Save as optimized pdf, but size not reduced

Hi
I have several pdf files where I want to reduce the size, but it is not working with the option "Save as optimized pdf" in Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
As an example here is a pdf file I created with Inkscape and Latex: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6521267/test4.pdf
This file has a size of more than 6MB and the Adobe space usage audit says, that 99% of the size is the image.
With save as optimized pdf, I can't reduce size. If I print the file as pdf, the size is reduced, but the link disappeared too.
Do you have an idea, how I can keep links but reduce the size?

This file was made by pdfLaTeX. The image is used in a tiling pattern (even though the tile is only 1x1); very unlikely that any PDF processor will shrink that, because tiles are normally used for special effect we don't want to mess with. It you make the file, see if it's an option you can turn off.

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives?

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives? I used Acrobat 9 to do this for a long time. I recently received new laptop loaded with with Acrobat 10 and it does not work the same. I typically scan 8-10 pages of receipts, combine the files in Acrobat, and then optimize to reduce the size so I can upload with my expense report. Typically, my files were reduced to 200-400 KB. I have a 2 MB file that will not reduce at all.

Bernd, thank you for your attempt to help but the option dialog windows do not contain the same options. There are numerous other posts on this forum about this issue and there is no answer. Clearly, there is an issue. I have submitted this issue to our internal help desk.

Can't find Save As Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Standard.

I just bought and installed Acrobat X Standard, but cannot find the Save As > Optimized PDF option. I have seen and used this option before in Acrobat X Pro, and it was one of the reasons I bought Acrobat for myself. Adobe's own website says that this option is available in Acrobat X Standard. My File > Save As menu has options to save as PDF, Reduced Size PDF, Certified PDF, Reader Extended PDF, and the other format options but no "Optimized PDF" option.
Does anyone know what might be going on here? I've tried to look through Acrobat's Preferences to see if I missed something that would enable this option, but I haven't seen anything. Can this be fixed? I didn't fork over a bunch of money to have one of the few options I wanted not be available. If not, is this grounds enough for me to get a refund? I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Any idea what can I can expect if I try to explain this to Adobe Customer Service? I bought the software as a download from Amazon, which will not refund software downloads I just learned. I'd say that since Adobe's website provides incorrect information, and I based my purchase off of that incorrect information, that they should do something for me, then fix their website so it doesn't happen again.
I see that my only two options to talk to customer service are via phone or online chat. I have no idea how helpful or unhelpful Adobe customer service is (i.e. do they use foreign hard-to-understand call centers or stock-answer chats). Does it seem like I'd have any chance in the world of communicating this fairly complicated situation and getting an actual resolution from someone? Is there any email address somewhere I can contact? That way I could copy and paste the link to the incorrect page on Adobe's website. If Adobe can't provide me with a refund of some sort, maybe they could just upgrade me to Acrobat Pro or something. If this is going to be nothing but a many-hour nightmare to try to deal with, though, I'll just eat the money I've spent.
As a last ditch effort, is it possible to upgrade from my existing Acrobat Standard to Acrobat Pro without having to buy a whole new copy of Acrobat Pro?
Geez, what a mess. Thanks for your help.

Automate Save as optimized pdf

I would like to be able to automate - as much as possible - the Save As Optimized PDF function. I have standard selections for all fields in the function. So in order of preference:
1. Automate the entire process from one input hot-folder to an output folder - without ever opening Adobe Pro.
I think this could be done with a folder javascript - but I need to know the object names within Adobe to set defaults. No clue how to get those object names?
2. Set the Save As Optimized PDF fields to a default value - so that opening the file - selecting the Save As Optimized - gives the proper results - without input from the user?
3. Any ideas I haven't thought of?

