I am using acrobat 9 pro. Using the optimise pdf. File size increases?

I am trying to clean up some previously scanned images containing mainly text. The original file sizes are 80K. I use the optimise pdf tool to 'despeckle' with all the other option set to off. When I save and then check the new file size it has increased threefold. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

This is the Adobe Contribute forum. Acrobat forums are at http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat.
That being said, have you done a "save as" on the files?

  • How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
    "Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.

    Something that works  (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
    Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
    That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
    Be well...

  • Keeping Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as the Default .PDF viewer

    Ok,
    So with all the new vulnerabilities with Adobe reader, our company is try to stay with the current updates of Adobe Reader.  The problem I am running into with patching all the workstations is that we have a large user community that uses Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as their default .pdf viewer etc. When patching all workstations with the latest Adobe Reader it changes the default to Reader.
    Has anyone had this issues? Or is there away to keep Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro the default when upgrading the Reader?
    I'm thinking of removing Reader all together on the workstations that have Pro.
    Thanks

    That is the Adobe recommended and supported setup.

  • Acrobat X Pro - Word 2010 to pdf files

    I just bought AcrobatX to create high quality pdf files from Word2010 files in WIndows 7.
    Unfortunately when I do create them from inside Word using the Acrobat tab, the program crashes!
    However, if I print the same files using  the  Adobe printer, the pdf files are generated. I do not know, however, if the output quality is the same (I select the "press quality" job option).
    Could anyone please clarify this issue? I did buy this software just to obtain pdf files with the highest quality possible (press quality) but it seems it is not what I got.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks again! I have just done what you suggested - no way! Even with everything off, it crahes!
    I will follow your advise  of printing using the Acrobat printer. Yet I face now a new problem!! Some of the figures doesnot show up at all!
    >>>you could post it here for us to take a look
    Please download an example of a Word (2010) file that crashes from here:
    https://www.yousendit.com/download/cEd0ckhhV3JCSnBFQlE9PQ
    In the zip it is also a pdf created by using the Adobe printer. Please take a look at Fig-4-2. It is of bad quality! Any suggestions to improve it? I got just a few (out o a few hundreds)  that bad!.
    I insert figures (made by CorelDraw and exported as WMF) in Word as Insert, Pictures.
    MANY THANKS for you valuable help
    Best

  • Acrobat X Pro shows "The document could not be printed" error

    I used Acrobat X Pro to open an PDF file and then re-print it to another PDF by Adobe PDF printer. It shown a dialog with "The document could not be printed" message.
    Why do some PDF files occur this error ? How to fix this problem ? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for reporting the problem.
    It seems you are unable to print any pdf from Acrobat. You mentioned that you are able to print the same PDFs from iphone and other devices.
    Are you able to print from any other application(e.g. word, notepad) from the same machine where you are seeing the issue. It looks to me that your machine is not able to establish contact with the printer but your other devices are able to.
    Please confirm.
    Thanks,

  • Maximum pdf file size (Acrobat 9 Pro)

    Hi,
    Is there a maximum size for pdf's? At work we are trying to save some very large pdf's (between 3 and 4 gig). The reason we are saving them as one file is because the person who wants them had problems navigating between the different pdf's when using the original bookmarked pdf's.
    I have managed to save a 1.5 gig pdf, but any higher and I get an error
    "the file is too big for this operation".
    Windows XP Pro, Acrobat 9 Pro, 2 gig RAM.

    PDF files don't have one resolution, but may have none or many different resolutions, one per image. You can check the maximum/minimum resoluion with preflight in Acrobat Pro, but not in Adobe Reader.

    Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

    And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
    What devices are they using?
    What program or apps with versions are they using?
    I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
    Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

  • Adobe Acrobat  X1 Pro- cannot edit a PDF we created. It says to use Live Cycle, Does this Adobe subscirption not include Live Cycle? The earlier version of Adobe did.

  • I am trying to delete a page from a pdf using Acrobat X Pro but the delete option is greyed out. Why

    I am trying to delete a page from a pdf using Acrobat X Pro but the delete option is greyed out.  Does anyone know why?

    Post your question in the forum for Adobe Acrobat.

  • Acrobat X Pro hangs when making PDF. Using on Windows 7 64. Just started hanging. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Installed update. Once it hangs, must go into crtl, alt, delete to force close.

    As a debugging step, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that fails, repeat with print-to-file selected. Assuming the print succeeds, open the file in Distiller to complete the creation of the PDF. If you get the PDF, then check to see if AcroTray is properly working as a background task.

  • I can not print an PDF using the Adobe PDF-Printer with Acrobat DC

    Hi all,
    i installed the Trial of Acrobat DC but it dont let me use the Adobe PDF-Printer well, because i cannot print from any third-party-application using Adobe PDF.
    I tryed to print from within Word, Editor and Browser and selected the Adobe PDF-Printer as target, but at 75% both, the Application from which i print and the PDF-Creating-Wizzard are freezing (for hours) and i need to kill the procesed. No PDF-File is created. Same Problem with trying to print a Testfile from within the Windows-Printer-Dialogs.
    Only Adobe DC cause this issue, if i use freeware like Bullzip PDF the files get created successfully, so i assume its not a generally problem with PDF on my system.
    What could be the problem? (pls dont say its because of the trial, a trail should allow to test all features and Why should i buy a programm if it cannot do what a freeware can do?)

    Hey Daniel,
    Have you tried repair Adobe Acrobat DC?
    If no, then please repair the installation under Help menu.
    This could also happen due to an Adobe Acrobat DC installation file corruption. To resolve this issue :-
    Uninstall Adobe Acrobat DC using the Acrobat cleaner utility.
    Restart your computer.
    Re-install Acrobat Acrobat DC  Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC.
    Let me know if the issue persist.
    Regards,

  • Unable to open .pdf in Firefox 3.6.8 with Adobe Reader 9.3.3 installed. Error message is "The Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser."

    I am unable to open a PDF file in Firefox 3.6.8. Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 is installed. I get the error message "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser."

    You can get that error if there is still an old Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

  • The acrobat reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a browser

    The subject says it all. I'm unable to open a link to a pdf file.
    I'm using Mozilla on a Win 2000 machine.
    Version 8.1.2 worked fine. I see some people have reverted back to this version. Is that the only fix?

    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
    Here's the simple solution:
    1. Open Adobe 9
    2. Select Help on main Toolbar
    3. Select "Repair Adobe Reader Installation"
    Yes, but make sure that all previous versions of Acrobat and Reader have been removed from your computer.
    I had on Vista Acrobat Reader 5 and 9 because sometimes was problem with printouts in duplex on Acrobat Reader version 7,8 and 9.
    You can have more then one version of adobe reader on your computer.
    I had to uninstall this Acrobat Reader 5 and select Repair Adobe Reader Installation on Adobe Reader 9.3.3 version.
    Success.

    You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.

    You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
    You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
    If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.
