Pdf file (pages template) is too big

I created a newsletter from the "Green Grocer" newsletter template on pages 08. It looks great. I have exported it as a pdf file, but now the file size is 18 MBs and too large for most people to read. It's only two pages. Help! The artwork was not that big to start with. Should I be saving it differently? Eventually I'd like to send it as a mailing with different content every month, so need to solve this.

Use a graphics program like GraphicConverter or Photoshop Elements to reduce the images before inserting them in your Pages document.
I don't notice much quality difference between the three options. I try to reduce the files as much as possible before posting on a web page or e-mailing. The odds are your recipient will be viewing the PDF on the computer rather than printing it. Printing would be more likely to need a higher resolution although I've never gotten any complaints.

  • I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

    I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

    Hi Bill,
    It sounds like your document has a lot of pages and/or images in it.
    Instead of using the normal InDesign > Export command to create a PDF, you may be able to reduce the file size by printing to a PostScript file, then distilling it to PDF using Acrobat Distiller.

  • How does I resize a pdf file page using Acrobat Pro?

    In Acrobat Pro, how can one resize a pdf file page (21.38'' x 26.75'') into one measuring 6'' x 9'', to be submitted as the trim size? Is there a feature that allows this to be done? How does one set all print options from the Application print dialog box to enable one to adjust the dimensions of any customized file page?

    I want to scale the 21.4'' by 26.8'' content down to one that can be fitted inside a 6'' by 9'' book.
    I have this pdf that was created from the InkFlow app, and I'm using Acrobat Pro to merge three files into one (about 300MB), which I needed to submit to Amazon's CreateSpace, but they needed the trim size of 6'' by 9'', while the pdf is 21.4''' by 26.8'', and I can't amend the source file size of the InkFlow files.
    I tried fiddling with the Crop and Print options, but I'm unable to resize the pdf to match the trim size. The problem on my side isn't so much on printing but to resize the pdf file page to 6'' by 9'' to satisfy Amazon's requirement for their trim size. Could this be done with Acrobat Pro? The message that appears is: Full print options of Acrobat Pro, set all print options from the Application print dialog box. Thank for the help.

  • My PDF file appears to be too large/complex to export. Can I split it in some way?

    My PDF file appears to be too large/complex to export. Can I split it in some way?

    Good day Colin,
    In order to split a PDF file, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat. 
    You may want to try turning off the 'Recognize text' option and converting your file again, it may help.
    Kind regards,

  • Urgent - How to add pdf files to template document in multiple sessions?

    Hi, forum!
    VERY new to using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, so I am reaching out for help.
    We have a "template" document with pre-assigned bookmarks.  I need to add multiple PDF files into it, either by inserting pages, adding the complete PDF, and/or extracting pages, then assigning the locations to each individual bookmark.
    The ending page count will be about 300 pages, and there is no way that I can create the complete document in one day or one session.
    A) What is the best way to add pages from multiple PDF files into this "template" document?
    B)  Is there a way to add pages in one session, save it out, then add additional pages to the same output document on a different day, etc., without having to "re-add" the previous pages and until I am done and ready to finalize the document?
    I would really appreciate a fast response, as my new job kind of depends upon me doing this well...
    Thanks and Merry Christmas!

    Thanks, George!
    I will try your suggestion.
    While waiting for a response, I ran into another problem:
    Some of the PDF documents I am to work from are "protected," meaning I can read them but not extract any pages or click to add them to a list of files to import...but I need to extract some or all pages from it.  Any suggestions on this?
    Thanks!

  • PDF file pages missing when viewed in Adobe Reader XI

    Hi All,
    I have been made aware of a recent issue when viewing scanned PDF files in Adobe Reader XI. Pages are missing when the PDF file is viewed in Adobe Reader v.11.0.x though all pages are visible when file is viewed in Adobe Reader 10.1.5?
    I can confirm I have checked Show large images option under Preferences -> Page -> Display, though this doesn't appear to have made a difference. I have been able to replicate this same issue on several other machines.
    All machines checked and tested are running Windows 7 (64-bit).
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Never heard of such an issue.  Can you share such a PDF with the forum?  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

  • Pages are appearing too big in my browser, help!

    Just downloaded my FireFox, opened it up and the pages are too big. I have to scroll around to see the full page of any site. I tried looking through the setting, but can't seem to find anything that fit the bill.

    Hi,
    This is how it looks to me,
    It starts at the top, without any scrollbar. Am I missing anything. Could you please provide a screenshot how it looks at your end, after publishing.

  • Size of exported pages doc is too big to print on normal computer paper

    My mac is at home but I print things at the office on the office printer with a PC. I export in both pdf and word but when i go to print the size of the pictures and wording is too large and it is ballooned out. How can I get a normal exported size so that i can print at the office?

