Reduce pdf size for Livescribe files

Does anyone have Livescribe for Mac? I am trying to reduce the pdf size of these files once I convert, and having no luck with ColorSync filters.
Any help would be appreciated!

When you have those scanned documents in the computer, and choose
Print> Save as PDF> what size file(s) are generated at the page level?
This may reduce files size from that of the original scan, since it would be
using a print alternative to 'save as pdf' instead of printing the file. Since
the system's Preview application as well as Adobe Reader can open the
print> save as pdf> files; you can check to see if this makes smaller pdf.
You could also set the defaults so screen-shot captures are .jpg and then
check their per-page file size to compare the difference. Perhaps one of
these methods could result in a way to send a smaller file of the content.
The .jpegs could be combined in a folder to be sent as a .zip attachment.
I've used OnyX to change the default screen capture to jpg from png; so
all screen shots (command shift 4, or 3) will make jpegs automatically.
There used to be some good freeware tools to change .PDFs, but the
ones I'd tried some years ago are either extinct or cost real money...
Good luck & happy computing!

I want to reduce pdf size up to 5mb for mailing perpose, anybody have any option to reduce it since I have used optimiser & reduce file size option but its not helpfull.

The optimizer can reduce space, but some things can't get smaller. Text for example. Play with the settings, examine the results of Audit Space Usage.
Or give up. Even 5 MB is too large for a bulk mailing, by far. Instead put it on your web site and mail a link - done!

I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro. The application keeps timing out and at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes. The document is 275 pages. Is there something I can do to stop this?

Hi Ricci,
Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

I am shooting with a Nikon D60 on Fine Format and unable to print larger than 11x14. I have been able to print larger pictures. I am told iPhoto reduces the size of the file when uploaded. Is this true? If so how can I change this? I need 16x20's

Can I change iTunes & iPod display font (not font size) for selected files only?

I loaded a Russian classical music CD into iTunes and iPod. On the original CD, titles, names etc. are written in cyrillic alphabet. Once I loaded the CD into iTunes and on iPod this info was displayed unreadably in western alphabet. Example: "Èæå õåðóâèìû..." (Í. Ãîëîâàíîâ)Õîð È.
I have cyrillic font on my Windows 7 computer. Can I change the display font--for only these selected iTunes music files--to the cyrillic font? Thanks!

Does any one know how you can adjust the font size (point size) for the file
names.
Sadly enough you can't chance that, feel free to add a feature request for
that, the more there ask for the bigger chance it will be realized.
It would be great if the colors for the image name (background and font color)
could be changed so the contrast could also be increased so it is also easier
to read.
And this the cheerful part, go to Bridge preferences General tap and play
with the sliders for user interface and Image Backdrop until your satisfied.
BTW using the slider for thumbnail size bottom right of the Bridge window to
increase the thumbs does not increase the font but makes it nevertheless a
little clearer.

How to increase page size for balance file upload in Workspace.

Hi All,
Please suggest how to increase page size for balance file upload in shared Workspace pages.
Thanks,

A word of caution is in order regarding changing from facing to non-facing and back again. If you have overridden master page items, you'll get a second, non-overridden copy on all the even-number pages when that half of the master page is re-applied. This applies to master text frames which override automatically when text flows into them as well as to objects you manually override. I think you'll find this particular technique also only works for master text frames, whereas the Layout Adjustment should work in all situations where frames snap to guides.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

How can I reduce a fotobook pdf size for online printing

Hello aperture,
I have been creating a large customer book (33 x 28 cm) with aperture.
I'm working with RAW datas and the fotobook has got around 150 pages.
My online printing office accepts only PDF X3 2002 datas and I can get this with adobe acrobat X Pro.
I print the book in aperture an save it as an Adobe PDF and than, I can save the datas as a PDF X3:2002. It works perfectly.
My problem is that the online printing office accepts only 2 GB and my pdf, which I've printed with aperture, has got around 7 GB.
What can I do in aperture to reduce the pdf size and get a smaller one?
My aperture settings for Export is: 300 dpi.
Thanks for you help,
Best
Andrea

Actually in LR4 and Camera Raw 7 in Photoshop CS, you CAN create a downsampled DNG by using the Lossy Compression method of converting to DNG. In the LR 4 Export, select DNG then you have the ability to specify long dimensions or the size in Megapixels. Note, a Lossy DNG isn't un-demosiaced, it's been demosiaced but is still stored in Linear Gamma, so it's like a partially baked file, not a true unbaked raw file.
Note, in Camera Raw 7 when you set up your save dlog, it's a bit different. You select Lossy DNG and then have a dropdown for size presets...
Couple of things about the Lossy DNG, you SHOULD name it to distinguish between the downsampled DNG and your original DNG...you don't want to get into the situation where you overwrite your original. Also note that some things won't work totally as expected. For example, sharpening and noise reduction will be working but on a downsampled file. While the numbers will correlate, the actual effects will be a bit different because it's a downsampled file and more prone to potentially over sharpening. It all works, and the controls will work fine if you work at 100% zoom, but don't expect the high resolution your original file had.

Reducing pdf size: How can I reduce a pdf document for MAIL?

