PDF attachments changing size

Here is the story. I received two PDF files from my corp. office. They went out as 4.5MB and 4.4MB. When they downloaded on my Mac they are now 6.1 MB and 5.9 MB. My iPhone shows them as the 4.5 & 4.4 file size. Why is the size different? This would not be a big deal but the corp. server has a 10 MB cap and now I have to send these files out one at a time.

depends on how each was saved as
PDF-A
PDF/A-1a – Level A compliance in Part 1
PDF/A-1b – Level B compliance in Part 1
PDF
PDF/X
PDF/E
PDF/UA
PDF/VT
also optimization, font embedding.
Diff. Acrobat Pro versions (ver9, verX, AcrobatXI) also will save same files in diff. sizes with same parameters.
Theres almost a 1000 variables that change PDF size, I have been working with Acrobat PDF now for nearly 15 years on a daily basis with 14TB of PDF books.
Its almost shocking how many diff. ways you can take document "X" and save it 1000 diff sizes

Is there a good way to automate changing existing links to external PDFs to instead be to PDF attachments with same names?

Greetings!
Can anyone tell me a good way to automate changing a "main" PDF's existing hyperlinks to external PDFs to instead be links to PDF attachments to the main PDF (the attached PDFs to have the same filenames as the external PDFs) ?
Format of current link in main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\\path\filename.pdf
Destination name: P:1
When link is manually changed to link to a PDF that has been attached to the main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: PDF attachment
Page: 1
Zoom level: Fit page
The new PDF link does not list the PDF attachment filename in the link.
The main PDF (the one that has the links that I would like to automatically change) is generated with the hyperlinks to other PDFs from Adobe FrameMaker 11. In FrameMaker11, we added special marker text "openpage filename.pdf:1" that is "automatically" changed to be hyperlinks to external PDFs when the main PDF is created (postscript file is processed) by Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.
My first choice is to be able to change the format of the special marker text in Adobe FrameMaker source file, but I have not found way to specify a link to be to a PDF attachment with a certain filename.
However, I would also really like the option of running a batch file on a main PDF to change the links there.
Has anyone tried using that Adobe ExtendScript ToolKit CS6 to do this? That is, a script that could automatically modify the hyperlinks in a PDF to link to PDF attachments rather than external PDFs, or else modify the unprocessed links while they are still in Postscript file format, or else modify the marker text in FrameMaker to instead of creating a link to a PDF in the same directory as the main PDF being processed, to create a link to a PDF attachment files?
Thank you,

FrameMaker's Hypertext feature has no ability to "link" to an attachment on/in a target PDF.
PDFs sourced from FM can have named destinations set in the FM authoring files such that a link from file01.fm to the specified named destination in file01.fm will be functional in the PDFs created from the FM files.
Then, of course, there's the dynamics possible by use o FM Books. But that's the grist for the mills at the FM user-2-user forum.
RE: Scripting - PDF scripting is via Acrobat JavaScript. That something still of and by Adobe although it may migrate to an ISO Standard (or be rolled up in a future ISO 32000).
So, to the point - look to Acrobat JavaScript for scripting.
Be well...

Outcome changed when clicking on PDF attachments

Outcome changed when clicking on PDF attachments.
This is recent, possibly after updates I am using Adobe Reader 10.0.10, Firefox 35.0.1 on a machine running Windows 7
I no longer get the open/save dialogue box when I click on a pdf attachment, how do I get this back please?
I am having other problems but they may be related to the above so I would like to sort that first if possible.

No,, sorry for the lack of clarity, pdf attachments to emails and other pdfs on the web. I am not sure whether it is a reader problem or a browser problem.
For example, I click on a PDF attachment to an email and the computer immediately attempts to save it to a file, usually opening the last folder I saved a PDF to, no dialogue box to ask me whether I want to open it or save it to a file. Likewise I went to a web site to print an invoice, clicked on the print invoice button and the computer attempted to save the file to the last folder.

Multiple pdf attachments from server folder using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

Dears,
I am trying to build a program able to send an email with multiple pdf attachments.
The files are stored in a folder in SAP server.
I am able to generate a pdf file from a spool and sucessfully attach it to the email using:

    ENDIF.
Internal table it_mess_att_aux is the parameter contents_bin of FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
I have now 2 files on a server folder which I would like to include as well.
I am reading the content of the pdf files in following way:
DATA:   gd_buffer                 TYPE string,
      OPEN DATASET lv_fileserver FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.

