How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

@nalinss
There are two ways: "Save as.." usually optimises size, but there is also "Optimize PDF" in the menu with many options what to exclude and to reduce in quality. Be careful here, as pictures can become very bad.
A note: the size of a PDF vastly depends on from what source it is created. For example, if you draw some vector graphics in Visio and print to Adobe Printer, the resulting PDF is usually quite small in file size. Opening it in Illustrator and saving it again after you, let's say, just moved one line, can make it 10x as big. This is due to big overhead, Illustrator creates and this can not be reduced anymore in Acrobat later on. Sometimes it helps to convert or "save as" such an inflated PDF to a different format like EPS or HTML and print or convert again to PDF.
So, if you created the PDF yourself and you still have the source, you may adjust settings in the export/print dialog to make it smaller.

  • How to make Smaller Pdf Files?

    Hello. Previously I had asked a question on how to fit multiple pages into ONE pdf file. My questions was answered by advising me to download a program from Monkeybread Software, which I did, and which worked fine.
    I now have a new problem. I have about 25 letters that I want to put in ONE pdf file, however each page is about 2.5mb after being scanned, therefore 3 pages when merged into One pdf file totals almost 10mb which is too large for sending on most servers.
    The question then: Is there anyway these files can be made smaller so that all 25 pages could be put into the one pdf file and the size of that file be kept at a maximum of about 7mb?
    (For info, the way I am making the files, is to scan one page and send it to my printer which has a 'Save to pdf' file on it. I then save that to the desktop and then drag each pdf into the Monkeybread program in order to merge them into one pdf) Hope this makes sense and that someone may have an answer for me. Thanks.

    Some scanner software has a setting for "line art" that sees only black and white--no grays. I find that works best for scanning typed letter and the like. Makes very small files even at 300 dpi, which is as fine as you need for text.
    The choice of resolution depends on how you intend to use the resulting pdf. For on-screen viewing, 150 or even 72 dpi is acceptable (except for those with vision challenges), but will not print very well. If you intend that the file be sent to others who will print it out for reading, then a line art setting (if available) at 300 dpi will result in decent print output without making a gargantuan file.
    In the long run, having a scanner capable of optical character recognition (OCR) may work best because you can then paste the resulting files as plain text into one word processing document. A text-only WP file of 25 pages is doable for most mail servers. Remember: when using OCR, check the final document for scan errors. Example: the letter "i" may get picked up as a capital "I", the number 1, or an exclamation point ( ! ). Usually such errors are minimal and are often flagged by the WP program's spell checker.

  • How to email a pdf file (attachment with password) using ABAP?

    Hi Colleagues,
    I
    n abap, how do you email a pdf file that contains password?
    (pdf with password, not the whole email).
    A custom program is created. Inside this program, it
    retrieves the spool number and converts it to a pdf file
    (using function module '....abapspool...'). No parameter to put password.
    I was able to do the above. The problem is how to put password on
    the pdf file.
    Once the user receives the email (say from hotmail or outlook) with pdf attachment, clicks on the pdf, it will as ask for an attachment.
    sap version 4.7.
    Questions:
    - how to code in ABAP to include the pdf with password in an email
    received from hotmail or outlook?
    - any function modules or classes that can do the pdf password?
    - do we need to install another technology or add-on application or
    ???? to do it? If yes, do we code in abap?
    - any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to make 2 Node File Cluster with SAS Disks

    Hello,
    I cant fine any detailed, specific information and answer on this question
    I have 2 Servers, Say HP, with 4 SAS disks each,  1 for OS (2012R2Data) and 3 available.
    I want to create fault tolerant SMB 3.0 share for my Hyper-v nodes, to make hyper-v FT cluster afterwards.
    So, I see inr equirements that SAS disks will work, but during creating cluster, I can not manage Cluster to see disks from both servers (total 6 free units)
    If it is made via ISCSi target, both servers have access to that targets and cluster sees all available through iSCSI disks, but how to mnake SAS disk available to other server?
    Is it possible what I need with this configuration?  is it a option to make each server iSCSI target and initiator? (but it would be way complicated and slow, I think).
    so, what I have misunderstood, how to make FT file Cluster with 2 servers with SAS drives?
    Any info about this SPECIFIC config would be welcomed, or any general step-by-step guides  (please, do not link me guides with other config, like iscsi or with additional servers, I have seen a lot of them :()
    thanks