    Set your print to 100%.
    The exported size has not changed, it is what it is, unless you have chosen to print at say 200% in your Page Setup… and surely you would remember doing that?

  • How do I print a pdf file that is printing too light to read??

    I have a pdf that I must print to buy a home.  It will not print as is. I shot screen shots, brought them into Photoshop, made them jpgs and adjusted the gamma to make them very black and white. 
    It helped but the pages cannot be read. There is plenty of ink in the printer.
    I need to send this paperwork tomorrow with a check...
    WHAT TO DO?

    I have this problem as well, prints come too light out of my Brother5370DW and consulted several channels on internet. Printing from pc was never a problem, only from mac: jpgs, tifs, txt, from Preview, Safari, Firefox, Photoshop, Acrobat etc whenever the document it was not full b/w. Especially screenshots from Google maps were just illegible. I just tried to print a pdf with dark grey text, very light as well. Then it ocurred to me to change the color matching profile in the printer's dialogue window: instead of automatic (which is Adobe RGB (1998) by default, I choose Black & White, and finally it prints fine: black what is supposed to be black, idem for dark greys, light greys.

  • Pages' first page "Templates" is too long with buttons inaccessible

    When launching Pages (version 3.0.1), the top page that appears is the template page. It is always too long, going all the way to the bottom of the screen. The choices and buttons at the bottom of the template page are behind the dock and cannot be read or accessed for clicking. I tried hiding the dock and then shrinking the template window upward so that the choices were above the dock, and then showing the dock again. Unfortunately, the next time I launched Pages, the top Template window opened up too long again with the bottom of the page unaccessible behind the dock. This problem does not happen with Numbers or Keynote--the template pages in these applications are always sized just right--above the dock. Any ideas why this is happening and how to permanently fix it?

    I spoke with AppleCare and they said this is a known bug that will be fixed.

  • Exporting files that aren't too big to be able to upload to the web

    I just got a new iMac and want to buy Final Cut Studio 2 for Final Cut Pro 6. My only concern is everytime i've used FCP, the files are always very huge. In the GB range. thats fine when im putting that stuff on a dvd, but now I need to upload those things to the web.
    Is there a way to export projects so they are a manageable size? I know quality will get lost but I want to know if I can export files that I will be able to upload and have people view before I spend a good amount of $$ buying it. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I like my way the best... but only because I like my way the best.
    First, understand that what you are dealing with is an art... compression.
    BUT thankfully Apple sees that my way is the best TOO and gave it to you as a simple option in the export path. (wink)
    SO...
    File - Export - QT Conversion.
    Then,
    FORMAT: QuickTime Movie
    USE: Broadband HIGH
    Then, hit the OPTIONS button and then SIZE. If your sequence is 16:9 change the size to 420x270. If not, leave alone.
    Hit done and export.
    Should come in around 5 megs a minute and look great!
    Good luck,

  • Backup files on PC becomes too big, how to delete files not needed and where to delete them?

    I used iTune to manage iPhone and iPad. iTune will back up content of both devices. I found that recently the backup files become too many and used up a significant amount of my PC harddisk. How do I go about to delete old backup files to release harddisk space? Thanks.

    Backups for iPods, iPhones, and iPads are fairly small in size... 60-70mb approximately.
    I seriously doubt they are filling your hard drive or using a significant amount of space.
    You can remove backups via iTunes
    Edit > Preferences > Devices
    Select the backup or backups and delete them.
    Here's the Apple support article about backups: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • Photoshop: 1GB - TIFF-file of 300 dpi too big?

    I am starting to get grey hair with photoshop...
    I have just bought a new quad core pc with 4 GB RAM, but
    XP SP2 only accepts 3,25 GB. Furthermore I have installed Abode Suite
    CS3 and did all the updates.
    I have to merge 2 TIFF-file and make some corrections, after doing
    this I generated a 300 dpi CMYK tiff-file of 1 GB. At this point PS
    crashes and I can't open the file any more, it blocks when reaching +- 70%
    I have selected to use the maximum memory via Photoshop preferences.
    But is not possible anymore, the only thing I can do is to close photoshop via the task-manager...
    Is there anyone who can help me with this matter?
    I would be very greatful...
    Thx,
    Quincy

    The others have hit on the system and set up issues but I'll a few more
    notes.
    1. If you're working on images this large, upgrade to Vista 64 bit and
    add four more gigs of RAM.
    2. What are you designing for that is creating images that large? For
    the most part, I've found that people creating images that size are over
    doing it with high resolutions using 300 ppi simply because they think
    EVERYTHING that gets printed requires it.