          IF sy-subrc <> 0.
            EXIT.
          ENDIF.
          APPEND gd_buffer TO it_mess_att_aux.
        ENDDO.
        APPEND LINES OF it_mess_att_aux TO it_mess_att.
I do not understand the purpose of the statement:
        TRANSLATE it_lines USING ' ~'.
in this context. Could anyone explain it?
All the files are attached to email with the desired name but corrupted and with the wrong size.
Can anyone help me build the logic to attach a pdf file from server in a email?
Thank you in advance,
Kind Regards,

Print PDF Attachments Automatically...???

Hello All,
I have an eFax account that emails me a PDF attachment when I get a fax...
Is there any way that anyone can think of that I print the PDF attachments and automatically when an email comes into that account...??
For billing purposes, I open and print them all anyway, so maybe some automation will make my day a little easier...
Thanks for the input...
Mike

Make a rule to fire an applescript when you get one of these.
Have the script save the attachment in a particular folder.
Give the folder a folder action script which sends the new file to the printer.

How to Stop Large PDF attachments from displaying?

Using Leopard and large PDF attachments (9mb) slow Mail down to a crawl. Is there a way to stop attachments from automatically displaying in Mail. It can be all atachments, it does not have to be just PDF or a certain size.
Dan

Hi Mulder,
I think it must be noted that Plain or Rich Text has no bearing on Mail's ability to View in Place. Nor does View in Place have any bearing on each attachment being a true attachment. Whether it is viewed Inline by the recipient will depend entirely on the recipients email client, and not how you send.
View in Place must not be confused with embedding images into text. The frequent discussion in these forums, and what you refer to, about whether to use Plain Text or RTF is relevant to some recipient email programs seeing inline attachments as embedded images due to the presence of the HTML that results from RTF when multiple fonts and attachments are present. The fact that the person composing sees the attachments with View in Place has no bearing on this issue involving HTML that results from RTF.
Choosing the View as Icon while you Compose has no bearing on how the recipient's email application displays it.
With those email clients where you can select to not view attachments inline, those you find viewing in place as you compose will in fact be seen as attached files in Icon form.
At my request, I was sent a test message with a JPEG prepared using Iconiser -- Mail still displayed the JPEG in the message with View in Place when received. However, an examination in Raw Source form showed the header to the attachment did not have the disposition as "Inline" as it normally would -- this would aid with some recipients, such as those using Lotus Notes, where the attempt to adhere to the inline quality causes problems. But Mail, and some other email clients, can still display the message with attached images with View in Place or Inline View. The use of Iconiser will not guarantee to change that.
As you have pointed out, zipping will prevent any form of View in Place from working.
All the best,
Ernie

How to allow domain users to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences

Hi
I am able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences in admin login but not able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domian users login...
can I have a solution to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domin user login

WOW! I was amazed to see that within minutes of posting my initial thread, I tried something that works.
Apparently, the only way is will actually convert is if you select the regular Print option in the File tab. Then, change the Printer to Adobe PDF & the Paper Size to 11x17. It also worked for 36"x48" becuase I created a custom size named "Poster", so I changed the paper size to Poster & it worked!
I hope this helps someone. I searched for an existing forum on this issue off & on for MONTHS before creating this thread. If anyone has any suggestions why the Adobe PDF tab /PDF Maker wouldn't work, I'd like to know.

No Longer Able To Resize Images (PDF Attachments)

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and am now unable to resize my PDF attachments once they are within an email.
Maybe I'm missing something, but in the older version of Mail / Leopard I was able to easily resize my attached PDF's on the fly by simply adjusting their size from a drop-down menu in the lower-right corner of the email window by selecting: Image Size: "Small" "Medium" "Large" or "Actual Size."
To the best of my knowledge, this window no longer exists for PDF's, although it is still available for attached JPEG resizing.
I am deeply invested into using and resizing PDF's in my workflow and would like to regain this ability.
Any suggestions or solutions for this dilemma would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Please check this further -- make sure you open the PDF with a PDF reader in a copy either sent to yourself or in the Sent mailbox. Do not base the resolution on what you see if it is a one page PDF, and Mail is displaying it in the message with View in Place. The View in Place is not the full story.

Adobe reader X prints email PDF attachments as english then oriental

Using Windows XP, IE 8, Adobe Reader X and HP Laserjet 4000 printer.
Sometimes when I print email PDF attachments from Office Outlook 2003, the attachments start printing in English and then subsequent pages turn into an oriental language (not sure which one). If I view the attachment prior to printing all the pages are clearly in English. Other times if I print the item and it is okay (in English), if I reprint it, it may start in English and then goes to the other language.
I have not incurred anything like this in any other printing program that I use such as Word or Excel.
I have no idea why this is happenning. Any ideas what causes this and if so how to correct this?

