How do I reduce the size of a Keynote file beyond the reduction of zip?

Kindly advise.

How do I reduce the size of a Keynote file beyond the reduction of zip?
Why do you need it smaller, what size is the file, what's in the file that you think is making it large.
If your trying to reduce file size to send by e-mail, use a file transfer service instead: Dropbox.

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 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.

How can I reduce the size of a gif file?

Hello, I'm trying to save a 88 layer image as .gif file. there are two questions I have:
1. I'm trying to resize the image but when I try to save it as .gif the colors are just messed up and greyish. how can I resize it without messing up the pixel colors?
2. What's the best way to reduce the file size? Is it the dimension of the image? is it the number of colors used in it? or there is another options that i need to manipulate to get a better result?
thanks in advance.

The thing is, my friend is using imageready and he says his files have about 150 layers but only 2-3MB
You need to understand how GIF compression works. It doesn't matter whether you have 1 or 500 layers, 20 or 500 frames of animation. Hell, even the image dimensions do not necessarily matter. The only determining factor for file size is how many colors are spread across the size of the image or the frames, respectively, and those, as the others said can never be more than 256. after that, it is down to how many contiguous areas there are in the image and how large they are - large solid areas are better to compress than many small areas as the overhead increases. I suggest you give these things some consideration first before blindly pushing buttons, which - no offense - is what you seem to be doing right now. You are guessing what might look good, but don't understand how to control it to make it better.

How can i reduce the size of my psd file?

I have made a standee of 6'x3' using photoshop. And somehow the size has exceeded 1GB. I have substituted the vectors i had used and the high resolution images with equal sized pngs images (hope that will not create problems?) but the size is still 199MB. the other standees i made using corel draw are a mere 892KBs give or take. What else can i do to reduce my file size in this case??

As Noel and JJMack already said - you are possibly overdoing. You should read up on "resolution" vs. "dimensions" - from a distance, nobody can see those 300 DPI. Common resolution for such stuff is much smaller. As to your otehr matter - I would think Corel Draw is embedding a JPEG natively without modifying its data, hence no change in file size. That's just not how it works in PS, but again Noel is right - 1 GB is not that uncommon and even one of our 5 year old machines with WinXP 32bit and just 2GB RAM can still handle it. It's just not particularly fast... Anyway, many times files will get considerably smaller if you do not use the maximum compatibility setting. That way no composite previews, rasterized extra channel data and a bunch of otehr things won't be embedded in teh file. However, these files can only be used in PS itself, so if your job requires to hand them off to someoen who is using CorelDraw or anotehr program, this would not be of any use to you...

How do I reduce the size of photos to use on website?

Thanks to the helpful person who recommended I use Rapidweaver to build a website, I am slowly getting somewhere. It is so simple and just like Apple applications that I think I can do this.
My problem now is that when I tried to transfer a photo from iPhoto to the draft website page it comes across so large it fills the page.
How do I reduce the size of photos so that I can bring them across? I need to show about 20 photos on the web pages. Do they need to be in a different format and if so how do I change it to the appropriate one?
Many thanks.

Hi Casuarina,
Go to this site and click on the Desktop Version Quicktime movie for a small tutorial. It will explain everything to you and you can see how you resize right within Rapid Weaver. It's really quite nifty.

How do I reduce the size of a graphic in Preview and maintain resolution?

Preview 6.0.1
Hi,
I have a graphic in Preview. The largest file is a .jpg at 77 KB. Information about the graphic is in the attached "Adjust Size ScreenPreview Galleon 77.
I find that when I reduce the size of the file using Previews menu bar functions that I usually use — Screenshot>Zoom reduce>Select the smaller picture>Screenshot — that the result is an image that has lost the focus, the resolution of the original graphic.
How do I reduce the size of a graphic and maintain resolution? I've never used the Adjust Size Screen functions.
I'm not stuck on having to use Preview to accomplish this, but I do use Preview a lot.
Thanks,

Choose a smaller width, the height will adjust appropriately, and the resolution will stay the same.

How do I reduce the size of an AI CS6 file when saving as a pdf?

I'm trying to save an ai file to a PDF to send to the printer but the file is huge. How can I reduce the size without losing quality? I have already rasterized my images and flattened the artwork. Thanks!

How huge is huge? Are all of the images Placed at 100% or have they been scaled? What are the printer's requirements? What are the physical dimensions of the file? And, how are you creating the PDF? There are a few ways to minimize size, starting with the file itself and the printer's requirements. I find, sometimes, Exporting > TIFF > Open in Ps > Save As Photoshop PDF is helpful. I also use Distiller which trims files nicely and is customizable.

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto.

What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.

How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto? The size of my imported photos from my camera are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB. Scanned copies of older photographs with a size of 100 to 500 KB work very well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

File -> Export and make your choices in the Export dialogue.
Jpeg Quality and Size will have most effect on file size. Note that 'Size' refers to the pixel dimensions of the photo.

Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.
