Setting "Compress PDF" preferences?

Hi,
I can't find where I can set the options for "Save as PDF"? I want to be able to tell it how much to compress the images in my file and how much to downsample the images, but I can't find any documentation to tell me where these options or preferences are set? I have tried the "Compress PDF" option but it doesn't seem to do much compression. Is there a place where those preferences are set?
Thanks -- Andy

Enter your screen resolution in the box.
Now, if you go to View > Print Size the Rulers will show the actual size in the units you have the ruler set to, and the photo will appear the same size on your screen as it will be printed.

  • Compressed PDF Output

    Greetings,
    We are doing R12.1.1 AP testing. when we run the concurrent program "Format Payment Instructions" (IBY_FD_PAYMENT_FORMAT), the output is set to PDF. According to our third party cheque print software, it cannot handle "Compressed PDF" files. This is the first time I have heard about "Compressed PDF" files. Does anyone know of a workaround, given our current configuration?
    Thanks...colin

    Pl see if MOS Doc 205295.1 (New Feature: PDF Compression) can help. Reports 9i and later releases turn on PDF compression by default. I am not sure how it can be turned off in an EBS environment

  • Quartz filter settings for compressing pdf file

    I have used the nominal quartz filter setting (reduce file size) to compress pdf file.  It reduced the file
    size significantly--but the text resolution was considerably blurred.
    What is an appropriate setting to reduce pdf file size and not destroy the test resolution ?

    See if this helps...

  • How to Automate Compressing PDF files in a Watched Directory

    I want to automatically compress PDF files as they get placed into a watched directory. I would like the compressed files placed in another directory and have the original file either deleted or place in another directory. If Acrobat Pro X can do this, how do I set it up.

    I noticed that Acrobat Distiller will watch an input directory and move files to an output directory. I tried using Distiller to compress a PDF file, but all it did was move the PDF file to the out directory without doing any compression. Is there any way that Distiller could be configured to do what I want?
    I also called the number listed on the Adobe web site for LiveCycle products. They told me they don't sell their product to non government companies and they referred me to 4 Point to get further info. I called them and only got a voice mail. I'm waiting for a call back.
    I found a product that does exactly what I need. It is called PdfCompressor Professional Edition. But, it costs more than what I want to spend. I'm guessing that LiveCycle will cost more than I want to spend also. If there are any other products that cost less than $150, I would like to know what they are.

  • Compress PDF missing from Preview

    I want to compress a PDF I have created. I've been told that in Preview, in the Print dialog box, in the PDF menu there is an option "Compress PDF." That option doesn't appear in my dropdown menu. It doesn't appear in that menu regardless of what program I'm selecting Print from.
    I have a new MacBook Pro I bought last August with the latest version of Lion.
    How do I get that compression feature to work on my system?

    The assumption is that "Compress PDF" found in the Preview PDF menu is the same as the Compress you refer to. My friend claims to (I haven't actually seen him do it) use the Compress PDF in Preview and got a 17 MB file down to 600 KB.
    When I try to compress the file it makes no significant change in file size. Is my friend's system set to a different compression ratio or could there be a difference between these two types of 'compress' or something else?
    I've looked online to see if there is a way to adjust the compression ratio. Certainly nothing obvious or user friendly. Not that I'm not capable of command line, but I don't want to go that route. My friend knows much less about computers than I do, so I'm sure he hasn't made any adjustments to his settings.

    I guess I'm lacking understanding the gut essence of Apex; I've had a look at a few tutorial and the stuff
    I've read so far falls far short of acceptability - the manuals have one or two sentences of "aims" at
    the start of a section followed by fifty-point lists of "do this, do that" instructions then they round it
    off with an audaciously arrogant section at the end along the lines of "Now you know how to do XYZ".
    What this lacks is the "essence" of the task - I have to reverse engineer each blooming step to try and
    understand what it is meant to achieve.
    Have I missed any damn good tutorials out there - there must be some (except those boring Youtube
    videos where we watch someone perform the fifty-step routines again without explaining the essence).
    Can you tell that I'm frustrated by a lack of documentation; I risk losing your kind support in my early
    foray into Apex (help a drowning man please :-)
    Thanks again in advance
    Mungo :-)Its important to remember that Apex is nothing other than a framework for creating HTML and running web pages. So what used to be triggers are now standard javascript events. Although you will find help on the forum for javascript and maybe some in the documentation, javascript events are standard and not proprietary like Forms triggers were. Its frustrating, but there are a TON of resources (google) on the basics of javascript. For instance instead of when-validate-trigger, you'll probably look at the onblur event to trigger a piece of javascript code to run your validation. You can use onfocus which would be sort of like when-new-item-instance in Forms-speak.

  • How can I set 'Adobe PDF printer' as one of my printer choices?

    I've given it half an hour. Can't seem to figure out how I can set 'Adobe PDF printer' as one of my printer options. I'm not sure if I need to download an Adobe file, and what folder I might need to place it in, and if I also need to add a specific driver.
    I'm trying to create a PDF file that printers and outfits like www.lulu.com will accept. Printing an MS Word document via 'Adobe PDF printer' will allow me, I'm told, to produce a suitable PDF file.
    Ideally I'm producing the original document in Pages - but I've been told by printers and lulu.com et. al. that no one out there likes PDF's produced by Pages ("not professional").
    Any suggestions you might have would be most appreciated...

