getMessage());
                        ra.close();

  • 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.

  • How do i compress a .pdf file

    How Do I Compress A .    pdf File

    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.

  • Help me remember how i compressed this PDF

    Could anyone please help me figure out how I created this PDF file, because I don't remember. What program and compression settings did I use?
    In November I compressed the PDF, and I could have sworn it gave me tons more options than what I currently see in Optimize PDF on Acrobat 10. Now I only see JPEG2000, JPEG, and ZIP.
    What I remember seeing when I compressed the PDF was a lot more compression options, JBIG2, LZW, FLATE, DEFLATE, JPEG2000, JPG, ZIP and more spefic settings to apply to the compression.
    I don't have any previous versions of Acrobat installed, or any other type of third party PDF utility. The options I saw were in something that looked like Adobe Distiller, but that couldn't have been it because it looks like Distiller only takes postscript, and I never did make a postscript out of this PDF. And the adiditional compression options I saw  aren't anywhere in Distiller.
    The original uncompressed PDF says "produced in Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1 Image Conversion Plug-in" (Link to DL PDF)
    The compressed PDF that I don't remember how I created says "produced in PDFScanLib v1.2.2 in Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1" (Link to DL PDF)
    An easier question to ask, and better answer for me would be, how do you create a PDF in a way that it says produced in "produced in PDFScanLib v1.2.2 in Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1"? As I already know how to create the PDF so it says "produced in Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1 Image Conversion Plug-in".
    I would really appreciate anyones input and help.

    Those were among the first I tried already. They didn't do what I needed. There's still tons of unwanted pixels around the dancer. So after trying every filter I could think have anything to do with what I need + Googling, I gave up and came here.
    Thanks anyway.
    Maybe I'm using it wrong? Don't think so though.

  • Compress Smartform PDF file before sending mail

    Hi Experts,
    I need to compress PO smartform.Smartform already converted into PDF file.Vendor received this file as an attachement in their mail box.Vendor complains that file size is too large.They want to compress that PDF file before sending mail.
    Anybody can suggest how to compress a smartform which is already converted into PDF.

    Hi Michael/Satyajit,
    First of all thanks for the suggestions.
    Actually I am working for a application maintenance project and after go-live user is complaining that previously the PO form size was 57 KB and after this implementation the form size is 618KB that is not acceptable.
    I checked with the legacy system and found that the previous form was developed using SAPScript,converted to PDF and then used to send as an attachement to user mail box.
    The new development environment using Smartform for PO form and then it is converted to PDF and send as an attachement to user mail box.I checked with the Logo and the logo size is only of 9KB.No other graphics used in the form.The developer had used 3-4 boxes in the form and page format is landscape. Style is used in the form and the used font is courier,font size is 10 pt .
    Will change in style's font and font size reduces the size upto that level??

  • How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

    How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

    I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
    Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
    pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

  • How to show a pdf file in bi publisher report

    Hi All,
    We need to show a pdf file as report which was saved in a given location. How to call that pdf file as report. We need to give a hyperlink in the report and when we click on the report the pdf file should be displayed.
    When we open a report, there will be just hyperlinks to call serveral reports. When we click on each link , one should call a pdf saved in a particular location.
    Thanks.

    In Word, if you have set the borders on then you should see them in the output. In Word it has a setting to let you see 'gridlines' even if they are not set ie you have turned the borders off. Highlight the table and set all the borders on and re-try. If that fails, try building the table from scratch and copy the cell contents across to the new table

  • How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

    How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
    I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document.  When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
    It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
    The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
    Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
    This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

    hi there
    try the vi
    ..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
    it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)
