Large pdf file after editing

Hi-
I recently scanned catalogs for a website I manage to make
them available on line. The company owner indicated he needed some
material removed from each page so I brought each page into
PhotoShop, cloned out the material and re-saved each page as a pfd
and reassembled each catalog in Acrobat.
Problem is, the new file sizes are huge! One catalog went
from 5.7 megs to 160.5! I've tired to the pdf optimizer to no
avail. Any Ideas?
Thanks,
John Jordan

  • Can't SAVE pdf file after editing.

    So, it can understand as I can't edit my pdf as well..
    I tried to click on save or save as, but apparently it didn't save the file on my computer, and I don't know why this could be.
    When I clossed adobe it just kept asking whether I need to save it before I close it. But it still didn't work either I pressed Yes and select the original file name to overwrite it or to find a new location and rename it.
    It's a 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe Reader X
    Please help, thanks!

    Please post in the Adobe Reader forum.  But even over there they will tell you that you cannot edit a PDF file with Adobe Reader.  Or maybe you will need to explain further what / how you were editing that PDF file.

  • Can't download large pdf file

    I'm trying to download a large pdf file (26.2 mb) to my iPad.  It appears to download, then appears, as 440 blank pages.  It offers to open the file in iBook, but that also doesn't have any results.  Is there a limit on the size of the pdf file it can handle?  I tried to e-mail it from my computer, but the file is too big for my e-mail program.  This is a book I would really love to read on the iPad--how can I get it there?  thanks, B.

    Yes, I see that as well. Talk about a bad assumption. I thought from what I had read that the feature worked like Spotlight on the Mac. In fact I could swear I've read that on Apple's site somewhere. Not the first time I was wrong and certainly not the last. Alas I stand corrected again.
    Frankly, after investigating the search function further - IMHO - it seems pretty useless.  A number of the apps that I use have their own search functions built in. I've read that you can search for a missing app on your iPad with this feature, but other than that and finding contacts and emails it seems pretty pointless to me.

  • A pdf file failed to convert to word, presumably because of size.  how do i split a large pdf file into manageable secrtions?

    I'm running Abode Reader XI version 11.0.7.  Repeated attempts to convert a large (439 page) file, a dissertation, failed.  How do I split a large pdf file like this into manageable sections for conversion?

    Hi Mike,
    Your 11MB file is well within the file-size limits for ExportPDF, but depending on the number of pages, complexity of the file (and yours doesn't sound complex), and your connection speed, it is possible that the service is simply timing out before it can finish processing. These steps can help:
    If the file already contains editable text (that is, it isn't a scanned document), try disabling OCR as outlined in this this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
    Clear the browser cache and try again.
    Try a different browser.
    Let's start there. If you still can't export the file to Word, let me know and we'll take it from there.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Preflight keeps saying  "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

    I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
    I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
    I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
    Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads  "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
    if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
    OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file,  I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
    So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
    I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
    Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?

    Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much.  But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server.  Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed.  There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
    However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point.  Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
    As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case?  It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt.  Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good.  Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer.  I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped.  Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

  • In large PDF files my cursor moves around the page at warp speed. It does not seem to make any difference if I slow it down with Sys Prefs. This is not only in preview but also other programs to open PDFs.

    In large PDF files the cursor moves at warp speed with a mind of it's own, I've tried slowing it down in Sys Pref with no luck. On small files cursor action is normal. This happens in Safari, Preview and other programs that use PDF files. Sorry to say this does not seem to be a new problem with 7.# I've had it with prvevious versions of operating system Right now I'm using a Apple wireless mouse and key board. Using the USB keyboard and mouse the same problem does not go away.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • How to Optimize/Correct Large PDF files

    I have several large PDF files (>5000 pages) that were created with errors. I don't have the option of having them corrected. If I use a smaller file I can correct the errors using the Save As Optimized command using the default settings.  However, when I try this with a larger file, Acrobat runs for several minutes and becomes non responsive.  Is there another command or even Adobe product that would be more appropriate for accomplishing this?  Since I have a number of these files, a program that could be batched would be better.
    Thank you,
    Jeff
    I am running Acrobat X Version 10.1.7 on Windows 7.

