Reducing page size of a pdf

I have created a pdf from a multiple page A4 Word doc supplied to me. Is there a simple way to scale the page size from A4 to a smaller size and saving as a new pdf?

First, crop the page according to your need.
Now go to Edit PDF to scale the content.
1. Select "Edit PDF" (Acrobat DC) or "Edit Text & Images" (Acrobat XI) on the RHP.
2. Select All (Ctrl/Cmd + A)
3. Select any of the four corners and drag using mouse with Shift key pressed.

  • 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.

  • Indesign export to pdf. How to reduce page size to 80%?

    When i export from indesign to pdf i have no option to reduce the page size. The pdf i get is then far too big. The thing is that i can not make the indesign document itself smaller since i need it to export it to jpeg too. Is there a way that i oversee? Thanx, Hans

    If you're lucky, you can set a reduction factor in your Print setup dialog -- then you could use Print To File instead, and use the Distiller.
    That would not include any bookmarks or hyperlinks, though.
    Another option could be to create a new document of 80% size, then place your old doc as images into this. A placed ID page can be reduced in size just like a placed PDF.

  • 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)

  • 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!

  • How do i reduce the size of the pdf's scanned from my printer

    i scan from my printer to a pdf.  the file comes across way to big (2mb for 4 pages with no pictures & just text, etc.)  i have already re-set the settings on my scanner / printer to try to get the smallest dpi & image possible.  how do i get to the settings on my adobe acrobat to reduce the size of the pdf when saved on my computer or is this not the right place to do that?

    You may need to reset that to use higher scan quality for successful OCR.

  • Is there a way to reduce the size of my PDF file, created (or I should say, Exported) in InDesign.

    I created a 10-page sale flyer in InDesign CS5 which will be viewed on our website. When I export it as a PDF file, even with the compression at "minimum", the size is still 3.8 MB.
    Is there a way to reduce the size of the PDF file? with InDesign or another tool out there?
    Thanks for your help!

    To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
    Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
    Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

    How can I reduce the size of a PDF in Preview without the pics turning green?

    Do you have to use Preview or would a third party utility like PDFShrink be acceptable?
    (Also look at the Similar Softwar section on that page I linked to.)

    Help.  How do I change the page size of a pdf in MAC?  I have multiple pdf documents in varying sizes I would like to combine and print.

    There's no real need to do that. A PDF can have pages of different sizes.

  • How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

    How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

    I think there may be more to this question than you say.
    If your PDF page is say, 8 x 12 inches, and you found a way to scale it to 25%, changing it to 2 x 3 inch, shrinking everything on the page to quarter size - wouldn't it look exactly the same on the iPhone? It's just going to be the same as zooming.
    Or were you hoping for something more like in Word, where changing the page size keeps everything the same size and spreads it over more pages? That isn't something you can do.

  • How determine page size by opening PDF file in binary mode

    Hi,
    I have to print PDF file but I would like to know the page size of the PDF file.
    What I have to verify (section, parameters) in order to know the page size? (Letter, Legal)
    Thanks!

    And if you multiply the values by (1/72):
    (792 - 0) / 72 = 11
    (612 - 0) / 72 = 8.5
    You may also have to consider rotated pages and not all pages within a PDF will match the size of the first page.
    Using Acrobat JavaScript:
    var nPage = 0;
    var cBox = "Crop";
    var aRect = this.getPageBox(cBox, nPage);
    var width = aRect[2] - aRect[0];
    var height = aRect[1] - aRect[3];
    console.println("Page " + (nPage + 1) + " has a width of " + (width / 72) + " inches and a height of "
    + (height / 72) + " inches");
    Produces the following output on the Acrobat JS debugging console:
    Page 1 has a width of 8.25 inches and a height of 11 inches

    Is there any way to make the page size of a PDF document smaller?  I'm at 30"x36" and want 8.5"x11"

    The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.

  • How to reduce the size of a pdf?

    How to reduce the size of a pdf?

    Not do-able with Reader. Acrobat Pro can reduce PDF file size, but... if it's text only (no media or images) it won't reduce any more than it already is.

  • 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.
