PDF different size

I just joined Adobe PDF online conversion and converted my
first file. It is a 6" x 9" Word document but the resulting pdf is
8 1/2 a 11" which makes my margins much larger than they should be.
Why is this, and how can I get a 6 x 9 pdf. Thanks for any help you
can give.

Hello Welch6331,
Just caught your post, sorry for the delay!
When you say you joined Adobe PDF online conversion, are you
referring to the Create PDF online web service? or using
Acrobat.com to create your PDF?
In my testing just now, I had a 6x9 word doc that I uploaded
to create as a PDF. The resulting downloaded PDF file from
Acrobat.com was a 6inch x 9inch document.
Are you still seeing this?
If you didn't try with Acrobat.com, give that a go and see if
you have any different results!
Thanks!
Pete

PDF different sizes

When I created a pdf version of my 22 page book from the print command the file was 81mb. When I exported the book to buy it and checked the pdf, it was only 63mb.
Does anyone know what there would be such a drop in file size? I'm assuming it will equate to a quality difference too. Are there resolution settings that should be setup prior to exporting the book?
thanks,

In general, if the device resolution that the RIP Raster Image Processor will be imaging to is unknown, 300DPI would produce a sufficient LPI for professional offset. The RIP will simply discard the data it does not need, but if there is not enough data to begin with then definition may suffer, so setting 300DPI as default should work. It is possible to provide for compression in PDF as well as in PostScript. Indeed, JPEG was introduced in PostScript Language Level 2 (in order to stream PostScript page description programs faster on local area networks). As long as the system does not downsize the DPI, does not apply clearly lossy colourant compression, and does not clip source ICC profiles then slimming the file size should not be a worry.

How do you can change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents of different sizes that I want to combine.

Help. How do I change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents in varying sizes I would like to combine and print.

There's no real need to do that. A PDF can have pages of different sizes.

Portfolio pdf- why is text in different sizes on each page of pdf?

Even though i have saved my images with text (always font size 12) as the same size (eg. 10in x 10in at 100ppi), each time i save the images as a pdf the pdf then has all different size text from image to image- a complete mess as a portfolio.
Also when i then changed the size of the image and saved it as a copy, both images and text stay the same size! though both the ppi and scale differ in each images....
How do i change this? any tips appreciated!

You can't write directly in PDF from Output Module, only add a header or
footer text but that will repeat itself each page.
You could try so in an app like Word or if you have Pages or other design
application it would be possible to make your own layout and text and from
there save as PDF.
You can also try in PS, just create a template frame (new file) big enough
to paste the images in and with space around including more at the bottom
where you add the text you want. On the frame put a text layer and the file
layer for the image by either drag and drop or copy paste. Resize the image
till it fits in the frame
You cans resize the image on the template layer to fit in the frame as you
like and save as new files.
Now you have same sized frame with same ppi and font size.
With this files selected in Bridge in the order you want choose Output
Module with option for paper size, landscape or portrait, background color.
Choose 1 column and 1 row including auto space, deselect filename and
extension and also deselect header and footer if thy are not so already
(unless you want some text and page numbers)
I created the images in photoshop and then i use the bridge adobe output
module- the pdf is a multiple page document with one image per page which
has text written beneath the image -
as in the image is saved with a frame with title/text.
Is there a way of writing individual text directly onto each pdf page
instead of the image? perhaps this will solve the issue of differing text
sizes....?

Acrobat 8.0 Merging pdfs to one pdf, first pdf of different size

I have about 60 jpegs that I would like to convert to single pdf file.
When I try to make one pdf from these files, a binder is made without any errors but when I open this binder, the first pdf is of original size and all rest are of 25% size of the original. I tried converting each jpeg to pdf individually and then merging into one, results in same story.
Can anyone see whats going on here? I am using default settings at every point.
Many thanks in advance.

Are you sure it really is 25% of the original size? It's possible the image is of different sizes, and while in a binder, they will show them in relation to the other pages, not of their actual size.

How to make different size images the same size pdf in Acrobat.

I am trying to place 2 different size images into acrobat to create a pdf but one image is half the size. How do i make each page the same size when the images are different sizes?

Thank you, I changed the image size to match and then placed them in acrobat.

How to compress a batch of pdf files in different sizes to a specific target (20 mb)

Hi,
How do I compress a batch of pdf files in different sizes (21-39 mb) to a specific target (20 mb)?
Thanks:)

By endless trial and error.

PDF File Size - any way to compress further?