Solved it!
1-go to "edit", select Preferences.
2-select from the left pane: Security (enhanced)
3-click on "add folder path" button just below the big white box
4-pick a folder of your choice and click "ok". (your selected folder path will appear in that white box above the "add folder path" button in step 3)
5-if you want to add additional folders, just repeat steps 3 & 4
6-once you are done, click "ok" on the preferences screen and click "ok" again to accept the changes.
Yes, it seems illogical, but it worked.
I tested by closing the Reader (X), then surfed the web and did what Neher5 was explaining he/she wanted to do just after opening a pdf from a website and lo-and-behold, it worked!. No more "save to temp folder" issues.
Hope this helps.

PDF Bloating in size

Hello,
We create some fancy and a lot of no-fancy PDF's in our shop. I am currently working with a no-fancy PDF with a few lines, headings and text fields. A colleague of mine wanted to move a text field by a bit. I did that and when I saved the file (using File > Save as > Optimized PDF) the file size jumped from 9K to 12K. I had customized settings for Optimized PDF for low resolution etc.,
Since this is a highly intensive application and gets used quite a lot, bandwidth really matters. I am curious to know why moving a text field causes an increase in size. Secondly, we are getting big on creating PDF"s all the time - Is there a tutorial to create the smallest size PDF's? I would like to create PDF"s of the least possible size. Currently we use Word to create all the static stuff, save it as a PDF and then create text fields for the dynamic stuff using Adobe Pro.
Thanks for your time. I would really appreciate any input you could provide.
Adobe Pro 9.3.2 on Windows XP

Ah ha!
When printing the PDF file I needed to change the page scaling from 'shrink to fit' to 'None'
Fixed!

PDF Printer Page Size Limitation

I have been creating documents in Microsoft Publisher 2007 & have been trying to convert them to PDF via the Acrobat PDF Maker. When I am dealing with 11x17 & Poster size (36"x48"), the PDFMaker gets into the Converting Process (60%) then displays the following option:
PDF Page Size in Adobe PDF printer is small causing pages to be split.
Press OK to convert without preserving transparency, bookmarks & links.
Press Cancel to choose a bigger sheet (at least 17.00 by 11.00 inches)
I hit cancel & have changed every Page Size option I can find including:
the Change Conversion Settings, in the Adobe PDF tab in Publisher
Conversion Settings: (Created custom setting with default page size)
Printers & Faxes in Control Panel
Adobe PDF Printer
Printing Preferences
Changed default settings & page size
I even changed the output paper 11x17
Yet, it never fails to try to convert everything into letter size. It seems as though it won't do anything over Letter size.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard & running Windows XP.
PLEASE HELP!

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.
Have you tried posting this on an Adobe support site?
Good luck,

Export to PDF ignores document size settings?

I have several documents in InDesign CS4 and when I export them to PDF the document size changes.
I have set all the following options to A4 (210x297mm):
In Indesign: File->Document Settings
In Windows->Printer settings->Adobe PDF->Paper Size
After exporting and opening in Reader 9 the document size has changed to 210 x 303.3mm
This then requires a tweak before the first print run.
I should be able to just export to production and they can print from the PDF without checking the settings!
What have I missed?

I am using the export option not printing to PDF.

I'm unable to email PDF attachments, this has started in the last 2 weeks - any clues why as other file types are sending?

I'm unable to email PDF attachments, this has started in the last 2 weeks - any clues why as other file types are sending?

Greetings,
That is rather strange. Attachments are attachments. The big difference between what will send and what won't is usually either who you are sending it to (wrong email address) or how big the attachment is (most email providers have a limit to the total message size between 10 MB and 20 MB).
-- What happens when you say you are "unable to email PDF attachments"? What error message do you get?
-- Are you sending these emails using the Mail program?
-- What is the file size of the PDF you are trying to send?
-- What happens if you compress the PDF before you email it (Highlight the PDF on the desktop and then go to File > Compress) ?
-- What happens if you send the PDF to yourself?
Cheers.

Ipad 2 - email PDF attachments corrupt

I seem to be having trouble viewing PDF's on my Ipad2. They read fine on my iphone and my mac and my work PC. When I "open in" any reader I have same problem. I tried Ibooks, goodreader, notesplus, Pdf provider and so on. I get some graphics but then blurry or blackish boxey lines where words should be written.
I can open them in "cloud on" fine also. Strange.
Any comments?
