How to reduce file size of pdf documents from 12 mb to 4 mb

You might be asking for the impossible or the easy. Acrobat Pro can reduce the size of PDF files, but nobody can promise any particular PDF can shrink.

How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.
Thanks.

You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
Default: PDF/A 1-b
Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
Check the following check boxes
View Adobe PDf Results,
Add Document Information,
Rely on system fonts only,
Delete Log files for successful jobs.
Select OK
A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
Hope this will help.

How to reduce file size in Acrobat XI?

How can I to reduce the file size is Acrobat XI Pro? Up until v.9, it was just a matter of opening the pulldown menu Documents > Reduce File Size. and then some more. How's that done in the newer versions of Acrobat?
This was simple and easy:

Works like a charm... I have a pdf file of a A1 size drawing that went from 6,7 to 1.7 Mb. The rendered image became slightly grainier (hardly noticable), but the text recognition stayed intact. Magnificent!
FYI I've tested this file size reduction in three different runs:
Save As Other... > Reduced Size PDF... (Acrobat 1.4 comp.) 1,69 Mb
Save As Other... > Reduced Size PDF... (Acrobat 1.6 comp.) 1,75 Mb
Save As Other... > Optimized PDF... 1,73 Mb

How to reduce file size

I have one page file. There is no image, just text. Now the file size is 3MB.
I cannot reduce size anyhow. I have moved the tick from embed fonts at save option tab but file size is same.
How I can reduce file size?
In addition this file is used so many times.

Probably not.
If you don't see the Master Page tab in Designer, then the way in which you imported the existing PD means that the page was brought in as artwork. I don't think you will be able to reduce it now.
One potential option would be to:
Go back to the existing PDF and export the page as an image. You can process the image in Photoshop (or similar) and get the image file size down.
Then start a new form in Designer and on the Master Page drag on an Image object and associate it with the image in step 1.
Save this new form and see is the file size acceptable. If so, proceed.
Now open your existing 3Mb form in Designer and copy all of the objects.
Paste these into your new form.
You may need to move things around a bit.
Hope that helps,
Niall

How to reduce file size when using batch processing?

I use File > Process Multiple Files to batch process photos to a smaller file size along with adding my watermark. I've played with many different settings and no matter what I choose, I can't get my average file size to be less than about 200k. However, when I've exported the same photos using iPhoto, I can get the file size to about half of that with no difference (to my naked eye at least) in quality.
I definitely want to keep the height at 768 pixels so that needs to stay constant.
My current settings in batch processing (average file size = 200 kb)
Resize images with a height constraint of 768 pixels at 150dpi
What I've tried:
Resize at 72dpi (reduced file size by about 5kb)
convert file to JPEG low quality (reduced file size by about 10kb)
convert file to JPEG medium quality (not much difference in file size)
I'm using PSE 10 on a Mac running Lion.
Thank you in advance for your help!

You should go with default settings of Optimizer.
One difference between default settings of Optimizer and Reduce file size is that Optimizer does not guarantee a reduction in file size (if your Optimizer settings lead to an increase in file size, that's what you will get).
With Acrobat 9, the default setting in Optimizer has an additional setting which would not do an image optimization that results in increase of file size. In that sense it would in most cases give a smaller file.

Image Capture - How do I reduce file size of scan document?

I am using image scan. I scan the file (about 7 pages) and it comes to 16.8M. I cannot email it at that file size. How do I get the scan to be less detailed or so to allow me to email it? I tried messing with DPI, etc... that didnt work.
When I went into Finder to compress it to a .zip the file size did not change.
The person on the other end cannot receive files >10M.
Thanks
Nick

I figured it out if anyone needs it in the future. In the details section there are 3 ways to scan. Text, Color or Black and White. Choose text and increase DPI a tad and it made file size 194K.

Cannot reduce file size with PDF X

Hi, have created a 1 page document in pages that has some hi-res digital SLR shots, so 5pics has pushed file size to 21mb. I cannot email this around, so went help hunting and determined that pdfx was the answer to my dreams. It all works in principle, except the vital bit, i.e. after pdfx'ing, my new file, it was still around 21mb......managed to then use GRABIT as a bodge to get the file out the door. Any clues? Mac Help indicates that this should work or am I missing something? The aperture brochure is over 700 pages and full of images and that weighs in at only 20.4mb !!!!!
Hopefully its me missing something obvious, or do I need Adobe writer !!!!

I kinda figured that as an option, but I just want to be able to slot items in and then decompress on mass to minimum file size. The pro tip of the week eludes to opening text edit but I cannot open a pages doc or pdf with text edit. Just looking for the least number of key strokes and things not to have to remember when I am banging a document together. There must be a faster way. It also shows the quartz settings on line, but cannot see this anywhere in Leopard......

How to reduce file size in Illustrator CS4?

Hi!
I'm having troubles with the size of my files in Illustrator CS4, My files always ends with sizes near 100mb!
I made some tests:
Create a new doc (7x5 cm), type some text, save: 1mb
Place an image (PSD file: 12mb), save without embedding: 8mb
Embedd the psd file, save: 16mb
Delete psd image, and place JPG (2,5mb), save without embedding: 8mb
Embedd the JPG, save: 15mb
I0m using the save with compression option.
If I uncheck the compatibility with PDF, then my file goes from 15mb to 8mb, but it's too big anyway, my image is only 2,5mb!
I don't know, I think I'm doing something wrong or illustrator is the most inefficient program that I ever use.
Why if my file without the image is only 1mb, and my JPG only 2,5mb, when I put them together the .AI goes to 15mb???? that's 500% the real size of my files!
Please I need help with this.
THANKS !

