Trimming Designer generated PDF file size.

I recently had a PDF generated in Acrobat that I downloaded from Adobe. I opened this file in Designer, made no changes, and re-saved the PDF. The file size went from 60k to over 600k. I understand that Designer and Acrobat use two totally different engines for generating PDF's, but what possible explanation is there for the enormous file size difference? Does anyone know of a utility to trim the file size of designer generated PDF's?

There is another post by Jennifer Manarang who had the same issues and she found her solution. You can take a look at this post to see if it helps.

  • Difference in generated PDF file size between distiller 6.0 and 10.0

    Hi,
    we are currently using Distiller server 6.0.1 on Windows server 2003 to convert PS to PDF, we want to upgrade our operating system to Windows server 2008 R2 but distiller server is not supported on this,
    so we are evaluating Acrobat distiller 10 which comes along with Acrobat pro x but we noticed some slight difference in the generated PDF file size, for the same PS the distiller server 6.0 generated PDF
    file size of 55 KB whereas Acrobat distiller 10 generated PDF file is 53 KB. The output looks same but wondering whether is it safe to continue further with the file size difference, it would be good
    if you could provide some insight into why the file sizes are different between these two versions.
    Thanks,
    Anand

  • PDF File Size - any way to compress further?

    We have are using the Crystal for .NET export method to export a report to a .pdf file, and are having an issue with the pdf file size on a report that contains images.  The images are stored in a SQL2005 database as blob or varbinary(max).  The report executes a stored procedure that selects data (including images) to produce a quotation.  There are input parms to decide which images to print (for example A, B or both A&B). Both types of images can appear at the line level on the quotation. Type A images print in the main report, Type B images are in a subreport.  Both the main report & subreport execute a stored procedure to select an image type.
    Our issue, when both Type A and B image is selected to print on a 293 line quote.  The PDF file size is 44.23MB
    When Type A only is selected, the PDF file size is 2.64MB
    When Type B only is selected, the PFD file size is 43.95MB.
    There are more Type B images that would print at the line level than Type A, but is there any way to compress this down further as it is too large to email.

    You mention that you are using Crystal for .NET, but not what version; CR for .NET 2003, 2005, 2008. 2010?
    Applying the latest fixes for the correct version of CR would be the first thing to do.
    Next, I'd have a close look at image B as it appears to be the one adding the most "bulk". How is this image different from image A?
    General tips re. images:
    Save the files a BMPs.
    When .jpg image is inserted into Crystal Reports it is converted into bitmap format and as the result of the conversion the report may loose some quality, scale and other issues may arise... E.g.; Crystal Reports is not so good a graphics management tool
    When an image is saved as a .bmp, then there is no conversion required and thus the quality of the image should be preserved.
    Best practice: save the image with high resolution and required size as a .bmp format then insert this image into Crystal Reports.
    Resize the image to the smallest possible size and downgrade the DPI to 72. This will ensure your image is as small as possible and Crystal Reports will have to put in the least amount of work to display it.
    Have a look ar KB [1241630 - Exporting a Crystal report (XI) to PDF generates a big PDF file|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233343331333633333330%7D.do]. This KB, may apply to your version of CR, or not. In any case, you will have to use the KB as a guide and determine what the appropriate registry entry would be for your version of CR.
    One more thing. Many people like to use jpg files as they are smaller than bmp files. However, as far as Crystal Reports is concerned, this is inconsequential. The report file will be the same size if a file is inserted as a jpg or a bmp. This is due to the jpg conversion to bmp Crystal Reports does internally.

  • PDF file size too large

    Hi,
    I have a report (6i and 9Ids) which contains an image (stored as a blob in the database (8i)). The size of the image in the database (and as a file) is just 750k. The image is sized to fit on to the A4 report page. If I set the desformat of this report to PDF the resulting PDF output file is 10mb in size. I need to make this report available over the web so this is too large. Has anyone got any ideas as to reducing the output file size?
    I have tried the pdfcomp report parameter with no joy.
    Cheers
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    The image you are using might be a JPEG image. In 6i and 9i, while generating the PDF file, Oracle Reports always converts the image to GIF and embed it. This image type conversion increases the file size of the outputimage and hence PDF file size increases. This is fixed in Oracle Reports 10g.
    In Oracle Reports 10g, you can select the outputimageformat based on your need, using either:
    1. commandline: OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT
    (or)
    2. environment variable: REPORTS_OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT
    If your image in the database is a JPEG image, set the outputimageformat to JPEG. Hence, there will not be any image type conversion and the PDF file will be very small.
    Please refer to the Publishing Reports manual to know more about the usage of these commandline/environment variable.

  • Reduce PDF File Size - any ideas?