We have are using the Crystal for .NET export method to export a report to a .pdf file, and are having an issue with the pdf file size on a report that contains images. The images are stored in a SQL2005 database as blob or varbinary(max). The report executes a stored procedure that selects data (including images) to produce a quotation. There are input parms to decide which images to print (for example A, B or both A&B). Both types of images can appear at the line level on the quotation. Type A images print in the main report, Type B images are in a subreport. Both the main report & subreport execute a stored procedure to select an image type.
Our issue, when both Type A and B image is selected to print on a 293 line quote. The PDF file size is 44.23MB
When Type A only is selected, the PDF file size is 2.64MB
When Type B only is selected, the PFD file size is 43.95MB.
There are more Type B images that would print at the line level than Type A, but is there any way to compress this down further as it is too large to email.

You mention that you are using Crystal for .NET, but not what version; CR for .NET 2003, 2005, 2008. 2010?
Applying the latest fixes for the correct version of CR would be the first thing to do.
Next, I'd have a close look at image B as it appears to be the one adding the most "bulk". How is this image different from image A?
General tips re. images:
Save the files a BMPs.
When .jpg image is inserted into Crystal Reports it is converted into bitmap format and as the result of the conversion the report may loose some quality, scale and other issues may arise... E.g.; Crystal Reports is not so good a graphics management tool
When an image is saved as a .bmp, then there is no conversion required and thus the quality of the image should be preserved.
Best practice: save the image with high resolution and required size as a .bmp format then insert this image into Crystal Reports.
Resize the image to the smallest possible size and downgrade the DPI to 72. This will ensure your image is as small as possible and Crystal Reports will have to put in the least amount of work to display it.
Have a look ar KB [1241630 - Exporting a Crystal report (XI) to PDF generates a big PDF file|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233343331333633333330%7D.do]. This KB, may apply to your version of CR, or not. In any case, you will have to use the KB as a guide and determine what the appropriate registry entry would be for your version of CR.
One more thing. Many people like to use jpg files as they are smaller than bmp files. However, as far as Crystal Reports is concerned, this is inconsequential. The report file will be the same size if a file is inserted as a jpg or a bmp. This is due to the jpg conversion to bmp Crystal Reports does internally.

Print to PDF as size A2

I am trying to create a PDF using paper size A2 using Acrobat V9.1 on Windows XP
When I try to select paper size, either in the print properties or acrobat printing preferences (settings -> printers), I don't have any page sizes larger than A3.
If I try to Add a paper size called A2, (Adobe PDF Page Size "Add" button) it says "Not allowed to modify system or printer defined size (A2). Only user defined paper size can be modified or deleted."
If I try to create a new size e.g. "MyA2" with the correct sizes, after I press the "Add/Modify" button, I don't get any warnings or errors, but I still don't have the page size available.
I've looked in the help, and I've searched the forums, but can't find anything. How can I enable the A2 page size that already exists, or how do I create a new one to use?

...so today I contatcted the Adobe support, both via LiveChat and via telephone (the German support in this case).
While the live chat operator took a while to understand what I was talking about, the guy on the phone understood it immediately.
He said that this is a well-known bug of Adobe Acrobat, and he confirmed that right now there is no solution. He said that it might be corrected with an upcoming update... even if the problem is now more than one year old (much more).
The only workaround available at the moment is to create the paper size that you need and name it "Azero" or "Aone".... it's for sure not a reasonable solution in our environment, finding a mixture of workstations working differently, but at least it's a possibility for single users.
It would be also nice if any "Qualified Adobe" user could report here some "official" information about such a bug in Acrobat.
Hoping for a fix coming up...

Reduce PDF File Size - any ideas?

Hi all,
I have a C++/C# programs that generates PDF's in Adobe Reader using Infragistics. This is a recent change from using VS View as our old method of illustrating - we now use Infragistics. This has resulted in our PDF File sizes almost doubling due to us now using Bookmarks within the PDFs and also having to embed the fonts. There are some pictures used but these are already very small so they are not the issue. I was wondering does anyone have any ideas of how we could possibly reduce the size again or any possible work arounds.
Any help would be great.

Where do these EPS files come from Photoshop or Illustrator?
Illustrator
There may be nothing wrong with EPS files technically, they are considered archaic in a modern workflow. Best to save as a .ai with pdf compatible file - or to save them as PDF x4a with Illustrator Editing Capabilities enabled.
But I don't think there's any need to run out and convert all your files - perhaps keep it in mind going forward.
Photoshop
EPS is really not the best format. If it's pure raster then PSD or TIFF would be preferred format, if it's Raster + Vector Shapes, Vector Masks, Text Layers then PDF is preferred over EPS (with photoshop editing capabilities enabled).
File sizes react differently depending on the content on the choice of compression. Heavy Vector files from Illustrator can cause Huge file sizes in PDFs.
See this article (and more importantly the comments!)
http://indesignsecrets.com/creating-smaller-pdfs-from-a-vector-dense-book.php
If you can provide a bit more info on your workflow and what settings you are using to save it would be great.

Two machines saving the same file as different sizes?

