Image covert to PDF then file size become much bigger. [iOS]

When I use picture covert to PDF then converted PDF file size become much bigger. Original picture file size is 2MB but PDF file size become 5.2MB. I'm using iPhone6.
however when I using desktop acrobat to covert the same image then PDF file sizw almost the same as original image file size.

Hi Brian,
I have created a bug report for this issue. We will try to address the issue in a future release of Acrobat DC for iOS.
In the meantime, would you use the web interface to convert your photos to PDFs?
Open Safari on your iPhone.
Go to https://cloud.acrobat.com
Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Select the Create PDF tab.
Tap "Select Files to Convert to PDF".
Tap "Choose Files from My Computer".
Select the photo(s) that you want to covert.
Tap Done.
The converted PDF document(s) will be stored in the Document Cloud.
Please see the following document to switch the file location to Document Cloud in Acrobat DC for iOS.
How to manage files in Acrobat DC for iOS
Sorry for the inconvenience. Hope that the Create PDF option via the web interface is a feasible workaround for you.

PDF reduce file size filters and CMYK to RGB conversion

This doesn't seem to be on-topic to this forum, but I'm hoping someone here has the expertise to answer my question. We have some scripts which take a series of press-quality pdfs and use the "reduce file size" filter to prepare them for viewing on the web. We run these scripts on a 10.4 machine, and the filter works very well, reliably reducing file sizes of all sorts of pages.
When we tried to upgrade the machine, we discovered that the quartz filtering has changed in 10.5 and 10.6. While it's usually an improvement, getting maybe 5-10% better compression ratios, it has become unreliable in that about 5% of my files fail spectacularly -- they blow up to 3, 4, 5, 6 times the original size.
The other thing that happens is that the 10.5/10.6 filters munge the colors up. I found the solution to this -- in the ColorSynchUtility, make a duplicate of the Reduce File Size filter, and add a Color Management Component called Convert To Profile. This allows me to set a filter that converts the CMYK content to RGB. The problem is that there are about 40 choices of profiles, and it's not at all clear what I should use. Many of them have printer manufacturer's names in them, some say "Adobe", others have cryptic codes (probably referring to various RFCs and schemes). I've tried a couple of the ones that don't look like they are for printers, basically chosen at random. They all produce files of slightly different sizes for the reductions that go well, but on the files that blow up, some filters are better than others. (For example, I have a 5MB page which reduces to 1.4MB with the 10.4 filter, but blows up to 27MB with the "sRGB IE61966-2.1" profile, but only 12MB with the "Adobe RGB" profile.)
So I have 2 questions:
1) Is there any way to configure a 10.5/10.6 custom profile so that it behaves as reliably as the 10.4 "stock" PDF Reduce File Size works? It doesn't have to be the most wonderful compression algorithm out there, just so that it never or rarely has a file blow up in size.
2) For converting press documents to pdfs that are going to go on the web, what is a good "Convert to profile" to use of the 40-some choices on the pull-down menu?

Cathy,
You have posted your question in a forum dedicated to the Final Cut Studio application Color. It is a very specialized program to grade (adjust) the color in video/film images. We know nothing regarding PDFs.

I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

Hi Bill,
It sounds like your document has a lot of pages and/or images in it.
Instead of using the normal InDesign > Export command to create a PDF, you may be able to reduce the file size by printing to a PostScript file, then distilling it to PDF using Acrobat Distiller.

When converting a .pptx file of 6MB to .pdf, the file size ballooned to 25MB. The original file was created on a PC. What happened? Why? How to fix? Thx.

Nothing much. Different formats.

Try editing the original file. Resample pics to a lower resolution, check out other graphics, check table borders (eliminate any dotted lines or borders), check font usage. When generating PDF, try Save As (instead of Print > Save As), although I don't expect that'll make much difference.
Next, open the PDF in Preview, choose File > Save As, choose Format: PDF, Quartz Filterz: Reduce File Size. If that isn't enough, you can use ColorSync Utility to duplicate the Reduce File Size filter, and then edit it for a more aggressive size reduction. But keep in mind that size reduction means lower quality.