I am having trouble getting a mail pdf attachment to be accepted by my server. I am looking for a way to reduce the digital size of the pdf (report) so that it will be a size acceptable to my server (tds). How can that be done? What steps should I take?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The Quartz Filter in Finder might help.
Open the pdf file in Preview.
Then File, Save As, (Format PDF) checkmark the Quartz Filter, and select Reduce File Size.
In my test example, a 4 page .pdf file of a newspaper article including lots of text and two large color photos was reduced from 573KB to 147KB.
But do test the results first, by giving the test file a new name instead of saving 'over' the original.
The text remained sharp, but the included photos became noticably pixelated at 100% size.

Reduce PDF size by flattening InDesign file??

i have a 68 page catalog design in InDesign. i export as PDF/X-1a:2001 for printing. it comes out as 96MB and the printers site wont accept it. so they are telling me to flatten the images and layers in the PDF. I thought that type of PDF already does flatten everything so im not sure what they are talking about. Another project i worked on the transparencys were not coming through right to the printer, they also asked me to flatten the transparencies. but that i did in photoshop before bringing it into InDesign. This catalog file im on now... there are a ton of images and it wont take forever to flatten every image and re-place in InDesign. is there a better option to reduce the PDF size but still keep high quality for print? Thank you.

There are several different, and contradictory, meanings of "flatten" so it's on order to ask exactly what kind of flattening they want and what tools to do it with.
One meaning of "flattening" is to flatten transparency, turning it into images or composite shapes.
Now
1. This sort of flattening almost always makes things bigger, not smaller - if there is transparency in the first place.
2. When you save as PDF/X1-a or PDF/X-3 it will always be flattened; that's the rules.
3. So the choice of PDF/X-1a forces flattening and often makes files much bigger.
Do the printer require PDF/X-1a?

Reducing PDF-size: automatic reduction of datapoints that are used to draw lines in a 2d-axis system within report

Creating fancy pdf-files for costumers and other purposes is great. However, if the experimental data include many datapoints (>200000) a line-2d-graph ends up in a very big pdf-file. Especially when many pages need to be used.
Explanation:
When I use lines to show experimental data in 2d-plots the size of my PDF-file is directly influenced by the number of datapoints used. The more datapoints are used to draw lines within the graph, the bigger the exported PDF-files of the report are.
It would be great to limit the number of points used to draw a line as it can be done with markers without using the curve transformation option. - Hence, e.g. plotting a line with the help of 200 datapoints is usually as good as showing the same line based on 200000 datapoints but the pdf-size is significantly reduced. You can imagine that when this would be done via the transformation option a long lasting script would be needed for each line to reduce the number of datapoints shown. Hence, the plotting within the report and the actualisation of data would need very long.

Since a while DIAdem optimizes the size of exported PDF-files in a related way as it is suggested here. In principle the PDF-file is exported in a very high resolution, so you can display it in a reader with a very high zoom value (e. g. 6000 %) to look into details of your data. If you have a huge dataset, this could lead in fact to a bigger file size, if data points could be displayed because the high PDF-resolution. But in general, DIAdem only saves information in a PDF-file which is really necessary - but with a high resolution.

Reduce PDF size

How can I reduce the size of my pdf? The reduce size option is grey out, is there any other way to reduce a large pdf?

Were the versions split up @ version 6 Bill ? I stand to be corrected if so; but my memory serves that this wasn't until version 7 ...
Update: You're correct Bill and I stand corrected ! However both versions have the optimzer, yay ! Source via Planet PDF. Apparently it's called "Reduce File Size" in the Standard version.

Text displacement in Reduced PDF Size in Adobe Acrobat X

why there's text displacement whenever I reduced file size in Adobe Acrobat X even going from File menu - Save as - Reduced PDF Size

Never seen a displacement. Would it be possible to post screen shots of before and after to point to what you mean.

[CS4-CS5] Is this a safe way to reduce pdf size?

I've had a couple of similar requests this week from clients: "Could you send us a smaller version of the pdf, so we can email it?" As these files weren't going to the printers, I played around a bit in Indesign and Acroba to find a solution. I know about reducing image resolution, but as these jobs had almost no bitmaps in them, so that wasn't an option.
I did notice that the pdf document overhead numbers were ridiculously high, up to 80% in one case. I tried various things, but the most effective way to educe this was by saving the pdf as a postscript file and then distilling a new pdf from it. It worked like a charm, but I'm left wondering what caused the high overhead numbers in the first place, and what happens 'under the hood' in that postscript round-trip.
Also, is this at all safe to do? I didn't notice anything out of place in the new file - it certified ok as well, but is this something to avoid or not?
Thanks for any light on this issue.

If you have a modern Acrobat, you could also check with Advanced -> Print Production -> PDF Optimizer; then, in the dialog that pops up select the "Audit Space usage" button. For a fair comparison you would have to do this with your original exported PDF and with the distilled version -- and note the numbers down or take a screen shot, because Adobe didn't think you'd want to select this as text ...
Are you saying you would feel safe sending such a reduced file to press?
Ha hum. Your new files got way smaller, beyond a fairly reasonable amount. Are you sure you didn't downsample any and all bitmaps to screen rez?
You are right, given these differences I'd send the larger file to print. But I imagine your client is going to be impressed by your compression technique.