My coworker and I both have the same version of Illustratir (CS6) and both use Lion on iMacs, but today noticed something weird. He saved a file similar to a file I had done before as both an eps and a pdf and his file size was more than twice what my file sizes usually are. I thought it was odd, so I copied everything from his file into a new file (same dimensions) and saved out an eps and pdf (default settings), and like I thought, my files were less than half the size of his.
Why would two machines be saving identical files at different sizes? Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? Everything in the file is vector, if it matters. There's not even any editable text.

See the mechanism of saving here: http://superuser.com/questions/66825/what-is-the-difference-between-size-and-size-on-disk
The size of the "blocks" depends on the size of the disk and how it's been formatted.

PDF file size

I have an HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z (Network) that I use at home to scan into PDFs, and I know exactly how to move the slider from "Smallest size" to "Best quality"
However the size of the PDFs are unacceptably large when image quality is acceptable, and if I move the slider to reduce the size then the image becomes unacceptable. It is impossible to scan a legal document of more than a few legible pages without producing a file size too large to email . I am forced to break these scanned documents into 3-4 page bite-sized chunks.
A simple one page HOA Disclosure form, at 220 DPI and the slider in the middle for balance, produces a 699K PDF. I have used other printer scanners at work (different brands) at the same 200 DPI that results in very clear documents at less than 100K per page.
I believe there is something wrong with HP's scan-to-PDF algorithm. The problem must be due to some unskilled (or flawed) software design. What will it take to have HP or third party developer (and developer staff supervision) take this seriously -- compare HP vs other brand scanners PDF files -- and update the HP drivers to fix this?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Just a follow up. I went into chat mode with some low-level tech named Nathan, giving him the link to this thread. After reading it, he suggested I can improve file size by using greyscale and 200 DPI. DUH!!!! I complained he was just humoring me, so he said I should call the tech support number.
I did that next and spoke with a very nice young lady who actually DID take me seriously. I could hear her typing away vigorously in the background, capturing every detail of my plea for this to be forwarded up the chain of command for serious consideration. It was clear she understood and captured from me that there are many forum complaints that can be found with a search term "PDF File Size" that are getting weak or unacceptable "solutions" to push the slider left or use lower DPI etc. She also captured my assurances that some competitor brands produce PDF file sizes 20 times smaller for the same image quality.
I believe that this might actually be opened up at a higher level for consideration of an improvement in the compression algorithm. My fingers are crossed. Since I have about 11 months left for warranty support, I plan to contact them once or twice again before it expires, using the same case number to see if there is any progress.
Bottom line: At my default of 200 DPI and 20% image quality, with an average file size for a single sample page producing a file size of 281KB, a 25-page document creates a PDF file that is 7MB! That will just barely make it past the file size limit for my email provider, but might be too large for the recipient. That is still unacceptable, and is forcing me to consider products other than HP for this business purpose.

Selecting "choose paper source by pdf page size" causes page to print as mirror image thumbnail

Printing from acrobat reader 9.3.4 to a bizhub C220 printer/copier using the postscript driver in XP sp3. when you select "choose paper source by pdf page size" the document prints mirror image as a tiny thumbnail in the corner of the page? We have replicated the problem with different computers and other copier/printers. This does not occur when using the PCL driver. Any ideas?

Do you not get any options after you have selected print
then select Print using System dialogue
which then opend another box , where I select Layout
and can select how I want the document printed.
As you can see I do use an Epson Printer though, but this is the way when using Mac OSX

Acrobat 9 "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" prints as thumbnail

I have a customer who is trying to print a document that has different page sizes, eg. p.1 is 8 x 11, p.2 is 11 x 17. He can select the page size manually and everything works as expected. If you put a check mark in "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" it prints as backward thumbnails on 8 x 11. Selecting "print as image" makes it fill the page, but only prints on 8 x 11. Changing the printer driver to PCL did not fix, nor did installing an updated PS driver. All updates have been installed. I called tech support and they basically just gave me link to the script they use during troubleshooting. I also did a google search, but haven't come up with a valid answer. It is Acrobat 9 Standard on Win XP. Any advice is good advice.

It's a Windows only feature: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332720.html#main_Mixed_sizes

Choose paper source by PDF page size

I print on different sizes of paper. I am trying to get this function to print to the correct tray on our printer, but it is not working. If I print out a legal or 11x17 size document with this option checked, it prints out on letter size paper with a tiny image in the upper left hand corner. Help, anybody? Being able to do this would save me quite a bit of time, instead of having to change the size in the printer properties every time.

A legal sized document should not be printing "in a tiny corner" of a
letter sized paper, no matter what combination of options are chosen.
It might print at the correct size, and be cut off, or be scaled down
to fit; these are the only two proper results.
So, this is probably the thing to fix first.
What happens if you explicitly choose legal sized paper in printer
setup and print the legal sized PDF files?