Export to PDF (smallest file size) is giving me a very large file

Hi all,
I got 2 document with around 100 pages (same size), with a picture or two in each page.
I've been using the Export to PDF (smallest file size) and export it.
first file became 5MB, which is fine
second file became 30MB, this is much too much.
I have used the exact same setting for both files and have no idea why the big difference between them.
The only difference between them is that first file contains CMYK photos, and second one - RGB.
Can this be the difference?
Any suggestions?
thanks,
shlomit

That's certainly part of the difference. Additional font information if one of the documents uses more fonts or additional glyphs could be some of it, too. Swatches and styles might also be a factor. Vectors don't compress like bitmaps, either.
Have you opened the optimizer and done a space usage audit to see what is taking up all the space? Did you do a Save AS before export?

I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages)

I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages).
I know the colour graphic shading in the document that causes the issue of larger file size, but it doesn't make sense that printing 1 additional page with same information as first 2 pages would cause this.

Are the image all the same size the % files open into a document seems to vary with the number of pixels the image being opened has. Check the Image size.

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?

That being said, have you done a "save as" on the files?

One page displays as negative image when saving PDF to reduced size in Preview

Imac Intel Mid 2007
OS X 10.5.8
Preview v4.2
I have a multi-page PDF I'm trying to save to a reduced size.
The document was constructed of separate pages, some of which were created as Photoshop PDFs in Photoshop CS4 and others were saved as PDF's from Word. After moving over the individual PDF's to the side bar, the document saves fine in Preview at full size. When I use the quartz filter to "Save As" "Reduced File Size" one page saves as a negative image and the others are all fine.
One suggestion I saw in a similar thread was that the mode in PS might be CMYK, however it is not and it is RGB.
Any help as to solving this would be greatly appreciated.

If I select all pages 'save as' will only save out one page and not all.
JPEG is single-page.
If I print and choose 'pdf to jpeg'
Elaborate, please.
Is there a way to save to pages out in one go to jpeg where I can adjust the dpi setting?
Yes. Build an Automator workflow using the PDFs > Render PDF Pages as Images action.
Once I have the reduced jpegs it's easy enough to reimport into preview and save as a pdf.
If the desired final output is multi-page PDF, no need to go through all that. You can do the task in Acrobat Pro (PDF Optimizer), or in Preview (Save as > PDF > Quartz Filter). If the current Reduce File Size filter doesn't provide satisfactory quality, use ColorSync Utility to duplicate it (or make a new filter from scratch) and adjust it to fit your needs.

Reports - Image resolution : How to minimize file size of exported report?

Our reports are currently using high quality images which makes the file size bigger. Is there any way to reduce the exported report's file size?
Please provide us the way to use lower quality images in reports to minimize the file size.
NOTE: In these reports we are embedding the images (with ".jpg" format) programatically at runtime. Also we are using Crystal Reports XI (Product Version 11.5.0.313) with .Net 1.1 framework.

Using an image program like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro you need to reduce the number of colors and DPI while maintaining as much of the clarity as possible.
Here's what steps will help.
Open the image you want to change.
Check the 'Count of Colors used' in the tool you're using. If more than 256 (8 bit) you'll not be able to do much to reduce colors, but most likely the image has a palette of 17.6 million colors (24 bit)
If a color image, try reducing to 8bit, 10bit or 12bit. If a b&w change it to grey scale and reduce. Some forms can be reduced to 16 (4 bit).
Next, check the DPI, usually in the 'image information' tool. If it's more than 200 try reducing to 200.
Save the image in BMP format with RLE compress if possible. Look at it in the image tool to see if it has held up.
We recently pulled 11 pages from a PDF to PNG, changed them to greyscale BMP at 4bit 200DPI and it reduced the RPT file size from 317000k to 2000k.

