My pdf file is too big to convert!

I just subscribed to Adobe Export PDF.  I paid $102 to Office Max to scan a 500-page manuscript into a .pdf.  Adobe Export PDF tells me my file, which is 199,600 KB, is too big.  It cannot exceed 100MG.  I don't know how to reduce the size of my .pdf file.  What do I do?!

Hi sherryesta,
You have a couple of options here.
You could ask OfficeMax to split the PDF they provided you into 3 or 4 parts.  Given that you've already paid them a large sum of money for the file in the first place, taking a few minutes to divide the file for you in Adobe Acrobat should be a simple task for them to accomplish for you.
Alternatively, you could download the trial of Adobe Acrobat XI to convert the file (or divide it).  The trial can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro/

    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.

  • Note that pdf file is too big 1.7MB, how I may reduce it ?

    I did a brochure SummerTheater2009-3web.ai and convert to
    SummerTheater2009-3web.pdf
    located at
    http://www.ancientgreekdramainstitute-cyprus.org/images/SummerTheater2009-3web.pdf
    can you tell me how much this cost[50-100 prints will be printed] ?
    Also note that is too big 1.7MB, how I may reduce it for web ?

    What to choose for "Compatibility" in the SaveAsPDF Dialog box ?
    Once you have found a printer (see below) ask them. I suggest selecting Press Quality, and turning off Preserve Illustrator Editing Capability
    How much cost the design about(out printing cost) ?
    Open a damn yellow pages to P and start calling printers.
    How in Illustrator I see an objects Dimensions/coordinates, like a Rectancle ?
    May change where (0,0) in coordinate system is, change center, or this is fixed ?
    What?
    If you have an unrelated question, make a new post in the forum. Try to clearly state the problem: What do you want to do? What did you do? What did you expect? What did you get instead? Take a screen capture to show what you are talking about and add it to your post using the camera icon.
    BTW: In response to your initial question, attached (and probably queued until Rapture) is the same PDF saved as press quality without PDF compatibility. 420 kB.
    Your document Color Mode  (File menu) is RGB, but for a printed document that should be CMYK. After converting to CMYK make sure your blacks (the text and frames) are not rich black (Left) but Process Black (Right).

  • Exporting to PDF - file size too big

    Hello! Hope you are all well
    I have a Price Guide that i have converted from Quark to InDesign. When the price guide was exported as a PDF at smallest file size possible in Quark, i could get it down to 5mb. At smallest file size (and modified to be even lesser quality images) in InDesign, i can't get it below 8.7mb. We need it to be below 5mb to send via email. The images it is linking to are exactly the same as the images the Quark file was linking to, but just to make absolutely sure i could get the smallest size possible, i went into photoshop and made every image that was over 10mb smaller.
    I wouldn't mind telling my boss it can't be done - but we know it can be in Quark....so i don't see why not in InDesign.
    Any ideas anyone?
    I'm on a Mac, OSX 10.5.8, InDesign CS3.

    linziloop,
    I've run into the same problem. Some of my clients insist on the smallest possible PDFs, regardless of (poor) image quality. I've been able to reduce the PDF sizes dramatically by printing to PS and then distilling the PS file (someone else mentioned that this was the Quark method).
    Don't know why it works, since I use the same settings (compression, etc.) as I use when printing directly to PDF or exporting to PDF. But it works for me.

  • Mac OS creates huge PDF file - PDF file size too big

    Hi,
    I have a 80 K Word file. The file is one page, some text and a 12 KB .jpg file imported in. I then duplicated the jpg graphic 7 times (8 total images).
    Here are the resulting sizes when creating PDF's using different methods within Mac OS X print menu:
    Save as PDF 550 KB
    Compress PDF 5.2 MB !!!!
    Save as PDF w/ Quartz reduce file size 2.5 MB !!!!
    Compress PDF w/ Quartz reduce file size 2.1 MB !!!!
    I recreated (from scratch) the same content using Canvas. I got the following:
    Canvas X "Save as:PDF" 56 KB
    Mac OS print pdf 550 KB
    Mac OS print compress PDF 2.5 MB !!!
    Can anyone explain what is going on??? I can make the file available if you with to play with it.
    Version Details:

    Thanks much,

    I don't have distiller on my Mac... and the point (which I haven't gotten into) is that this is for a friend who just got a Mac. So, here I was touting the ease of use and she goes and finds a way to turn a 60 kB Word file into this monstrosity. So, the point is to avoid "extra steps" and additional software (which I eventually had to do anyway with Canvas X).
    I just don't understand how the Mac OS X PDF maker can take a 60 kB Word document and turn it into a 5 MB behemoth... and this is when set to compress the PDF!
    I mean, a 5 MB jpeg is about 40-50 MB uncompressed which, for an 8.5x11" page is 300 dpi at 16 bit RGB color, 400 dpi 8 bit color.
    I've just never come accross anything like this and am totally clueless what is going on.
    Thanks for any insights.

  • Converting MPEG-2 to DV - file is too big!

