Reducing the size of fillable pdf

I’m creating fillable forms in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. There are about 14 forms and each file is about 300kb, in toal the file size is around 4.10mb. I would like to be able to send the file by email but I’m worried that it would be too big, is there a way to reduce the file size of fillable forms without losing the quality?
Thank you.

Done!
Thank you so much!

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.

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.

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.)

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 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 to reduce the size of a PDF file from a 10.26 MB to a 2.0 MB?

I have save my file using Adobe and converted it to a PDF file size 10.26MB but the file is too large....how do I reduce the size of the file to upload to a website?. It needs to be PDF size 2.0 MB

The free Reader can do nothing to shrink the files. Acrobat can reduce them somewhat but I think that not to the extent that you want, although it can also separate them in smaller files. Depending on the specific files, it may be better to reduce them in the originals from which the PDFs were made; for example, by lowering the resolution of images.

How do I reduce the size of a PDF file for emailing?

I have scanned a document on my Canon Printer. The size is very large about 14 Megabytes. I do not know how to reduce the size so that I can send it via Mail. I have searched HELP but have not as yet found an answer. One suggestion was that in my Mail window there is an option to reduce the size of the attachment but I see no such option in my email.

Another option for sending large files is to use :
http://www.filedropper.com/
You upload the files to the website and it creates
a URL that you can copy and paste into an email
which you send to the recipient and they use the
generated link to get the file.

How to reduce the size of my pdf X3:2002 for online printing

Hello Adobe,
I have been creating a photobook (33 x 28 cm) with my photo editing software.
The problem is, that I've got a PDF X3 2002 with around 7 GB and the online printing office accepts only 2 GB.
What can I do, how can I reduce this large pdf in 2 GB? I'm working with Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks for your help,
Best,
Andrea

You are sending public messages, don't worry about that. It's working fine. Now, rather than trying to share screen shots and send PDFs, please focus on answering ALL of my questions. Thanks. I will recap. If any of the questions don't make sense, just say so. We need to stay focussed, not go off on a tangent.
- the size in pixels and inches (or mm) for your photos.
- what app you use for layout
- What is the EFFECTIVE resolution you are using for your images (not the original ppi, but adjusted for layout size)?
- How are you making up the pages?
- How do you make the PDF? -
- What PDF compression settings are you using?

How can reduce the size of my pdf file?

Hi There,
I need to reduced a scanned pdf document which is 23MB in to a smaller size so it's acceptable for email.

Acrobat can reduce PDF file sizes. However, by how much depends largely on its content.
On the other hand, sending e-documents as email attachments is never a good idea - they can get damaged, misdirected, lost, and there is always the file size limit.
Much better is to use a file sharing service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, ...) - upload and share the document, then send the download link by email.

How can I reduce the size images on a PDF?

I need to reduce a 25MB document to under 20MB. I am using Acrobat X Pro. When I try to reduce the size of a PDF a conversion warning pops up saying the PDF document contained image masks that were not downsampled.

Assuming you have a number of high quality images in your document odds are you can reduce the quality of the images quite a bit before they become visibly noticeable - so long as the images are relatively small - say 1/3 page or less.
If you knock down either the SIZE, QUANTITY or the QUALITY of the images (use GIMP, save as jpgs for pictures, pngs for text-y images to get max file compression) you can dramatically decrease the size of your file.
I took a 12 MB file down to under 3MB with a little selective editing. It CAN be done.

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)
