Reducing PDF form file size

When creating the dynamic PDF form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.x, the file size is < 200K. When opening in Acrobat 9 Pro and extending to Acrobat Reader, the file size > 1.2MB. Is there any way to reduce the file size?
Thanks!

Are you using any font's other than the standard ones (aka base-14)? The standard ones are Helvetica, Times, Courier (including four variants of each), Symbol, and Zapf Dingbats (Adobe Pi is the replacement).
If that's not it, do a Save As, as opposed to just a Save. This will rid the document of unused objects that accumulate each time you save.

  • How to reduce PDF Form file size?

    Hello
    I have a PDF that is 22KB without form fields, but once I add the fields to the form, it increases the size to a huge 528KB.
    There are 5 or so text fields, one digital signature, and 14 different 'Radio Button" categories.
    Is there any way to still ensure the form works as I need it too (ie. I don't want to get rid of any fields, and I don't want to change radio buttons to check boxes or anything), but reducing the size of the file??
    Thank you

    Hi Bill,
    It sounds like your document has a lot of pages and/or images in it.
    Instead of using the normal InDesign > Export command to create a PDF, you may be able to reduce the file size by printing to a PostScript file, then distilling it to PDF using Acrobat Distiller.

  • When converting a .pptx file of 6MB to .pdf, the file size ballooned to 25MB. The original file was created on a PC. What happened? Why? How to fix? Thx.

    Nothing much. Different formats.
    How to fix?
    Try editing the original file. Resample pics to a lower resolution, check out other graphics, check table borders (eliminate any dotted lines or borders), check font usage. When generating PDF, try Save As (instead of Print > Save As), although I don't expect that'll make much difference.
    Next, open the PDF in Preview, choose File > Save As, choose Format: PDF, Quartz Filterz: Reduce File Size. If that isn't enough, you can use ColorSync Utility to duplicate the Reduce File Size filter, and then edit it for a more aggressive size reduction. But keep in mind that size reduction means lower quality.

  • Export to PDF (smallest file size) is giving me a very large file

    Hi all,
    I got 2 document with around 100 pages (same size), with a picture or two in each page.
    I've been using the Export to PDF (smallest file size) and export it.
    first file became 5MB, which is fine
    second file became 30MB, this is much too much.
    I have used the exact same setting for both files and have no idea why the big difference between them.
    The only difference between them is that first file contains CMYK photos, and second one - RGB.
    Can this be the difference?
    Any suggestions?
    thanks,
    shlomit

    That's certainly part of the difference. Additional font information if one of the documents uses more fonts or additional glyphs could be some of it, too. Swatches and styles might also be a factor. Vectors don't compress like bitmaps, either.
    Have you opened the optimizer and done a space usage audit to see what is taking up all the space? Did you do a Save AS before export?

  • Getting adobe form file size at run time

    hi,
    ya i need the adobe form file size at run time. my requirement
    is to get xstring and file size of the adobe form. adobe form format is already in xstring format, but how to get the file size.

    Hi,
    try the following:
      DATA lv_file_content TYPE xstring.
      DATA lv_file_size    TYPE i.
      lv_file_size = XSTRLEN( lv_file_content ).
    This will give you the file size in Byte. For KB, just divide by 1024, and once more for MB.
    Kind regards
    Ole

  • I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages)

    I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages).
    I know the colour graphic shading in the document that causes the issue of larger file size, but it doesn't make sense that printing 1 additional page with same information as first 2 pages would cause this.

    My AI file size was not going under 1 MB even by deleting extras so what I did is I opened a raster small image of 100 kb with Adobe Illustrator. then deleted the image and saved the file as AI. Then I Copied the whole vector content of original AI file that was bigger then 1 MB with ctrl+c command and pasted it in the new file created with raster image. and saved it. Wow the new file size is only 137 kb now.

  • How do I reduce a Pages file size so I can create a pdf for e-mailing?

