How to compress pdf in photoshop

How do I compress a 28 page pdf in photoshop CS6?

Never, never use Photoshop as a PDF editor unless you know that it is a PDF with raster images at know resolution (including the case where you made it with Photoshop first time around).

  • 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 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.

  • How to save pdf in photoshop cs5 with cropmarks / bleed?

    I have created crop makrs and a 10mm bleed using FILE > PRINT > OUTPUT > PRINTING MARKS / FUNCTIONS
    What is the correct way of saving my file as pdf with the crop marks and bleed?
    Thanks for your help...

    You don't open image files in InDesign, you PLACE them in an existing InDesign document..
    Create a new InDesign doc, FILE- NEW-Document
    Set your Page Size to the same size as your image.
    Make sure you have the size of your bleed entered in the Bleed file. If you don't see Bleeds & Slugs, click More Options.
    You can use inches, Picas & Point, mm etc. this example of p9 equals .125 inch  (1/8 inch)
    In the InDesign doc you should see 3 colored lines:
    Black line = final size of document after trimming.
    Red line = show bleed area outside the document edge
    Magenta line =  margin inside page
    Go to the FILE menu, PLACE and browse to your image and place into the ID doc.
    Use the black arrow to move the edge of the image to the red bleed line.
    Go to FILE menu, EXPORT and choose PDF - Print
    Make sure you have CROP MARKS and USE DOCUMENT BLEED SETTINGS selected.
    Open your PDF in Acrobat to view the image with your crop marks and bleed.
    I'm assuming you are using a high resolution images for printing? 300 PPI (pixel per inch) is a general standard for items that will be viewed close up (no more than arm's length away
    What exactly are you designing? If you are designing items with a lot of text you should be using InDesign.
    Photoshop is mainly for image manipulation, while you can add text in Photoshop it is limited, and unless you know what you are doing may results in substandard products for printing purposes.

  • Unable to open PDFs in Photoshop.cs

    Hi. I was given AdobePhotoshop.cs Version 8 as a gift...able to open PDFs and Import for years. Installed a new printer. Now, both PDFs and Import are grayed out. I can still open PDFs in Adobe Reader 8 and 9 but no longer in Photoshop. Also, able to open jpeg / jpg in Photoshop today. Questions: 1) How to open PDFs in Photoshop? 2) How to convert PDFs to Jpeg if I can't fix PDF. Thanks, Thom    

    Ultimate goal: Open photographs in any format (PDF / JPG, etc.) which can be opened in Adobe Photoshop.cs Version 8 (PS). MAC OS X Version 10.4.11. Edit photos using PS to add text, crop, etc. Resave as PSD in PS. 2006 to present: All PDF created outside PS. Opened pics on web and resaved as PDF. Opened PDF in PS using File Open. Some PDF were split in half and I opened using Import to create a whole pic. I never resaved as JPG. Only as edited PSD. Problem: Printer installation. Import now grayed out. File Open: 1) "Open all readable documents." PDF grayed out unlike before. But I can still open any JPG or PSD in PS. And the PDF can be opened perfectly using Adobe Reader. I just can't use Adobe Reader to change format. Read only. 2) "Open all documents" Now I am able to open PDF because it is not grayed out. But the photo is now a solid gray mass. Failed solution: Reinstall PS a month ago. Problem still there. Another possible solution: Because I opened in PDF and resaved as PSD for years, I was thinking of restoring my previous capability of opening PDF in PS. But a second possibility has occurred to me. Why not download a PDF to JPG converter which works under MAC? If I can't open PDF in PS like I used to, maybe I can convert PDF to JPG. Open the JPG rather than PDF. And resave as PSD. If I can't open PDF, change to a format which I can open. Appreciate thoughts on either solution. Restore open PDF. Or convert to JPG which I can open. If nothing else, I am learning about Rastorization. Which I gather is a conversion of a picture to pixels. And maybe PS rastorizes both PDF and JPG. Which may or may not affect things. Just so long as I can open a photo in PS, edit and resave as PSD, how that is done is less important. I am not a techie. So, I do appreciate your taking the time to help me out.                

  • How to edit a PDF in Photoshop CS4

    Hi there,
    I'm having some real trouble trying to figure out how to edit a PDF in photoshop cs4. So i need to edit/change text, move things around, that type of thing.
    I work in Windows.
    Could someone give me a bit a low down on how this is done?
    Much appreciated,
    Victoria

    You can open them but you will totally rasterize everything.
    PDFs are not intended to be edited. They are a final format but as
    mentioned you can use Acrobat for some minor text edits or use it to
    extract the images to Photoshop for further editing.

  • How to open all the pages of a file PDF in Photoshop?

    Hi,
    How to open all the pages of a file PDF in Photoshop?
    Or
    I need to know the amount of Pages in PDF.

    Thanks

    Have a look at this thread, the last entry has the full code and has everything you need there.
    The answer to knowing how many pages is, you don't need to know!
    You use SL code and no error and no page is opened. Thats the crux of the code.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • When i import my AutoCad PDF into photoshop my lines and text become blurry. How do i fix this

    When i import my AutoCad PDF into photoshop my lines and text become blurry. How do i fix this?
    Is it resizing as I import it  or maybe a printer thing?

    It is rasterizing the PDF at the resolution you tell it to, unless it's an image only PDF - then the image will be opened as-is.