    Thank you for your response.
    I should have explained better and we have continued to work on this.  The initial work was done on a machine without a lot of memory. After moving to a machine with more memory, Acrobat is able to handle some files.  But on one with 7700 pages it get a message "And error was encounted while processing images".  And when that dialog is closed another comes up saying "Insufficeint data for an image" and then the hourglass stays up. It seems like it runs out of memory.
    In terms of what errors are in the file, what I do know is that Acrobat will put up the dialog saying "An error exists on this page. ... Contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem".
    I have tried the Preflight. I have tried the compliance with the Acrobat 5 and it doesn't find any errors. Some errors are reported on PDF/  Is there a way to find out what causes the initial reported error.  There are a lot of individual repairs that can be made, but this seems to be too much trial and error.  That is why I used the Save As Optimized, which does seem to work on smaller files, but does fail on the larger ones.
    Thank you for any suggestions,
    Jeff

  • Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
    I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF.  No error message but just does not print.
    Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.

  • How to sync two excel files, the content is the same in both files after edit.

    I have two excel files, which are data and edit by multi users, how can I sync the master files to the copy files after edit?
    Is this operation required VBA? marco?

    Hi,
    Your request could be done via VBA code. Here are two ideas.
    One:
    Syncing the data from master file to the copy file without opening copy file. Sample code
    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    Dim cnn As Object, SQL$, s$
    Select Case True
    Case Target.Value = ""
    s = "null"
    Case IsDate(Target.Value)
    s = "#" & Target.Value & "#"
    Case IsNumeric(Target.Value)
    s = Target.Value
    Case Else
    s = "'" & Target.Value & "'"
    End Select
    Set cnn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    cnn.Open "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;extended properties='excel 8.0;hdr=no';data source=" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\test folder\Book2.xls"
    SQL = "update [Sheet1$" & Target.Address(0, 0) & ":" & Target.Address(0, 0) & "] set f1=" & s
    cnn.Execute (SQL)
    cnn.Close
    Set cnn = Nothing
    End Sub
    Two:
    Saving the master file as copy file before closing. Reference:

  • Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

    Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update?  My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

    NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
    Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
    Select "Properties"
    Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
    Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
    That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.

  • How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

    How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

    Hi,
    Copy the content of PDF file in Adobe Reader and paset it to MS Word then create PDF file from the Word file.
    This may not work for all PDF files as some PDF files are not created correctly or some content cannot be copied.
    Acrobat XI Pro has features to extract/delete/crop pages in PDF files and you can download it from www.adobe.com(Trial version- 30 days free). Or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html

  • How do i extract pages from a large pdf file?

    I have Windows XP, with Adobe Reader 9 and PDF version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) installed. I received a large pdf file (19,000KB) with 25 pages of architectural drawings. I want to extract just 8 pages from that document. Under the Documents Properties Tab, it states page extraction is allowed. How do i do this?
    Morgy1

    I'm not an Acrobat user. But if you have a PDF print driver or if Acrobat 5 5 has a print PDF mode you can tell the PDF print driver to print the page number that you want and it should prompt you to save the individual page in PDF format. If you don't have a PDF print driver you can Google PDFCreate and got to its website and download it and install it.

  • How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachments by icloud ??

    How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachment by email in Icloud ???

    That's a bit excessive.  The website http://convert.neevia.com/pdfcompress/ can compress files up to 5 MB in size. You may want to print to PDF single smaller pages, or print the document and scan it one page at a time to PDF, and then use the PDF compress tools to shrink it further.

  • I want to save large pdf files from my computer to my iPad so I can view them in Adobe Reader.

    I want to save large pdf files from my computer to my iPad so I can view them in Adobe Reader. I do not want to view them in iBooks or Quickoffice. Since I cannot email these large files, how can I get them on my iPad? Thanks for your help.

    I think that Adobe reader supports file sharing.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under "devices". Click on the Apps Tab in the window on the right. Scroll down to the File Sharing Apps list under the main apps list. Click on Adobe Reader. Drag the documents into the file sharing window on the right or select them using the "add" button.
    Launch the Adobe reader app and the files should be in there.