Acrobat 7.0.9: Optimizing PDF increases file size?

Audit Space Usage in the Optimize dialog shows "Color Spaces" ballooning from 0.8 MB to 22 MB when a PDF is optimized (goes from 3% of the file size to 58%). File size increases from 23.8 MB to 35.6 MB.
What exactly is happening, and how can I fix it?
Thanks for any info.

Hey, Jon
Interesting...
Original file (300 dpi CMYK images) 23.8 MB
Images 19 MB
Color Spaces 0.8 MB
Optimize with flattening (72 dpi images, low quality) 68.7 MB
Images 49 MB
Color Spaces 18 MB
Optimize without flattening (72 dpi images, low quality) 68.2 MB
Images 48 MB
Color Spaces 18 MB
Not sure why color spaces are down to 18 MB from 22 MB, I used a preset that I THOUGHT was the same one I used yesterday. Regardless, it's bizarre that both images and color spaces are getting huge when optimized.
I used Create PDF from Multiple Files to bring in a bunch of pages, but I'm reasonably sure that all those files were already flattened before I brought them in.
I'll file that transparency tip for next time though, you never know when it might come up.
Thanks.

PDF Reduce File Size makes certain pdfs HUGE

Generally reduce file size works great for me but certain files, those coming from someone using Microsoft Publisher in particular, result in larger pdfs. She sends me newsletters for a website and sometimes the 3 page pdfs are 2-4mb. I tried opening in Preview and re-saving them using the Reduce File Size filter and the result is that they ballon up to 50-100mb!! Info for the file reveals that the pdf producer is GPL Ghostscript 8.15 and the content creator is PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2. I seem to be able to open and reduce file size using Acrobat so I'm not quite sure why Preview is choking on them.

Hi geekinthegarden- This does not surprise me. There are many variations and reiterations in specifications of the PDF format.
Going from Ghostscript language interpreter, to Apple in rendering could introduce complications which we will not be able to sort out in this forum encapsulating a complete description of a fixed-layout 2D documents that includes the text, fonts, images, and 2D vector graphics which compose the documents.
Suffice to say it is not a perfect science.
Print PDF has a compress PDF file option as well as ColorSynch in your /Utilities folder +reduce file size+ option for PDF's. This may or may not be of use.
You found your workaround using Acrobat, this is part of the value of having more than one PDF viewer, good computing!

Bloated PDF Export File Size

I just exported a 2 page file that contained 3 graphics and
text. The file was an 493K in size and could not be made any
smaller using Adobe Pro 7.0. This is amazingly large since the old
Buzzword graphic PDF output was 393K. I then exported the file as a
Word document and then printed a PDF output using Adobe Pro 7.0 and
the file was only 95K.
This new PDF export feature is a disappointment. It produces
way larger file sizes than any PDF produced by an Adobe desktop
application. Why is it so inefficient?

RLarimore,
Sorry to hear about your disappointment about this feature.
This problem is known and I think Adobe/Buzzword team would be
improving it in future releases (though I don't know their
time-line or feature priority). This was the first cut
implementation of this feature - and nobody knew what folks would
want to see improved first. I guess now we know :).
What would most likely be the problem: Fonts embedded inside
the PDF are subset-embedded but not fully optimized and that would
have led to big size. Fonts are difficult beasts to tame, and I am
sure they would be tamed someday.

Photoshop PDF and File Size...And Into Acrobat

I have an 8x10 at 144 ppi
I Save As Ps PDF> Compression> Options> DO NOT DOWNSAMPLE
Compression: JPEG> Image Quality: MAX (gives me 6mb file)
Compression: JPEG> Image Quality: MEDIUM (gives me 9mb file)
Ps> Save As JPEG gives me 840kb file
HOW can I get Ps to Save a PDF in the JPEG file size?
I want to set the resolution and quality in Ps and SIMPLY move it to a PDF...

Bingo, unchecking Preserve PS editing fixed the problem...thanks