    I downloaded the Lulu Adobe PDF joboptions file ... but it didn't come with any instructions on how to install or use it. I just have the file. I opened it with a double click and got Adobe Distiller - and I can 'see' what the settings are, but I'd love to understand how to install it so it becomes a selection when I export from Pages.
    Forget the Lulu instruction about double click to install. Quit Acobat Distiller and Acrobat Pro. Move the Lulu joboptions file to the Adobe PDF Settings folder. The path to it is:
    HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Settings/
    or
    HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/
    You're in the right folder when you see other joboptions files already in the Settings folder.
    Next, launch Pages and open your document.
    From the File menu, select Page Setup. In that window, select Adobe PDF 7 for "Format for," choose your paper size, orientation and scale % and click OK.
    From the File menu, select Print
    In the Print window, be sure the Printer is Adobe PDF 7
    Click on Layout for a pop down list and select PDF Options
    To the right of "Adobe PDF Settings" click for a pop up list and select Lulu

    I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work.<BR>As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.<BR><BR>HTH

  • How to set default .PDF file extension for Form Downloads

    I am trying to find a way of setting the PDF file extension when I download forms.
    I author the forms under a Plus subscription and am then downloading the forms under a basic subscription Collaborator account (diffrent person)
    If I don't include .pdf as the file type when downloading a form with a unique name as the Collaborator, it downloads without a file extension.
    Remembering to continually add the pdf file extension is a pain so I'm hoping there is away of setting this as a defaulet for my 'collaborator' account ?

    Firstly, apologies for multiple posts, I received messages saying my comment hadn't posted and also checked my history before re-submitting.
    Okay, the process is
    1. Log in as the Author account and I can rename the file without having to set the extension
    2. Log in as the Collaboartor account - same PC, browser etc and it doesn't save with a default file extension; HOWEVER, I have done this whilst also being logged in on a diffrent browser as the Author
    3 I have just tried logging out as Author and only being in as the collaborator and the form downloaded with a default PDF.
    4. I had someone else log in as the collaborator from thei PC and browser whilst I was still signed inunder my author account and again they were unable to save as PDF by default
    This has me wondering if there is anything at play when you've got multiple Users?

  • Compressed PDF Dictionary Entry w/ Portable Collections in PDF 1.7/Acrobat 9.0?

    First of all, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but I thought it could potentially be tied into the SDK.
    Anyhow, I am in the process of writing a program for verifying PDF file structure and whether or not the file adheres to the current spec.  A current issue I have encountered is a seemingly compressed PDF dictionary entry inside the PDF file.  This seems to only occur with files that use Portable Collections, and the strange thing is that the beginning of the entry is in plaintext, but then it gets compressed somewhere along the way (with no corresponding /Filter entry).  Of course Acrobat 9 reads the file without issue, but I cant for the life of me discern what compression is actually being used.  Any help was to what is actually occurring here would be most appreciated.
    Here's an example (converted from hex to ascii so some of the caracters may be incorrect):
    <</Subtype/XML/Length 2986/Type/Metadata?W}pT????&???$?_?8]7~??6??kM??}Y?l $!?20??
    Raw string:
    0D3C3C2F537562747970652F584D4C2F4C656E67746820323938362F547970652F4D65746164617461AC577D70 54D515DFCD269B0F1C24885FE9385D377E00F336EFFB6B4DA2D97D59126C202421093230BEC
    As you can see, the dictionary entry begins in cleartext and then gets compressed along the way.  This doesn't seem to be Ascii85 and couldn't be Flate, right? So does that mean that it is run-length?
    Thanks!

  • How do I set a PDF Export Preset to force a minimum line weight on output?

    How do I set a PDF Export Preset to force a minimum line weight on output?  I'm currently using one that came from a printer that works great - but I can't seem to find the option when creating one myself.  I have some placed Illustrator line art that is built with .25 line thickness and when I have it placed at 20% scale the lines are too thin to see in the PDF output.

    There is absolutely no way to force minimum line widths within InDesign itself, certainly not as part of the PDF export process!! And even one writes a script to go through every object within an InDesign document and both validate and fix line widths less than some particular threshold, such a script would be useless against placed artwork, the contents of which are not available for manual or programmatic inspection within InDesign.
    Note that one should be exceptionally careful in “fixing” hairlines, especially if you are placing vector artwork at very low magnification. It may actually be OK to let certain lines drop out. After a fixup on some content, you could end up with a messy mass of lines.

  • Does Preview compress PDFs when saving?

    Hi.  My scanner can group separate scans into a single PDF on its own, but it is significantly slower than scanning documents separately and merging them with Preview. 
    Since scans are essentially saved twice when going the "merge with Preview" route (once when scanned, again when merged), I'm curious to know whether Preview compresses PDFs with each save.  If so, I'd like to know how lossy this process is.  Anyone know?
    Thanks in advance for any help / info!

    Preview suck!!! Please for your own sanity use acrobat to edit PDF. Get it from adobe.com
