Reducing size of .pdf image prior to displaying by Acrobat Reader

I scanned a newspaper article to a .pdf file and when Iit was displayed by Acrobat Reader the image was at 290%.  I would prefer a 100% readable image.  Is there an option to reduce the image size to say 100 or 75% prior to displaying it in Acrobat?  Could this be a function best achieved during the scanning process?  If so, how?   I am new at this and would appreciate any advise available.

Try playing with the default layout and zoom settings.
Edit > Preferences > select the category Page Display
In the Default Layout and Zoom pane, you can use the drop-down menus for
Page Layout and Zoom to make selections.
Be well...

  • Reducing size of pdfs

    Please can someone help? I have a new Macbook Pro, I used to be able to reduce size of pdfs on my last Mac, but how do I do it on my new one?
    Thanks

    AFAIK, you have to use a third-party application, such as Adobe Acrobat, to reduce the sizes of PDF files.
    I don't know that Preview can save a reduced file size - Acrobat can. If you want to give it a try, you can download one of the Adobe CS6 packages that include AcroPro.

  • How do I reduce size of PDF?

    The pdf for my community newsmagazne has 16 pages.
    When I send it to the company which prints it, I get the message - PDF is 40.7 MB - exceeds 20.0 MG used by this server.
    Print size is 100%.
    I send PDF as Best - Better is not good enough.
    What can I do?

    Are there a lot of images in the document? If so, are they high-resolution, and used at a smaller size than the original? If so, one way to reduce the file size is to edit the images in a third-party application (such as Photoshop, or one of the many cheaper alternatives), so that the image is re-sized to the dimensions that are used in the document.
    OS X used to have a built-in PDF reduction function in its Quartz filters. This feature was removed in 10.5, but it can be restored by using this software.
    PDF Shrink is a $35 application that will automatically reduce the file size of PDFs (along with many other features). Adobe Acrobat Pro also has a built-in method for reducing file size of PDFs, but that is also an expensive tool that you may not have.
    Do be aware that for the most part file-size reduction in PDFs works by reducing the resolution of images. If the original images are the same dimensions as that used in the final document, then any file down-sizing will involve a compromise in image quality.
    As a workaround, you could also simply burn the full file onto a CD and send that, or use an online upload service like YouSendIt.

  • How to reduced size of PNG images

    size of my application is increases because I used PNG images . Is there any way to compress the PNG images size which will help me to reduce the size of application

    Did you try to save all PNG files in the big PNG file?
    This can help you to reduce size of file header of multiple PNG file.
    however this coz you to change display PNG file process by
    cut from big PNG file instead of read and show from each multiple file.

  • Pdf images won't display

    In many display/annotate apps pdf files will not display images.
    In Adobe's app most images disply properly, but some turn
    into black rectangles.

    Thanks for your response, the thing is I don't want the end user to have to go through these steps in order to be able to see my pdf file as it renders in older versions of Firefox.
    What I've noticed is the use of buttons and interactivity is not been rendered, so it doesn't even show up in the page. The drop shadows applied within InDesign are also not been properly render by the browser, making the background of the image surrounded by dark background.
    I have temporarily fixed the problem by getting rid of my drop shadows and using regular hyperlinks on text instead of interactive buttons.
    Hope this issue gets fixed, since interactive pdfs is widely used today.
    Thanks

  • Reducing size of pdf in OSX Lion

    Ladies and Gents,
    Can you please let me know how I can reduce the size of pdf docs in OSX Lion. I use to be able to save as pdf, open it again and then "save as" with reduce option. In lion it only shows "Save version" instead of "save as". Thanks in advance and regards, Theo.

    Hey, don't lose hope... I found this thread by Jerome Colas, about reducing PDF file size
    Try these steps:
    1. Download the quartz filters made by Jerome Colas LINK
    2. Move the FILTERS folder on your Library folder ---> /YOUR HARD DRIVE/Library/
    3. Open Automator, create Application (Not Workflow!!!)
    4. Search and drag "Open Finder items" to the right
    5. Search and drag "Apply Quartz Filter to PDF Documents"
              - when prompted "This action will change the PDF files passed into it.  Would you like to add a Copy Finder Items action so that the copies are changed and your originals are preserved?" Click Don't Add
    6. From the Filter drop down, select Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION
    7. Save it to your Desktop.
    8. To resize PDF, just drag the PDF file over the Automator Application you saved on your Desktop.
    Your PDF file size is now reduced, without compromising the quality!
    Thanks to Jerome Colas for the wonderful quartz filter!

  • Reducing size of PDF not working

    Does anyone know why when trying to reduce a PDF by selecting Save As then choosing Reduced Size PDF wouldn't work on certain documents.  I did several PDFs and it worked fine.
    I have a bunch more that are over 1 MB and are too big to be emailing so I need to make them smaller.  Some appeared to work but the size didn't change others I get a box that pops up with a Conversion Warning... An error was encountered while saving the document.
    Thanks

    Try File menu >Save As... > Otimized PDF
    When Optimizer open click Fonts Tab.
    See how many copies of each font style (Bold. Italic, Bold Itallic, etc) yu have.
    Remove all copies except one (example if you have 5-6 copies of Helvetica Italic which is frequently Possible) remove all copies except one.
    I seen cases in PDF I have created where had as many as 6-7 copies of the same font version in the same PDF and maybe multiple font versions  often reducing the size by as much as 75%. (Not usually But havehad  it happen.)
    Also click on the Tab for pictures unless you plan on printing a business report, 200dpi/ppi is the most you should use.
    Save as a slightly different version. Open new version and check the size.

