Publisher image size reduced upon pdf conversion

Last week I submitted a Publisher file of an advertisement for pdf conversion. When I opened the pdf and printed it out, the ad which had been, let's say, 4x7 inches, printed out about a quarter inch smaller in both width and height. When I e-mail it to the magazine publisher, how do they make the image fit the correct ad space? And how can I prevent this change in size next time?

Check your print settings in Adobe Reader. Make sure have page
scaling: none.

Image size difference making PDF's in Bridge

Making PDF's in Bridge on a Mac. The image size I am using is 199 x 300 pixels (5.3 x 8 cm) and when I add a horizontal image to the output preview box, the images retain that size, however, when I add the vertical images to the preview box, although they still show as the same pixels, they display and print at 3.5 x 5.3 cm, much smaller. Need help, please.

however, all the prints need to be the same orientation. Both vertical and horizontal prints appear on the same page.
CS6 has also brought back the old Contact sheet script but I don't think this will do it either. Both PDF output and Contact sheet script are meant mainly for contact sheet use. And both have the boundary box rules as it seems, maybe you should play more with dimensions and rows/columns but I doubt this will give you the result. In older versions there was picture package which maybe was more what you needed?
Don't know why you need them to be the same size exactly? However as said, mainly for contact sheet use and not a sophisticated print module (a wish from many users)

Does reducing image size reduce image quality?

i 'm new to AI and also to this forum.
I know that enlarging and image can reduce image quality.
I'd like to know if reducing the image size (not in pixels, but in actual size),
will reduce the quality?
i have a Ai file that's 600x300, and need to reduce it to 300x120 my websie.
Before I convert it to a web format, I want to reduce this large Ai file to 300x120.
Will i still lose quality even if it's still an Ai file, before converting to web format???
thanks!!!!!

No it is however best to use save for the web to do so for the best optimization.
keep in mind the only lose in quality will be if some one grabbed it off of the website and tried to enlarge it or view it at a larger display size.
What you want to do is the best way of reducing the size.

Image size changing upon saving.

I'm working on digital negatives for school and right before saving the image, it is 8.07M. But after saving the image and looking at the image info, it says 4.9M. Why is it saving my image to a smaller image?

The image size does not change, you're talking about the file size.
And the file size depends on the file type, the contents, the compression options used, etc.

Photo size reduced upon download

Hi,
I took pictures on a Canon Powershot S500 with a 2048x1536 resolution. The image size should be roughly 1 MB but the image sizes are only 50kb after I download the photos through iPhoto. How do I get my original image sizes when I download photos onto my Mac? Any suggestions will be helpful.

Your photos are in iPhoto just fine - you are going directly into the iPhoto library which you should not do - getting the incorrect photo is only a small part of the reason - the larger reason is you are very likely to corrupt your library and lost data
To get the correct version of the photos simply select them in iPhoto and export them - or drag them from the iPhoto library window to a desktop folder, use them and delete the folder

Lumia 720 image size reduced

When I got my Lumia 720 still running on WP 8.1 Preview For Developer (pre-cyan), I took a picture with primary camera and Lumia Camera app, the size was about 2,3 mb. Now I got Lumia 720 upgraded to Lumia Cyan and Preview For Developer (pre-denim), I took a picture again and realized the size was just 700 kb. Can anyone tell me which version of OS that brings this change, or it is because an upgrade on lumia camera apps itself?

Microsoft didn't release the sw to the general public, you must have signed up to the developer preview to get it, in which case you would have accepted notices that it's not yet a commercial release.
Size of the file is not necessarily an issue, it could be that they have improved image optimisation, jpg files saved by late Symbian phones were smaller than Windows Phone images have been. If the dimensions of the image in pixels is the same and there is no drop in quality then you have nothing to worry about.
You might want to check in the camera app's settings in case it is set to a lower resolution than before, in which case you can increase to the desired setting.

I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries)

I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries) & is up to 1.36 GB in size. I have tried reducing file size in preview but the images are unreadable. Any ideas?

WHen I want to reduce the file size, I either use "Optimize Scanned PDF", or more often use "Reduce File Size". Both are on the Document menu. The Reduce File Size selection has some limited customization that is used, when selected.