    Okay, I took an old 120 min. VHS tape and converted it to MPEG-2. Then, using MPEG Streamclip with Apple MPEG-2 Playback, I converted that file to DV so that I can edit it with iMovie and finally with iDVD.
    My problem: the file is too big. I'm assuming that, to finish this project in iDVD, I need to stay under 4.7 GB. Well, this file is 16.7 GB!
    Can I compress it after it has already been converted to DV?
    If not, what settings do I need to adjust on MPEG Streamclip to convert this 120 min. MPEG-2 file into an iMovie/iDVD compatible file that's under 4.7 GB?
    Also, being that I need to compress the file so much, doesn't that mean I'm going to lose 75% in picture/sound quality?? I hope not.
    I'd appreciate any tips you guys may have for me. Thank you!

    When iDVD burns your iMovie project to a DVD, it encodes the movie (compresses it) as MPEG-2.
    iDVD can burn projects up to 2 hours in length to a single-sided DVD.
    Your video must be about 85 minutes, for DV is about 13GB per hour. So it should be fine.

  • How can I perform the conversion of pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The pdf file is too small for me to read right now. Julyan Watts

    How can I perform the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The .pdf file is too small for me to read without a magnifying glass, and the document is more than one thousand pages.

    This answer was not helpful. First of all, I could not find "tech specs"
    anywhere on the Acrobat 11 homepage. And secondly I purchased this software
    for the specific purpose of converting .pdf files to Word. It was only
    after I had completed the purchase that I learnt that Acrobat does not
    permit the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic to Word files  in Cyrillic.
    I feel that Acrobat should have provided this crucial information before I
    allowed my credit card to be debited. That is why I  am now asking for my
    money back. But thanks for your attempt to solve my problem, even if it was
    not successful.

  • ERROR : OpenDoc CR to PDF - File is too large for attachment.

    We are getting the following error in 3.1 using an OpenDoc call when we call a large Crystal Report to PDF format...
    Error : 52cf6f8f4bbb6d3.pdf File is too large for attachment.
    It runs OK from BOE when given parameters that returned 44 pages. (PDF = 139 KB)
    We get the error on a parameter-set that returns 174 pages when run via CR Desktop or as a SCHEDULED Instance. (PDF = 446 KB).
    Client application can't use the SDKs to SCHEDULE Instances - only configured for OpenDoc calls.....
    The BOE server is running on SOLARIS - and it's is a 2 Server CMS-Cluster.
    The problem is SPORADIC, so I am thinking the issue is related to a specific setting on one of the servers.
    Any thoughts on where to start looking...?

    Problem is _not _with the number of Rows returned - it is an issue with the size of the PDF file that it is trying to move.
    Found a possible WINDOWS solution on BOB - need to find if there is an equivalent for SOLARIS...
    Check the dsws.properties on web server D:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\classes
    See if you can change any parameter to remove size limitation.

  • The offset in the file is too big"? Other than, hey it's FAT formatted, etcetera!

    Does anyone have an answer for "The offset in the file is too big" error while creating a file using QT API "writeToFile"?
    I mean something other it's FAT formatted, not enough space, et cetera. Anyone?

    First how much free space do you have on your boot drive.  For normal use it's recommended to have a minimum of 10 GB free space.  If you use iDVD up that to 20-25 GB.  Lots of cache and swap space is needed.
    Create the slideshow in iPhoto, set the disiplay size ratio to 4:3 and export it out of iPhoto at the medium or large size. 
    Open a new project in iDVD and add the QT file to the iDVD menu being careful to avoid any dropzones.
    With a 90 minute slideshow you can use a single layer DVD disk. iDVD doesn't care about the file size of the media added to a project, only the playing time of the project, including menus.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    You shouldn't try to create the slideshow in iDVD with still photos if the number of still photos is larger than 99.  That creates a pause or stall when playing back on many set top players.

    Hey Z,
    Thank you for the tip on exporting by media browser (large) from imovie. But of course, if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I figured how to export a large file from imovie, I have an idvd issue. I followed the instructions for burning from idvd and changing the encoding to professional quality and the burn speed to x4, but I am receiving an error that states the following,
    Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
    Project:
    - total project duration: 79:04 minutes
    - total project capacity: 4.327 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
    Menus:
    - number of menus in project: 1 menus
    - total menu duration: 0:39 minutes
    - total menu capacity: 37.370 MB
    Movies:
    - total movies duration: 78:25 minutes
    - total movies capacity: 4.291 GB
    I have searched in the idvd forum for similar issues and I am stumped at this point. I have tried deleting the encoding assets and re launching idvd with the changed preferences, and still the same error. I know you mentioned something about free hard drive space available, and I have very little left. 4GB to be exact due to massive hours of non-edited footage. I am not sure if this is why, but I do not recall ever needing free space to burn memory onto a separate dvd. I would be more than happy if I am wrong, and it would be a quick fix. Otherwise, the technical nightmare continues. It's all a learning process and your expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
