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

Here's two apps you can use or get Apple's iPhoto for the new iPad.

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

Reduce document size of Pages document

I am new to Pages. I created a two-page document with text boxes and four photos. I reduced the size of each photo with the REDUCE IMAGE SIZE button. I clicked on "reduce document size" in the SAVE dialogue. I saved the document in PAGES format and a copy in WORD format.
The resulting document sizes are: Pages 1.6mb Word 168kb. The appearance is exactly the same. There was a message when the Word copy saved that some formatting wasn't saved, but it made absolutely no difference to the appearance and ability to edit and move and delete images in WORD.
I want to save the PAGES documents without all the extra formatting but I don't see a way to do it. I can't see making a library of thousands of documents, each between 1.5 and 2MB when I could have the same library take up 1/10th the space and load more quickly.
I am thinking about getting rid of MS OFFICE and going to iWORK 09 for my business, so this is an important issue as there are eight computers making documents all day long.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply to my question.
The WORD document has been deleted along with all the other "trial" documents. There were too many things I couldn't do in PAGES and NUMBERS that I have taken for granted in Excel and I just can't see going forward without those features.
I think the size of the document was less than 200k in Word... 180 perhaps. I can't recall. But the difference between a few hundred kb and 1.6 mb would add too much overhead when there are thousands of documents to deal with.
Thanks again for your offer of help anyway.

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).

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 to reduced PDF to its smallest possible size for Emails

Hi I'm trying to send a PDF portfolio to prospective employees, however most emails can only send a file no larger than 10mb (which these days is a ridiculous size).
I want to reduce the size of the PDF which is currently at roughly 17mb. I've used the reduce PDF size save option, but only reduces it by roughly 1mb. Is there any other method to really compress the data further??
Cheers,
Mattheus

I agree with TSN. However, reducing the size it typically done with "Reduce PDF Size" or "PDF Optimize" in the Save As menu. If you have included a lot of scans, that is likely your problem. If I was receiving a package so large, I would be having 2nd thoughts about calling one in for an interview unless something stood out big time. It may be that you need to retype some things are such, possibly even reconsider what you include. To you, 10 MB may not seem like much, but to many folks (particularly those who would get a lot of resumes), that is a big file wasting their HDD space. You may disagree, but I am giving you a perspective that I believe many employers might have. Good luck in any case.

Reducing kb size for uploading/emails

Hi there,
I have not had my new iMac long and am still getting the hang of using iPhoto and am a bit of a techno dodo at times.
My problem is that I have no idea how to reduce photos in pixel/kb size for uploading onto the web and for emailing to freinds and family.
I have tried using help but not getting very far.
I know there is probably a very easy answer to this, it is just that I have missed it somewhere.
Thankyou for your help.

What are you using for E Mail? If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto, and that process allows yo to scale the pics.
If you're using anything else, then select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. In the export dialogue you have the opportunity to scale the pics, among other things. Then complete the export to the desktop and upload that copy. After the upload or e mail is finished you can trash the copy on the desktop - your original is safe in iPhoto.

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!

Enlarging/reducing document size when scanning.

Is it possible to enlarge/reduce a document size on the Deskjet 2540? My wife uses that function for her sewing patterns. If not capable, could someone please recommend software?
Thank you,

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
No zooming function, you het 100% (size) of the original when scan. No need to buy any software, you can use Windows Paint to increase/decrease the scanned file.

How to change Default document size for CC Library Graphics (InDesign)

Good morning --
I have just discovered the amazing uses of the CC Library setup in InDesign and would love to be able to use it as a tool to collaborate template galleries amongst coworkers.
I work in an industry that offers many different templates for our Marketing pieces available to the sales team. What we have in place right now is about 50+ different templates in their own packaged files. Now, this isn't all that difficult to maneuver around, but the CC Library has made it so I can "drag and drop" templates into place. This drag & drop feature is easy enough for me to grasp, and with the proper training it should be with the rest of the team (should being the keyword). However, in some cases if you double-click on Library graphic it opens the file in it's own editable file with a custom document size of 8.5x11 Portrait (which I imagine to be the internal InDesign preset).
My questions therefore are when I double click on the library "Graphics" can the document size be anything other than 8.5x11? Can each Graphic have it's own document preset?
- If I open a file that is set for landscape, all of the "Graphic" falls off of the spread.
- Some "eblasts" are much longer than 8.5x11 (sometimes as much as 8.5x20), thus knocking some of the "Graphics" into that weird space area.
Please let me know if I am not being a clear enough.
Thank you!
Steve

@Steve – you are totally clear what you are doing and what you like to do.
But I fear an automatic setting that is creating the page size according to an asset's size does not exist right now.
I can change the size of a new document beforehand, if no document is open and create a new size in the document's properties dialog with the keyboard shortcut alt + cmd + p (in my German InDesign on Mac OSX 10.7.5). But you have to know in advance what size that should be.
Example: If I chose A3 instead of A4 (my default) when no document is open and double click an asset in a CC Library the asset will be placed in a one page document sized A3.

2. Double click and the result is according to the settings I made:

How do I reduce MB size for jpg photos?

How do I reduce the MB size for a group of photos I took. I want to save these reduced photos and send them to a client.

IF you want to reduce just the file size and not necessarily the dimensional size...
Create an action to "Save for Web", and run a batch using that action.
I'll show it on a Mac but it's the same for Windows.
1. Open one photo.
2. In the Actions panel click the menu selector and choose "New Action.
3. Name the action and click "Record".
4. Press Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S to Save for Web (Alt+Cmd+Shift+S on Mac).
5. Select a save destination and then close the file, selecting "Do Not Save" when you do so.
6. Press the Stop button.
7. Click File>Automate>Batch.
8. Choose the parameters for the batch and click "OK"
It'll reduce the file size of the photos you chose.

Should I reduce picture size for iWeb?

The pictures from my camera typically range in size from about 2 to 5.5 MB. Is there some reason I should reduce the size of the pictures before publishing them?

Wyodor,
I assume, from your message, that you feel I'm being lazy. However, that's simply not true. I have no idea how to check these things. I have two web sites--one for my disabled grandson and one for my first grade class. I am a gramma and a first grade teacher. While I do pretty well with my mac, I often need technical help. That's why I am using this forum.
So, if you (or anyone else) is willing to spend a bit of time, here's what I need: I take pictures of the children in my class every day and post them on my classroom website. Their parents love these pictures and wish to download some of them to print. From what I can tell, all the pictures posted on my site are automatically compressed, regardless of the method I used to post them on the page? I did find an option for the pictures to be medium, large, or full size. That would allow good prints after downloading. However, I do not want to set up my web pages in a way that it takes a long time for them to load.
I spoke to someone at school today who thinks that every picture on the web page is greatly compressed, regardless of what size is selected. He is very knowledgeable. If that is the case, there would be no reason not to select the "large" or "full size" selection as it would not slow down the load time. I would appreciate it if someone can confirm this, or explain what will best meet my needs as described above.
Thanks!
