Reducing Book PDF for Email

How does one go about reducing a book for email purposes?
I have a 22 page book I'd like to email to a client for proofing. However, it's 140 meg and I really need to get it down to a smaller file. I did find one post on using Colorsync and reducing the size of the PDF. However, the resolution is extremely low, too low for any proofing. (Also, I wasn't sure if I wouldhave to reduce each page of the PDF.)
I also used the Preview>Print>PDF Compression. However, it's still too large of a file.
I figure someone on the forum has had the same issue.
Thanks.

What about uploading it somewhere they can download it... like an iDisk or something? Email isn't the best option for really large files. Not sure you're going to get a 22 page book down to 5 MB and have it be reasonable quality for proofing.
Basically, you're saying you want to drive from LA to NYC, and you need to be there in 6 hours. No-can-do, you need to find a different solution (i.e. iDisk or FTP server).

Multiple billing documents into one PDF for email

We have a business requirement to email invoices to customers with one email, one pdf. Our current email solution utilizes the Esker software and results in one email per invoice when we run RSNAST00 for transmission medium 5 nightly, which really irritates our customers.
Is there anyone out there who knows how to configure or program so the customer gets only one email with one pdf? We have been told this is possible using Esker Deliveryware rules but would prefer a solution inside SAP if possible.
Thanks in advance!
Amy

Hi Amy
You can create a custom program which can do this using ABAP Development. The program will call a smartform and print all the invoices for the customer created during the day as continuous pages. (You should then remove the configuration for the output type already configured using NACE)
The program can be scheduled to run daily.
You could use the settings in SCOT to configure default file format as PDF for all smartforms.
...please.
with kind regards

Merging numbers documents into single PDF for emailing

I have 23-50 numbers documents (invoices) that I want to send as one single PDF (to save time).
When I select them all in Finder and open in Preview they are not full size and are rotated the wrong way.
When I open them seperately in Numbers and cmd P they show up fine covering the whole A4 paper and are rotated correctly.
Is there any way of sending multiple Numbers files as one PDF, or separate PDFs without having to open each one and Cmd P > PDF and drag/drop into Mail??
Trying to save time, as we have 23-50 of these every week to do!
We don't want to save them as PDFs as we create the documents as this takes up space on the computer - and there's loads of them!
Hoping someone will know the answer.
Thanks for taking the time to help

Hi again mm,
Use a master document in Numbers to temporarily hold copies of each invoice, each on a separate Sheet.
As you complete each invoice, copy that table and then go to the temporary master document. Add a new Sheet and delete the default table that appears. Paste the new invoice. If the invoice has formulas, Menu > Edit > Paste Formula Results (because in Numbers, the formulas will not link back to the original document).
When you are ready to email this master document, Menu > File > Print... and in Print Preview panel on the right > Print All Sheets:
Click on the Print... button (it won't print yet). Bottom left of the print dialogue choose Save As PDF
That is the PDF for you to email and then delete. *
I tried this with an "invoice" on each of two Sheets. Not tried with 23-50 invoices .
Regards,
Ian.

HT2486 Address Book Groups for emailing

I had groups that worked Back in December '11 (for emailing) and now they don't, and haven't for a few months. It's driving me crazy. Anyone have any ideas of what might have changed in the meantime? I'm using iPad 2, iPhone 4Gs, and a new desktop Mac. All software is up-to-date.
Thanks!

Had the same problem, went crazy over it... I don't believe how simple it was to solve : once you created your adress group in adress book, you have to QUIT mail and QUIT the adress book. Once you reopen Mail, it will work... But you might not be able to have more then 25 members in your group, the adress must all be good, and some mail server will want you to put yourself in the "to" field and your group in the BCC field.
At least, that works with Lion 10.7.5.

Reducing photo size for email

I'm stumped ... how do I reduce the size of photos for e-mail?

If you are using a client supported by iPhoto you simply select the photo(s) and click email - one of the options is JPEG compression and another is photo size
If you are using Apple Mail then you have a second selection available in the lower right hand corner of the mail create window
If you are using a non supported client including a web browser then you must export the photos first reducing them as part of the export process

Reducing document size for email

Hi, I am trying to send an email attaching 15 pg doc. It keeps rejecting saying file is too large. Can I put all 15 pgs in 1 attachment (currently 15 attachments) and reduce the size somehow so it goes through?

iPhoto does not work on photos that are not in its database
in iPhoto you can select a photo and click on mail (if you have configured your iPhoto preferences for your mail client) and select actual, large, medium or small as the size to mail - if you are using the mail program there is a similar menu in the lower right hand corner of the compose window
If none of those options work in iPhoto you can export (file menu ==> export) and set the exact pixel dimensions you want - for "good" quality I would want at least 200 dpi so the resulting JPEG would need to be at least 1600 x 2000 and 2400 x 3000 would be better
I certainly would use a JPEG rather than a TIFF to get the best quality relative to the size
TIFFs give a small quality improvement for a large size increase

How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
Best luck.

How do I reduce the file size of a pdf to email?

I have a 260 MB pdf file generated from Photoshop 6. I can't seem to reduce the size in Photoshop. Is there anyway to reduce the pdf outside of Photoshop? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Scott,
That's a pretty big PDF! You'll have to reduce it pretty dramatically to attach it to an email. But, you can use Acrobat to reduce the file size. Please see this video for pointers: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-compress-a-pdf-file
If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,
Sara

Reducing PDF file size or Optimizing PDF is the feature that is supported only by Acrobat Pro (desktop app that is not free).
Optimizing PDFs (Acrobat Pro)
Free Adobe Reader products (Reader XI desktop, Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, Reader Touch for Windows 8, etc) do not offer the capability.

When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

I clicked on a link in an email that may be spam/phishing. How can I scan my mac book pro for viruses?

You can just download the free ClamXav and scan your entire drive - but as there are no known viruses for OS X (although there is malware - see Thomas Reed's excellent Mac Malware Guide) it's very unlikely that you have a virus.
The best source against malware is OS X itself and common sense. Don't click on links in suspicious emails and be careful of anything that wants to install something on your computer that is not from a reputable source.

Poor image quality in pdf for Aperture book

Can anyone tell me how to retain the quality of original images when I export to PDF for book production in Aperture?
I am trying to produce a book with 11 pages, in large soft back format. Most of the images are black and white, and all are PNGs. Individual files size are typically 12MB - 20MB, and the longer side of the images is mostly over 5000 pixels. They all look very clean and crisp full screen in Aperture, and there are no warning triangles in the page make-ups to highlight any instances of poor resolution.
I’m producing the PDF, via ‘Print’ > ‘Save as PDF’. The resulting file is 2.6MB.
Viewed in Preview, some of the images in the PDF superficially appear to be OK. Some are not - and are very indistinct. Zooming in on the images in Preview shows that very few are useable.
I produced a colour book, with larger pages last year and was very happy with both the PDF and the finished book in print. Some example file sizes from that one were: 15.3MB (3950x2633) and 9.30MB (2880x 1920).
I had expected the black and white images to work even better.
What am I doing wrong here?
I'm using Aperture 3.2.1 on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8.

I just remade the same book - as a test - in the extra large hardback format (ie. the one I used for the previous publication, last year).
This time, the pictures are fine. The images appear to be the same quality in the PDF as the originals - much, much better. The size of the file has increased massively too > up from just 2.6MB to 52.8MB.
So does the books production function work well only with the biggest, most expensive option?
I'd really appreciate some feedback from anyone who's tried the different sizes, and preferably some brilliant ideas to make them all work equally well.