PDF Reduce File Size makes certain pdfs HUGE

Generally reduce file size works great for me but certain files, those coming from someone using Microsoft Publisher in particular, result in larger pdfs. She sends me newsletters for a website and sometimes the 3 page pdfs are 2-4mb. I tried opening in Preview and re-saving them using the Reduce File Size filter and the result is that they ballon up to 50-100mb!! Info for the file reveals that the pdf producer is GPL Ghostscript 8.15 and the content creator is PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2. I seem to be able to open and reduce file size using Acrobat so I'm not quite sure why Preview is choking on them.

Hi geekinthegarden- This does not surprise me. There are many variations and reiterations in specifications of the PDF format.
Going from Ghostscript language interpreter, to Apple in rendering could introduce complications which we will not be able to sort out in this forum encapsulating a complete description of a fixed-layout 2D documents that includes the text, fonts, images, and 2D vector graphics which compose the documents.
Suffice to say it is not a perfect science.
Print PDF has a compress PDF file option as well as ColorSynch in your /Utilities folder +reduce file size+ option for PDF's. This may or may not be of use.
You found your workaround using Acrobat, this is part of the value of having more than one PDF viewer, good computing!

Poor Image quality upon PDF export

hi,
issue: images lose quality when viewed in PDFs
i've searched/read these and other forums for the past few days and have tried just about every suggestion out there in order to get better quality images in my PDFs and nothing works.. it's as if everyone is talking some theory without actually testing/proving what they're saying.
are pdfs inherently bad at handling raster images?
i have a few 800x1200 px renders (tiffs/jpgs) that i'd like to include in a PDF.. i'm using A4 landscape orientation because when viewed at full size on a 24" monitor, it's the size i'd like it to be (i'm not concerned with printing this pdf.. monitor only)
the images when view full size in the pdf are a bit smaller than viewing the original images full size however, the quality is a lot worse.
honestly, i'll try or retry your suggestions but at this point, i'm more/less looking for an explanation as to why this happens because from what i can tell, it's going to happen no matter what
gracias

Not sure what you are expecting.
well, i'm certainly expecting better quality than what i'm getting..
The jpg is contrasty and it is lower resolution than you need, but you did say that above. Which means I am not looking at what you are looking at.
The color space is srgb and the conversion from the tiff would have reduced the quality a little or a lot depending on your settings.
it doesn't matter if i use the original tiff or the jpg.. for all intents and purposes, let's forget i even have the tiff.. the jpg should look the same in the pdf (imo)
Did you print to pdf or Export? If you exported, did you use "Best" as your setting.
i've done all sort of methods.. but yeah, always at highest quality if said method allows such settings..
It has lost some contrast and is a little blurry. It looks to my eye like the degradation you get from setting the jpeg quality a little low.
well, no.. it has gone from something that is in focus to something that is out of focus.. if i open the jpg in photoshop and do a 'save as' jpg with the quality set to 3 (with 12 being best), i will get similar results as putting the jpg in a pdf.. (albeit, a different type of quality loss but just as bad)
you've seen the comparison but just in case someone else wants to look, check here:
http://homepage.mac.com/jeffhammond/Sites/imgs/origVSpdf.jpg
that's a screenshot showing the jpg on the right and the pdf output on the left (both viewed in preview)..
it's unacceptable.. but like i said earlier, i think this is an inherent aspect of pdfs and i'd settle for a decent explanation as to why it happens..
OSX has some very smart frameworks built in, which do make bitmaps displayed on screen in Cocoa apps look better than they should. Not exactly helpful if you simply want to see it unenhanced.
but still, if that's the case, why isn't osx doing the same thing to the pdf.. (and also, i highly doubt the actual quality of the image is being shown in the pdf but when i view the jpg, i'm being shown an enhanced view to the point of making an out-of-focus image being an in focus image.

How to reduce size or compress PDF files?

Hi guys,
Does someone knows if there is a way to reduce the size of the PDF file with good quality even on Pictures and Scanned documents? I know the option 'export', 'quartz filter' 'reduce size', but the compression is so extrem. Many files can't not been read, the quality is so bad. Is there a additional app, software or extension that let the user play with the compression on pdf files and let it be more personalized like the dopdf V7 available for windows? i am very dissapointed with this. Please help or suggestion. I will appreciate it. Thanks

I have used the excellent PDF Toolkit app for a while, and its preformed well. Occassionaly it makes the document into a negative image...which Im noyt sure why...
Mathishk, im trying your online version out, and am impressed and admire the fact that you have done this.
Well done.
A TRICK i use often. Once all hires images are on the designed document - and its coming in at 15-20mb, just change the link to the images so they are 'missing' then make a pdf.
i.e 'Hi Res images' to HRes images - old'
The screen resolution of images is still great, but file comes in at fraction of the size.
You 'trick' the document to use screen images only. So my 18mb file comes in as 5.2mb.
Just remember to change the images folder name back, so files relink.

