How to compress PDF files

I have a 72MB PDF file that I want to email. How do I compress this file.

A curious observation confounded me. I was using OS X to create PDF files from the Print dialog box of an application, and I found the file size that OS X was creating to be rather large. I used Adobe Acrobat Pro to reduce the file size by using the product's capability to do so. A rather time consuming task, but necessary since the original file sizes were too large to email.
Completely by accident one day i used Preview within OS X to view a newly created file (4.9 Mb in size), and then "saved" the file to disk. For some reason in doing so, Preview had automatically reduced the file size from 4.9 Mb to less than 200 Kb (coincidentally the same size reduction that Acrobat Pro was doing manually).
I don't know why, but simply opening in Preview and then saving the file was initiating a massive reduction. To this day, I find that the two step proces of creating a PDF, then doing the Preview reduction is necessary to make the files smaller for email.

Hi,
After Converting list to Pdf try the below code.
DATA : GD_BUFFER TYPE STRING.
LOOP AT IT_PDF_OUTPUT.
    TRANSLATE IT_PDF_OUTPUT USING ' ~'.
    CONCATENATE GD_BUFFER IT_PDF_OUTPUT INTO GD_BUFFER.
ENDLOOP.
TRANSLATE GD_BUFFER USING '~ '.
DO.
    IT_MESS_ATT = GD_BUFFER.
    APPEND IT_MESS_ATT.
    SHIFT GD_BUFFER LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
    IF GD_BUFFER IS INITIAL.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
Then mail it. <removed by moderator>

How to compress pdf file size from 16mb to 4mb

Can you please tell me how to compress a PDF email size of 16mb to 4mb?

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

Does anyone know how to compress .pdf files to share?

I put together a 4 page document in Pages but it is almost 1.7 MB - yikes! Anyone know how to get it smaller? It has a lot of photos, which I'm sure are the culprit. If I knew how to make them smaller, I'm sure I'd be on the right track!

In todays world a fle of 1.7 Mega Bytes isn't that big. That's about the same size of a small JPG file from a standard camera.
How do plan on sharing it? Emailing it? you should have no problem emailing a file of that size.
Sorry I don't know of a way to compress a PDF unless you ZIP it.

How to Automate Compressing PDF files in a Watched Directory

I want to automatically compress PDF files as they get placed into a watched directory. I would like the compressed files placed in another directory and have the original file either deleted or place in another directory. If Acrobat Pro X can do this, how do I set it up.

I noticed that Acrobat Distiller will watch an input directory and move files to an output directory. I tried using Distiller to compress a PDF file, but all it did was move the PDF file to the out directory without doing any compression. Is there any way that Distiller could be configured to do what I want?
I also called the number listed on the Adobe web site for LiveCycle products. They told me they don't sell their product to non government companies and they referred me to 4 Point to get further info. I called them and only got a voice mail. I'm waiting for a call back.
I found a product that does exactly what I need. It is called PdfCompressor Professional Edition. But, it costs more than what I want to spend. I'm guessing that LiveCycle will cost more than I want to spend also. If there are any other products that cost less than $150, I would like to know what they are.

How to save pdf file in database

Dear All,
my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

You can't really.