  • Create PDFs that can be edited in Acrobat Reader?

    All,
    Is it possible to create a PDF (designed in Indesign CC 2014/Mac, and exported as PDF in Acrobat Professional XI) that is then a) editable in Adobe Acrobat Reader XI (11.0.09) and b) is of the quality and has fonts embedded to act as a print quality PDF?
    We seemed to have achieved this last year in a somewhat cumbersome manner but now on repeating the same process (Comments) Adobe prompts you to upgrade to Professional. Have features been disabled? Is there a way of doing this still? An efficient way?
    We are trying to create a series of advertisement templates that the client can just edit certain text in.
    Adobe, if you are listening... in the absence of not being able to email you directly, please help us out!

    1. My mistake, for clarity the Client needs to edit the text in Adobe Reader XI (11.0.09).
    2. I know that, but Client is insisting and I am looking for a definitive answer to end the matter
    3. Yes I know, however we have advert templates that may contain a headline such as 'Property For Sale in <xxx> Area' and body copy that says: 'Thinking of selling your <xxx> Area property? Then contact your <xxxxx> branch...' (with <xxx> indicating areas the client needs to input text into a print-ready PDF in the correct embedded font, styled as per the brand guidelines (font size, font, font colour, justification) in Acrobat Reader XI (11.0.09).
    4. That's what I thought, RE typographic control. To be clear by using the forms method it is not possible to style type? Nor is it suitable for high quality printing output?
    5. This is an interesting point as yes our Client would need to save the files they've edited in Reader, so what issues would be faced?
    6. We tried making the text editable whilst retaining the typographic style via Comments, but it involved exporting and drawing individual text boxes in a manual way.
    I have suggested the Client upgrades to Acrobat Professional, besides that what would you suggest?
    Much appreciate your support,

  • How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

    Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
    I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
    I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
    How do I do this.
    Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
    Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
    thanks in advance for your help.
    Amy

    I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
    Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
    Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
    or
    File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
    Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
    When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

  • How do I add pages to a PDF in the iPad version of Acrobat reader

    How do I add pages to a PDF in the iPad version of Acrobat reader

    You don't.
    Adobe Reader is a reader application. You can't use it to do editing.
    If you have Adobe Acrobat on Mac or Windows, you can add pages.

  • Links in pdf file not working properly (in Acrobat Reader)

    Hello everybody
    I'm converting a book I wrote from mobi to pdf with Calibre. While formatting the document, I used some html, including a few links between different parts of the same document.
    However, when I test the pdf document in Acrobat and I click on links, they always send me about a page before of what I marked with the a name attribute... This doesn't happen when I try the book on the calibre pdf reader...
    I've been looking around but can't find why. I've checked my book on mobi, and everything is OK there. This only seems to happen on the document itself on with the way Acrobat reads it.
    Any ideas or explanations?
    Thanks!

    You might want to check with Calibre about the issue. If you had Acrobat you could reset the bookmarks. Since Adobe created the initial PDF document standard, I have seen this in PS files where bookmarks were placed on a page before any content was placed on the page. The bookmark was in the limbo area were a page might not exist if no content were added to the page.

  • Can I save an open PDF file as a .jpg using Acrobat Reader?

    Is there some kind of ad-on or other (third party?) program which would allow Acrobat reader to save or convert a PDF to a JPG?  I have the full version, along with Adobe Creative Suite, so I know I can do it with those programs.  This is for a friend with whom I share files and he only had the Acrobat Reader.
    Thanks

    No, Adobe Reader can only save as a text file, or using ExportPDF as Word or Excel documents.
    However, use Google to find many free PDF conversion tools on the Internet.

  • Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

    We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
    Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
    But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
    The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
    We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
    So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

    This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

  • Image Mask Error Message when Reducing Size of PDF

    With my Mac, I embed jpg images in Microsoft Word documents, save them as pdf's, and reduce them. Size reduction often fails, with the error message "The PDF document contained image masks that were not downsampled".  Jpegs don't have masks, so I have no idea how to fix this problem, and an extensive google search was of no assistance.

    Use PNG images instead use an application such as Graphics Converter, Fireworks to convert to .png from .jpg.
    Will have much better images that do not degrade each time they are opened and most often they end up being same size than jpeg's
    Jpeg unless you save as a special type is a Lossy format and each time is open (and decompressed) then closed (and then compressed) losses detail
    Just open and magnify a jpeg after its been open 5-20 times you notice an out of focus halo looking similar looking to water spilled on paper wil pen ink on it. And it get progressively worse. PNG on the other hand is not lossy and if the original is saved as png never degrade even when reduced in size or or expand within reason in size.  I've being dealing with photos screenshots, images and other for years. Despite what other may say on this list may say if you want an image with little trouble for years of service save as png.
