You have two options:http://www.screencast.com/t/p3srGDGP
In this screen shot I have two method chosen.
the one highlighted in yellow is more effective, except in the case where the pdf was from a Scan which is graphics only.
select the one in yellow first and click on Fonts. Remove all duplicates. for some reason, I don't know if its defect in Acrobat, but usually multiple copies of the exact Font will show up and some cases there will font families not even used in your document. remove all duplicates.
Note: Duplicates do not mean for example: Helvetica, Helevetica Bold, Helvetica Bold Italic (these are three different fonts).
You can reduce the quality of the graphics used and so on while in menu.
The feature highlighted in green more or less just reduce the general qaulity of the PDF. and may work for some PDF's

Pdf file is too big (7MB). Need a pdf file with max size 4MB. How to minimize the size of a pdf file?

The other alternative is the Save As Other>Reduce File Size. The PDF Optimizer gives you more control. You might also use the audit feature in the PDF Optimizer to see where the size problem is coming from. You might find that in the WORD file you can select and image and then go to the FORMAT (pictures) menu and select compress for all of the bitmaps in the file. That will typically use 150 dpi by default that is adequate for most needs.

I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries)

I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries) & is up to 1.36 GB in size. I have tried reducing file size in preview but the images are unreadable. Any ideas?

WHen I want to reduce the file size, I either use "Optimize Scanned PDF", or more often use "Reduce File Size". Both are on the Document menu. The Reduce File Size selection has some limited customization that is used, when selected.

How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
Best luck.

How to reduce the size of a PDF file from a 10.26 MB to a 2.0 MB?

I have save my file using Adobe and converted it to a PDF file size 10.26MB but the file is too large....how do I reduce the size of the file to upload to a website?. It needs to be PDF size 2.0 MB

The free Reader can do nothing to shrink the files. Acrobat can reduce them somewhat but I think that not to the extent that you want, although it can also separate them in smaller files. Depending on the specific files, it may be better to reduce them in the originals from which the PDFs were made; for example, by lowering the resolution of images.

How do I reduce the size of a PDF file for emailing?

I have scanned a document on my Canon Printer. The size is very large about 14 Megabytes. I do not know how to reduce the size so that I can send it via Mail. I have searched HELP but have not as yet found an answer. One suggestion was that in my Mail window there is an option to reduce the size of the attachment but I see no such option in my email.

Another option for sending large files is to use :
http://www.filedropper.com/
You upload the files to the website and it creates
a URL that you can copy and paste into an email
which you send to the recipient and they use the
generated link to get the file.

Is there a way to reduce the size of my PDF file, created (or I should say, Exported) in InDesign.

I created a 10-page sale flyer in InDesign CS5 which will be viewed on our website. When I export it as a PDF file, even with the compression at "minimum", the size is still 3.8 MB.
Is there a way to reduce the size of the PDF file? with InDesign or another tool out there?
Thanks for your help!

To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

How can reduce the size of my pdf file?

Hi There,
I need to reduced a scanned pdf document which is 23MB in to a smaller size so it's acceptable for email.

Acrobat can reduce PDF file sizes. However, by how much depends largely on its content.
On the other hand, sending e-documents as email attachments is never a good idea - they can get damaged, misdirected, lost, and there is always the file size limit.
Much better is to use a file sharing service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, ...) - upload and share the document, then send the download link by email.

Why is the size of my pdf file so large

In the templet,I use a font type "Simsun" for Chinese in the subform.
This font type is added in the output desginer by "font setup" .
And this font has been existing in my os.
When I generate a pdf file, the size reaches >6M.

Even if you specify Helvetica, Acrobat and Reader substitute a private version of Arial anyway, so all you're doing by specifying Arial is needlessly adding space. The problem is you can't go back and the fields to use Helvetica and see the file size reduction you might expect. This is due to what I consider to be a bug that I'm hoping will get fixed. So you have to start with a fresh PDF, but you can copy the old fields to the new if you first change them to Helvetica. Or if you know how to hack the PDF you can salvage it after changing the fields to Helvetica.
I was JUST about to type this. I went into my revised pdf and changed the form text boxes to Helvetica and it didnt change the file size. However I re-created the file from scratch and it is now keeping the file size at the original size. Thanks to both of you for the help!

Oh, it's certainly possible, I just don't recommend you do it.
If you really want to do it, go to Tools - Pages - Split Document and proceed from there.

How to reduce view size in the info page after clicking the apps?

The apps icon was missing from category and top chart for a few days. The icon came back after turning off and on the iPad 2. However the font size and images in the info page was corrupted. It is much larger than before and I could not reduce them.
Please help where can I change the settings to reinstate the original font size.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Did you try to set java min and max to different sizes?
Then you still need a full GC to reduce the heap
because only the full GC compacts memory.
For IBM JRE you will need this to compact anyway.
In general applications perform better with heapmin=max.
-Xmx<size> set maximum Java heap size. example: -Xmx64m
-Xmn<size> set new generation Java heap size. example: -Xmn64m
Different size make it compacter but are more expensive(time)
Do you run Full GC as system.gc()?
I would never do this.
Let the JRE take care of this.
Number 1 GC rule is avoid it.

Once combine file, it is too large to email. Is there a way to reduce the size of the file?

Combined files and now it is too large to send. Is there a way to reduce the size of the converted file in Adobe?

Hi yodonna,
Adobe Reader doesn't allow you to reduce the size of a PDF file, as Acrobat does. But, you could upload that file to your Acrobat.com account, and create an anonymous link to it using Adobe Send. Then, you could send that link via email. You can access Adobe Send at https://cloud.acrobat.com/send. The Create an Anonymous Link feature doesn't require that you have an Adobe Send subscription.
Best,
Sara

How do i reduce the size of the pdf's scanned from my printer

i scan from my printer to a pdf. the file comes across way to big (2mb for 4 pages with no pictures & just text, etc.) i have already re-set the settings on my scanner / printer to try to get the smallest dpi & image possible. how do i get to the settings on my adobe acrobat to reduce the size of the pdf when saved on my computer or is this not the right place to do that?

You may need to reset that to use higher scan quality for successful OCR.

Not do-able with Reader. Acrobat Pro can reduce PDF file size, but... if it's text only (no media or images) it won't reduce any more than it already is.
