Optimize PDF Save

Hi,
In our project, we are doing some image processing operations on images in PDF pages.
For that we will do following steps:
1.       1. Extract image from PDF page. (Getting image as uncompressed format)
2.       2. Do image processing operation.
3.       3. Flatten the processed image into PDF page.
While doing these steps, our PDF file size getting increased.
For that, we decided to do OptimizePDFSave Operation after step3 and confirmed that PDF file size is reduced.
Code used for Optimize PDF Save operation:
Here we are using JPGE compression type for images (“Standard” parameter).
Customer feels like JPGE compression is loss compression type.
Customer is expecting same image compression type available in PDF image content.
Please help us to resolve the issue.

What is the issue, exactly? JPEG is lossy, certainly. What was the original compression on the images? Why don't you just compress the images as you write them rather than later using the optimizer?
I'm afraid I don't understand your code. Why would a plug-in send a WM_CLOSE message to Acrobat?

Optimize PDF to a specific maximum size

I also posted this in the feature request forum.
I would like to be able to optimize PDFs of various sizes to a size small enough to email. I would like the images to be automatically down sampled only as much as needed to reduce the final PDF to a specified size. Perhaps a script or plug-in exists?

I've never heard of such a plug-in or script. It wouldn't be easy to develop because it would require explicit knowledge of all the things which can make a file large. Images would be easy to calculate but file overhead, and other things are much more difficult.
Your best bet would to use the PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer) in Acrobat 9, or File > Save As > Optimized PDF in Acrobat X. In the PDF Optimizer, click the Audit Space Usage button to see what takes up space in the PDF file.

Optimization PDF, make compatible with

With Acrobat Pro, there is a command(order) (as we can make File, Register(Record) for example) in programming, to make the equivalent of: optimization PDF, Make compatible with and to choose a previous version of acrobat?

Thank you for your answer.
Related to my first question (compatibility with Acrobat Reader 5.0), how should I save the PDF created ???? Saving the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.0 with standard save option makes the document not readable by Acrobat Reader 5.0.
Should I save the document as PDF/A, PDF/X or any other subset ????? If so, I'm not sure if they are included in the Standard.
Thank you in advance.

Optimize PDF size

woe, gloom and distress … I created a document called pinForms.fm today, after having the installerUpdate run on my FM 10. It's part of a three-file book. When I try "save as .pdf" on the book, all files open, I get the always mysterious message "saving or printing this document … can occur … earlier than 6.0" and the instruction "Use Format > document > Optimize PDF size". And no .pdf output.
Obediently running the command, on pinForms.fm since that's the file the message points the finger at, gets me
Finished optimizing pinForms.fm and linked files for PDF File size.
Processed 0 files.
and no improvement
A simple way to print this 30-page book without hassle would be much appreciated. I don't know what's going on, but I do know I have had more grief with FM 10 (at a client site since the start of November) than with 5.5, 6, 7 and 9 put together :-{

Feels like I was just at the wrong place and the wrong time, at some unpredictable intersection of circumstances …
Ignoring the message didn't help, just left me without any .pdf output. I felt the need for results, so I started from File > New (as detailed in another post) and finally managed to migrate my content into a doc file that didn't throw any errors. On the way there, I came across "Separation out of range" and "Inconsistent colour definition", which I overcame with MIF and file-by-file comparison.
Arnis, you'd already helped me with the Creator vs real Distiller configuration
Error7103, if I hit this annoyance again I'll experiment with printer settings and routes.