Think about it for a minute and you might find the answer yourself? Ok perhaps it has something to do with the fact that a 2.5 mb jpeg, which is a compressed file size, is something like a 15 MB uncompressed file. I know but it is a compressed file but Illustrator has to uncompress it and make it pdf compatible turn off the pdf compatible option and see what happens.
I just tried it myself and sure enough a 4.1 jpeg place in AI makes the file 13.1 MB the uncompressed image is 15.8 MB
without pdf compatible the 4.1 mb file in AI is now a 1.1 MB file.
It makes sense to me perhaps if you think about it it might make sense to you as well.

Captivate 6 - how to reduce file size

We are having problems reducing our Captivate 6 file (around 198 slides) from around 93MB. It needs to be a lot smaller (i.e. 30MB) in order to publish it as SWF file on our company website. Currently we can only publish some of the file.
It does have lots of widgets, photos & (non-linked) powerpoint imports.
I've googled this & read numerous forums & have tried everything - to no avail.
This is what I've tried so far:
1. Compacting the (non-linked) powerpoint imports.
2. Deleting unused library files.
3. Setting quality as 'Low'.
4. Reducing audio setting (there is no audio function anyway).
5. Clearing cache.
6. Cutting & pasting content into new blank file.
7. 'Publish Adobe connect metadata' unchecked (in publish settings).
Any ideas welcome ;o)

You should also look into the size of your images in your content. They may be far larger than they need to be.
Try going to each slide, selecting an image and clicking the option in Properties tab to Reset to Original Size. If you find images are then resizing huge, you need to go back to your source images, open them in a graphics editor (e.g. Photoshop or similar) resize the physical dimensions of the image so that they match the pixel dimensions required for your Captivate slide, create a version of the image at that size, and import THAT image into Captivate for your slide.
If your images are all way huge, then this can significantly bloat the published file size.
Finally, if there are any video files in your project, this will also likely blow the filesize out.

How is possible to save a pdf document from a email to the memory of my Nokia 520?

I installed Adobe Reader to read the pdf documents present in the memory of my Nokia Lumia 520 and those arrive by email.
Particulary important for is to save, the pdf that arrive by email, in the memory of my phone but I didn't understand how it is possible.
Someone can help me?
Thank you
Mauro

Now it's impossible to save PDF files to memory or SD card because Windows Phone 8 simply doesn't allow this action for 3d party apps.
That's why all available readers can't do it.

Letters disappear when reducing file size of PDF.

I have a multi-page PDF file that contains bitmap images and vector text. It was originally created in InDesign and exported to PDF. When I exported the PDF at 300 dpi, everything rendered beautifully. However, when I reduced the image quality through the PDF optimizer (set all images to 80 dpi at high quality), random letters disappered from my text. Weird, since these are vectors and should not be affected by lowered dpi settings anyway.
The gaps are there where the letters should be, and I can even use my text cursor to copy and paste those missing letters into a text file, for example. So basically, all the data is still there, the letters just aren't showing up. This is not resolved by zooming in, and most unfortunately, the letters also do not show up when the document is printed. I have all my fonts embedded. Could this be due to the fact that I am using a lightweight font? (Verlag Extra Light). The letters that go missing seem to be completely at random. I have Acrobat Professional 8.

Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, they all say embedded subset. I will try to replace the fonts just to see what happens, though Verlag is pretty central to the design of this project. I can't see it being a quality issue since it's a high-end font from Hoefler & Frere Jones (not to mention specially purchased for the project!)
I will note that I was able to make some progress by using the Advanced Editing -> Touch Up Text tool to manually retype the missing letters. I did get them to show up that way. Unfortunately this is very time consuming and tends to mess up the text formatting. Still curious what causes this.

How to reduce file size in flash gallery and add description

How can i reduce physical filesize of my photo's within the flash web gallery. When i generate the flash gallery it takes the original filesizes to publisch, some jpg files are verry large, not mentioning my raw files.
How can i reduce the filesize? lets say 600x400 at 96 dpi in stead of 6144x4113 at 300 dpi.
Or do i first have to reduce the filesize in a automated script within photoshop?
Also i want to add the description into the flash document.
How can this be done?
Help is much appreciated...

Use the Image Processor script.
In Bridge it is: Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor ...
The interface is self-explanatory.
Where do you want the description and what do you want?

Reducing file sizes going from LR to PS

Hi - just wondering how to reduce file sizes when I edit from LR4 into PS 5.
I was working on some jpg files and they are around 5mb but when I open them in PS it shows them to be 50mb. ... Just wondering why and how to open them so they are not 10 times bigger?
Thanks
Rob

What Dde said. I'll add that if you have a new camera supported in ACR 7 or 8 that isn't in ACR 6, I think "Open Anyway" will open Photoshop if it's not already open, but then might not do anything after that becaus PS/ACR can't open the raw file. Figured that out after a lot of confusion about why Photoshop just sat there.

How do I reduce file size in Adobe 9.4.5?

Hello,
I'm using Adobe 9.4.5. I can't figure out how to reduce file size. My 'save as' options don't offer this because they only offer 'save a copy' or 'save as text'. And I don't have the 'Document/reduce file size' option. It's simply not there.
I'd appreciate any advice on how to do this.
Many thanks.

You can also try Document>Reduce File Size. The PDF Optimizer has more features, but Reduce File Size my meet your need. I find different results with both methods, making me sometimes wonder which is the best approach.