How can I reduce the file size of a pdf when exporting?

I don't want to just choose between high quality print or smallest file size.
I want to export it from 60MB to 40MB.
Can I do this manually? When I use smallest file size the quality is too low and the content looks bad.
But high quality print exports my PDF at 60MB which is too big.

You cannot simply legislate the size of a PDF file. If you content is primarily text and vector, there is not much at all you can do to reduce PDF file size other than to cut out content. Otherwise, the only other variables are those of downsampling and compressing the raster images from your content.
You must be very careful in choosing the PDF export settings. The “smallest size” settings yield PDF files that realistically really are not fit for printing and may mess up any CMYK colors. The “high quality print” and “PDF/X-4” settings yield best print output, but yield the largest PDF files since they do less image resolution downsampling and only the maximum quality lossy JPEG compression.
I would recommend that you start with either the “high quality print” or the “PDF/X-4” settings and make a custom set of export settings. Assuming that you aren't going for offset or gravure printing, change the color image and grayscale image downsampling values from 300 and 450 to either 200 and 275 or no less than 150 and 225. If that doesn't give enough file size reduction, change the compression image quality from “Maximum” to either “High” or no less than “Medium.” Beyond these changes, you may end up with PDF files that will neither print nor display with any reasonable quality.

How do you reduce file size of a PDF if Save As doesnt work?

I have been trying to reduce the size of a PDF, using the Save As > Optimized PDF method.
I have also tried Save As > Reduced Size PDF.
This is on a file made up of 20 pages of full page Jpegs. (These were generated by the script in Photoshop that generates Jpeg files from Layer Comps within the document.)
If I use Reduced Size PDF, I get a greatly reduced file size but the image quality suffers greatly. (Lots of artifacts and blurryness)
There are no options to choose the level of compression I want.
If I use Optimized PDF method, I cant seem to reduce the file size no matter what I set the Jpeg compression to.
Is there some way to cut the size of the file down but not lose so much image quality?
Any suggestions?

Part of the problem here is that the files that are produced when I run the script to output files from layer comps are very big.
If I "save for web" for each layer comp, I wind up with way smaller Jpegs. Thus a much smaller PDF.
So the question is: Can you make the script, Layer Comps to Files, create smaller more optimized Jpegs? (Like you get when you save for web)

Reduce image size and print it out?

I scanned an image (coloring on a postcard). This size is too big to fit into a 'album' picture in MS Picture It! All I want to do is REDUCE the image and save it so that it will fit into the computer photo album I'm creating.
I've tried Image/Resize/Image Size and changed the sizing, but it still comes out the exact same size as the original. What am I doing wrong?

> I want to REDUCE the image, not enlarge it.
I understood that - what makes you think I didn't?
> It's 948x645 pixels. I just want the image about an inch (respectively) smaller
You can't think in terms of inches for screen images. You have to work in pixels and the actual size will depend upon the screen resolution on the machine being used to view the image.
I'd reduce the pixel size by about 80 to get the effect that you want. Use Image/Resize/Image Size and make sure that you have "Resample" checked.

Reducing size of a PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro

Hello, I want to reduce the file size of a large number of pdfs which will be available for download on a website I'm building. These pdfs were created a few years ago and in most cases the fonts were converted to outlines. I want to reduce the size of the pdfs using Acrobat 9 Pro. I tried one and the size went from 2.3 Mb down to 156 Kb when I saved as an Acrobat 7. Will these be able to be viewed by anyone using Acrobat Reader. The end users will only be viewing and reading the pdfs. Thanks in advance for any responses.

If you are familar with the PDF Optimizer and how to go to it, open PDF Optimizer.
First images for a website should never be more than 150dpi.
Go to images and set, for DPI 150 for color images Grayscale and Monochrome.
Next open fonts in optimizer and look for duplicate fonts.
example:
Ariel
Ariel Bold
Ariel Bold
Ariel Italic
Courier New Bold
remove the duplicate Ariel Bold.
Many times there are 5-10 instances or more of the same Font/Font style.
Remove all duplicates.
Save as a new file you never want to save over your original in case what you end up with doesn't turn out.