    You cannot do what you want with a Microsoft built-in tools. MSFT require you to take your SAS disks away from your servers, buy a SAS JBOD (better more then one to get advantage of a so-called "enclosure awareness" and avoid single point of failure) and
    configure Clustered Storage Spaces with now *external* SAS drives. See:
    How to Configure a Clustered Storage Space in Windows Server 2012
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/2012/06/02/10314262.aspx
    Prerequisites
             A minimum of three physical drives, with at least 4 gigabytes (GB) capacity each, are required to create a storage
    pool in a Failover Cluster.
             The clustered storage pool MUST be comprised
    of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connected physical disks. Layering any form of storage subsystem, whether an internal RAID card or an external RAID box, regardless of being directly connected or connected via a storage fabric, is not supported.
    Windows Server 2012 R2 had flexed out some limitations so now ReFS is supported (but useless as VMs cannot be integrity checked and protected) and now you can use parirty spaces (also useless as they are DOG slow with a typical VM workload dominated by small
    writes, say 4KB write initiates 256KB+ parity stripe read-modify-write update). Core requirements "SAS everywhere" is still there.
    So if you don't want to mess with SAS JBODs you may give a try to a virtual SAN solutions available on the market. They can cluster a pair of hosts (even with a single port SATA drives) w/o any external hardware, only Ethernet required. There are even free
    options available. See:
    Free Virtual SAN
    http://www.starwindsoftware.com/native-san-for-hyper-v-free-edition
    Also Google (or Bing?) for DataCore and SteelEye as they have very similar native (Windows-based) offerings. + there's bunch of a VM-running storage doing more or less the same.
    Hope this helped a bit :)
    StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

  • How to make a jar file downloadable with IE

    hello,
    I just bought a website:
    http://www.frozenfountain.net/
    and I put a jar file on it called Logo.jar
    Using Mozilla, the jar file downloads as expected, but with Internet Explorer, it tries to download it as .zip file.
    How do I get it to download as a .jar file with IE?
    thanks

    Just post a link to the Jar. Mozilla will download
    it as a jar. Windows will download it as a zip.
    Only one link. No problem, really. ;-)There is a problem. People who arent as good with computers as you are won't know how to run the jar file after downloading with IE.
    At school, I told someone to download the file, which they did with IE. It downloaded to desktop as a zip. They extracted and were left with a bunch of .class files.

  • How to name a pdf file automatically with the current file name

    We constantly pick up old ID files, save as, revise and rename. The problem is that when I pdf ID remenbers the original file name not the new one. Is there a way for it to select the new name without retyping it.

    ID will change the PDF name with the name change of the file until you change the PDF name manually. At that point you're stuck with it.
    To clear it out, export to IDML, open and save with the appropriate name and NEVER change the PDF name again. If you do, don't save the InDesign file afterward.

  • How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • 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.

  • How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images

    I am new to Indesign Server.
    I'm currently working on a pdf.
    I have a white blank pdf template.
    that I want to attach/glue it with images.
    How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images.
    Please, help me.
    Thanks.

    First step would be to make yourself familiar with InDesign desktop version.
    Whatever you intend to achieve, do it there manually. (see regular app docs or forums)
    Then try to automate your steps with scripting (see scripting docs or forum)
    If you can do it with a script in the desktop version, that script will likely also run in ID Server. (see server forum).
    If you can specify missing features not achievable thru scripting or manual use, reconsider to write a plugin (this forum).
    A seasoned C++ programmer will need a few months to learn the basics, wade thru tons of documentation etc. Alternatively consider to hire a consultant to do the development work for you.

  • Use acrobat 8 in a shellscript and make a pdf file OCR recognize text with selected language

    Hello everybody !
    I have a little problem and I don't know how to overcome this...
    I want to use a shellscript and call acrobat.exe and open a pdf file (up till now I've done this..), but the difficult part is that I want in this shellscript to use  parameters/switches in order to make the pdf file OCR text recognized and use selected language e.g greek !!!!
    How can i do that?
    What is the command prompt parameters...?
    In command line when i use
    c:\> cd C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat> acrobat.exe <pdffile>
    it opens the pdf file in the acrobat....
    So what switches do I have to insert next?
    Thanks a lot in advance !!!!

    Microsoft has released a hot fix that supposedly addresses this issue, it is at
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977468
    I downloaded the fix and tried it; it actually made the problem worse!  Apparently they
    are trying to fix their filter rather than bypassing it.  What I am doing is
    1.  Making maps in AutoCaD Map and printing (plotting in autocad) them to a pdf file
    2.  Opening the pdf file in Acrobat and resaving it as eps
    3.  Importing the eps file into a Word 2007 document
    4.  Use Acrobat to convert the Word document to pdf
    Before the hot fix when I did the process the resolution of the map in the final
    pdf file was not as good as in the original made from AutoCad.  Also the colors were
    not correct.  After installing the hotfix there are still these same problems but also now
    any non horizontal text is not displaying correctly.
    Be careful about trying this hotfix.
    As others have noted, back in Word 2003 the above steps 1 - 4 worked very well and resulted
    in a high quality pdf file with the map as good as in the original pdf.