Answered my own questions - but for the curious.
Set up an Action Wizard - start from a folder - no steps are needed - Save to a different folder.
Inside the save to properties box is a selection for appending to the file name and executing PDF optimizer and all settings for the pdf optimizer - which at the moment looks like it remembers.
put some pdfs into the input folder -
open Pro - do not open any documents
execute the new wizard.
It does multiple pdfs at a time with no interaction required from the user. and appears to work very well.
Thanks

PDDocSaveWithParams vs Acrobat Save As Optimized PDF

All,
I've been wrestling with this for a couple of days. I've been using the PDE api to make some changes to documents, and I noticed that certain documents were causing problems when the PDEContent was set back into the page. After doing some research, I noticed that the Acrobat SDK was throwing an exception when PDPageSetPDEContent was called. All of these documents shared a certain structure, and after running Acrobat's Save as Optimized PDF, the problem vanishes as the problem structures are recombined into a different one. Does anyone know of an Acrobat API call that gives similar functionality?
Joe

PDDocSaveAsOptimized, I believe it is (or maybe its an AVDoc…)

Table size not reducing after delete

The table size in dba_segments is not reducing after we delete the data from the table. How can i regain the space after deleting the data from a table.
Regards,
Natesh

I think when you do DELETE it removes the data but
it's not releasing any used space and it's still
marked as used space. I think reorganizing would help
to compress and pack all block and relase any unused
space in blocks. Why do you think that? Deleting data will create space that can be reused by subsequent insert/ update operations. It is not going to release space back to the tablespace to make it available for inserts into other tables in the tablespace, but that's not generally an issue unless you are permanently decreasing the size of a table, which is pretty rare.
Would you also please explain about different about
LOB and LONG ? or point me to any link which explain
baout it.From the Oracle Concepts manual's section on the LONG data type
"Note:
Do not create tables with LONG columns. Use LOB columns (CLOB, NCLOB) instead. LONG columns are supported only for backward compatibility.
Oracle also recommends that you convert existing LONG columns to LOB columns. LOB columns are subject to far fewer restrictions than LONG columns. Further, LOB functionality is enhanced in every release, whereas LONG functionality has been static for several releases."
LONG was a very badly implemented solution to storing large amounts of data. LOBs are a much, much better designed solution-- you should always be using LOBs.

Choose paper source by PDF page size not working

I have a document that I printed to the Adobe PDF printer that is 36x24 and enabled "Choose paper source by PDF page size". However, when it prints the size is 16.59x11.56 (A3). Has anyone else had this? I can print it properly by disabling the option and hard setting the size in the properties. I have co-worker that has no problem with this.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and so does my co-worker.

If you have not updated Acrobat, try that before you go further. Currently AA9 is at 9.5.1.

Save as Optimized PDF only in Pro?

I used the trial version of Acrobat X Pro and used the Save As...Optimized PDF often. I just bought the standard version and don't see this option. Is it only available in the pro version?

That is correct.

Non-printing items that display in the PDF, but do not print

I've not found definitive word on this, but we are creating a document in InDesign (CS3 Mac) and would like to include some navigational arrows that advance users from one page to another.
They would display on screen but would not print when the user prints.
My understanding is that if we render the PDF from InDesign with those items set as a non-printing layer, that they would not display in the PDF.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Dave

Just set the buttons option to Visible but Doesn't Print.

Why datafile size not reduced ?

Hi,
I do not see the datafile size reduced after I drop tables in the tablespace of that datafile although the free table space reduced.
Question:
How to reduce the datafile without using alter datafile resize?
James.

I tried the exact proceedure you suggest and get exactly the same effect I mentioned previously. With this recent test all saves were with the save options Layers box checked. Here are the file size results. The only difference in size, as expected, is from the compatibility setting.

Both layers visible
No layers visible

How do i save as a pdf when options not given

i have saved my large document file having flattened it but now need to save as a photoshop pdf.
have no options for this in save as.
what do i do or may have done wrong?

There is nothing that would restrict you from getting the "Photoshop PDF option. What file options are you getting?
You export plug in might be damaged, if you create a new file do you get pdf for an option?

I can view a pdf, but can not print it out? (windows 7 32bit with adobe reader XI)