public OptimizePDFResult optimizePDF(Document inputDocument, String fileTypeSettings, Document inSettingsDoc) throws ConversionException, InvalidParameterException, FileFormatNotSupportedException
Optimizes the input PDF document by reducing its size. This method also converts the PDF document to the PDF version specified in the optimization parameters. This method supports the same optimization settings as Adobe Acrobat.
Parameters:
inDoc - This mandatory parameter contains an instance of the Document whose content is to be optimized. For this object, it is recommended that you either use the appropriate Document constructor if you have access to the file, or that you use the com.adobe.idp.Document.setAttribute() method if you only have access to the stream.
fileTypeSettings - Name of a file type settings instance that is defined on the LiveCycle server. The LiveCycle Administration Console window for Generate PDF lets you view the currently defined file type settings. It also lets you create custom file type settings. If the inSettingsDoc parameter specifies a non-NULL value, this parameter is ignored. If this parameter and the inSettingsDoc parameter are both null, this method uses the default file type settings instance that is defined on the LiveCycle server.
inSettingsDoc - file2pdf-settings XML file that contains file type settings to use for optimization, including the file type settings used by this method. For information about this file, see the description for the createPDF2() method.
Returns:
An object that exposes a method for getting the optimized PDF document.
Throws:
ConversionException
InvalidParameterException

When i try to optimize a PDF version 1.3 to 1.5 it can take awhile. I then create a package using this and other files. The DDX Assembler is throwing an error. It appears to be that it cannot locate the file on the server or the file is not done when the assembler calls iit.

Use sdk to create com application to optimize pdf

I've created a new plugin that enable me to optimize PDF using the method AVDocSaveOptimized,
but this plugin has the extension .api
Now
I want to create a new COM application in c++ that make the same thing as the above plugin, but I'm facing a problem in using the SDK
Is the SDK able to be used in third party application ? (with info that the end user will has acrobat professional installed on his PC)
If this is possible? please tell me the instructions/configurations that I should do to finish this thing
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 to create my c++ application

Your Plugin will need to expose it's on COM (or other IAC methods) and
then your stand-alone application can call the plugin to do the work.

Share PDF Save Presets

I'm looking for a simple way to share PDF save presets. Ideally, some kind of package I can email to both Mac and PC users for use in both Acrobat Pro XI and Illustrator CS6. Would likely be used mostly in saving .ai to PDFs in Illustrator.
Manually describing save settings through email always leads to user-inaccuracy. Would be great if there was a file type that, when opened, just plugs itself into relevant programs with PDF export or save options.
Would really appreciate some help on this!

I made a custom PDF preset called HQS_150ppi. It's been saved into the path I wrote about. Note the .joboptions extension:
In InDesign CS6, it's shown in the Export > Adobe PDF (Print) dialog box or File > Adobe PDF Presets. In Illustrator CS6, it's shown in Save As > Adobe PDF (pdf) dialog box or Edit > Adobe PDF Presets:

Is there a way to have PDFs save to ICloud but accessible through IBooks?

The Cloud is for Apple-purchased items only. To get pdfs across multiple devices, you can email them, sync them through itunes or save to an app like Dropbox (a cloud-based service) and open in iBooks.

PDF save settings for new Firefox reader

I have seen discussions on how to change your own settings in Firefox so PDFs display correctly (Viewing PDF documents in Firefox 19+) however I am looking for a solution on how to save PDFs so they display correctly within the default new Firefox reader. Our PDFs are looking bad and I can't go into each clients browser settings and fix (http://www.cherrybekaertbenefits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/ACA_Infographic_072114.pdf). Are their any settings within the Acrobat Distiller that will fix this without the viewer having to go into their own settings? My team uses Creative Cloud so any updates or setting solutions would be greatly appreciated! I will report back if I find anything on the Firefox forums but so far I've seen nothing.

I believe I've found a solution. I had inquired on both the Mozilla and Adobe forums hoping someone out there was having a similar issue.
Kudos to jscher2000 on Mozilla!!
The Solution--
'Optimize for Fast Web View' appears to be the issue.
Note: When you uncheck this option the PDF becomes significantly larger but no more bad color. I've found if you also uncheck 'Preserve Illustrator Capabilities' and 'Create Acrobat Layers from Top-Level Layers' as well then the file size goes back down quite a bit.
Optimize checked= 183k
Optimize unchecked = 923k
Optimize, Preserve and Layers unchecked = 566k