    I recently upgraded from Tiger to OS X Leopard. In Tiger, I was able to reduce file size and create a 700 to 800kb file by going to print/color sync/quartz filter/reduce file size/save as pdf. But in Leopard those options can't be accessed from my pages print menu. Any suggestions? Thanks TH

    Hi t.h.leeds,
    Welcome to Pages discussions.
    Another way to reduce the PDF files size is: Print > PDF, Compress PDF. As I create a PDF for e-mailing that's what I do, works well. 99.99% of folks don't print PDF's, they either file in a folder or delete. Viewing on their monitor that Compress PDF appears as it should.
    A side note; by using this discussions Search feature in the box that reads "Search Discussions more Options" you could have found the answer to your question. Doing that would be faster than awaiting for an enduser as yourself to respond.
    These Discussions are user helping user, not Apple employees answering the question. Questions will be answered when a user such as yourself finds time, desires to, knows the answer along with the time to respond.
    Again, welcome to Pages Discussions, have fun here.

  • LifeCycle PDF form = small size, Acrobat PDF extended to READER = LARGE SIZE

    When creating the dynamic PDF form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.x, the file size is < 200K. When opening in Acrobat 9 Pro and extending to Acrobat Reader, the file size > 1.2MB. Is there any way to reduce the file size?
    Thanks!
    -JoeF

    >. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result
    That's correct.
    >but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!?
    LiveCycle Reader Extensions is a product. You buy it. Note that the
    price is "on application" and varies with your company's needs, but is
    typically either tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is to
    offset the "lost sales" of Acrobat which people would otherwise have
    to buy to save forms.
    > I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability
    There are many products with LiveCycle in the name from Adobe. That's
    a different one.

  • PDF gaining file size when "optimizing"

    I have a PDF that I'm trying to reduce the size of, the original size is around 6 MB, when I have "optimized" the size actually increased anywhere from 9MB to 15MB. There were a few attempts that I do get it to a lower size, but along with that there are missing letters and font issues. I've attempted numerous processes, but can't seem to find one that works. Any suggestions on a fail-safe way to do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
    j o s e f

    Getting rid of fonts is a bad idea if you are making it a web document. However, you could subset the fonts. You might also try FILE>Reduce File Size. There are a lot of options in optimize and you may need to play with those a bit. Bill

  • How to reduce image's file size in Preview?

    I am in Preview Version 5.0.3 (504.1).  I have a PDF file that is 3.7 meg. in size.  That is a big large for what I want to do with it.  I would like to reduce its size to something a bit more manageable.   The Preview Help gives these instructions:
    To reduce an image’s file size without changing its dimensions:
    Choose Tools > Adjust Size.
    Select “Resample image.”
    Enter a smaller value in the Resolution field.
    My problem is that in my open window for this file the "Adjust Size" tool is dimmed.  I cannot choose that tool as instructed.  
    Does anyone know why and how to get Preview to reduce the size of a PDF file?

    try File-Save As...
    & choose format:pdf    quartz filter:reduce file size
    pick another name to check the results - there's no undo

  • Does publishing as PDF increase file size? Is there a way to manage this?

    I am looking for any ways to reduce file size of presentations. We have to publish as PDF for single file purposes. I know you can change settings in Presenter publishing, but does publishing as PDF have any affect on file size and if so, are there ways to reduce file size?

    My Mac has 4 mail accounts coming into it, but you are correct, one of them is a POP account, (and unfortunately it is the main @ account, and is the one associated with my apple id, since we've had it for years).  I couldn't figure out how to replace this with the Imap version, short of deleting that account entirely. 
    Is this what I have to do? 
    Thanks for your help!

  • Adding Bates numbers to PDFs increases file size by 10x - How to keep original size?

    I have a lot of email texts that I converted from Word to PDF and then Bates numbered.
    However, Bates numbering made each email's file size go from about 50kb to 500kb.
    Once I combine these larger files for uploading to a docket, at the maximum allowable file size is 4 Mb, I can put together only 8-10 emails at a time.  What to do to keep the original file size small when Bates numbering?

    Hi paulu40695891,
    Yes, there is a significant increase in the file size when one applies bates numbering to the pdf and saves it.
    A workaround for this issue would be to save the pdf file again as reduced size pdf. (File -> Save as other -> Reduced Size PDF. )
    Does that helps with your issue? Please revert back for any further query or assistance.
    Regards,