    Hi all,
    I have a C++/C# programs that generates PDF's in Adobe Reader using Infragistics.  This is a recent change from using VS View as our old method of illustrating - we now use Infragistics.  This has resulted in our PDF File sizes almost doubling due to us now using Bookmarks within the PDFs and also having to embed the fonts.  There are some pictures used but these are already very small so they are not the issue.  I was wondering does anyone have any ideas of how we could possibly reduce the size again or any possible work arounds.
    Any help would be great.

    Where do these EPS files come from Photoshop or Illustrator?
    Illustrator
    There may be nothing wrong with EPS files technically, they are considered archaic in a modern workflow. Best to save as a .ai with pdf compatible file - or to save them as  PDF x4a with Illustrator Editing Capabilities enabled.
    But I don't think there's any need to run out and convert all your files - perhaps keep it in mind going forward.
    Photoshop
    EPS is really not the best format. If it's pure raster then PSD or TIFF would be preferred format, if it's Raster + Vector Shapes, Vector Masks, Text Layers then PDF is preferred over EPS (with photoshop editing capabilities enabled).
    File sizes react differently depending on the content on the choice of compression. Heavy Vector files from Illustrator can cause Huge file sizes in PDFs.
    See this article (and more importantly the comments!)
    http://indesignsecrets.com/creating-smaller-pdfs-from-a-vector-dense-book.php
    If you can provide a bit more info  on your workflow and what settings you are using to save it would be great.

  • Error when Generate PDF File on SAP BW 7.3

    Hello friends i have a problem.

    Finally i compare the environments (Production, Dev and QAS) and in DEV and QAS this report works perfectly (generate PDF file correctly). I compare configurations of them and they have the same parameters and values.
    The Support Desktop tools set on green all (DEV and QAS)
    I found an article about the ADS rfc that use the adobe document service, so i check in the environment production and this doesn't exists (using SM59).  I check in the environments DEV and QAS and this doesn't exists, but in both evironments appears just "ADS is enabled" and works perfectly.
    I tried to execute the program test of PDF's (FP_TEST_IA_01 and FP_TEST_00) on the three environments and not working on all.
    Please help me with this, i am crazy with this!!!
    Thanks and greetings.

  • PDF file size

    I have an HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z (Network) that I use at home to scan into PDFs, and I know exactly how to move the slider from "Smallest size" to "Best quality" 
    However the size of the PDFs are unacceptably large when image quality is acceptable, and if I move the slider to reduce the size then the image becomes unacceptable.  It is impossible to scan a legal document of more than a few legible pages without producing a file size too large to email .  I am forced to break these scanned documents into 3-4 page bite-sized chunks.
    A simple one page HOA Disclosure form, at 220 DPI and the slider in the middle for balance, produces a 699K PDF.  I have used other printer scanners at work (different brands) at the same 200 DPI that results in very clear documents at less than 100K per page. 
    I believe there is something wrong with HP's scan-to-PDF algorithm.  The problem must be due to some unskilled (or flawed) software design.  What will it take to have HP or third party developer (and developer staff supervision) take this seriously -- compare HP vs other brand scanners PDF files -- and update the HP drivers to fix this?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Just a follow up.  I went into chat mode with some low-level tech named Nathan, giving him the link to this thread.  After reading it, he suggested I can improve file size by using greyscale and 200 DPI.  DUH!!!!  I complained he was just humoring me, so he said I should call the tech support number.
    I did that next and spoke with a very nice young lady who actually DID take me seriously.  I could hear her typing away vigorously in the background, capturing every detail of my plea for this to be forwarded up the chain of command for serious consideration.  It was clear she understood and captured from me that there are many forum complaints that can be found with a search term "PDF File Size" that are getting weak or unacceptable "solutions" to push the slider left or use lower DPI etc.  She also captured my assurances that some competitor brands produce PDF file sizes 20 times smaller for the same image quality.
    I believe that this might actually be opened up at a higher level for consideration of an improvement in the compression algorithm.  My fingers are crossed.  Since I have about 11 months left for warranty support, I plan to contact them once or twice again before it expires, using the same case number to see if there is any progress.
    Bottom line:  At my default of 200 DPI and 20% image quality, with an average file size for a single sample page producing a file size of 281KB, a 25-page document creates a PDF file that is 7MB!  That will just barely make it past the file size limit for my email provider, but might be too large for the recipient.  That is still unacceptable, and is forcing me to consider products other than HP for this business purpose.

  • Question about reducing PDF file size on export

    I have a large file that is generates a PDF about 75MB when exported with the "[High Quality Print]" preset. However, I can reduce the size down to to under 5MG in Acrobat if I use the Tools>Flattener Preview>[Medium Resolution] setting (image attached). Is there a way to generate this smaller file directly from InDesign? I couldn't figure out how to do this with InDesign's Flattener Preview or Export options, but it is very likely that I missed something.

    Eugene Tyson wrote:
    When you choose Smallest File size, it is still using the PDF 1.6 setting.
    Change this to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) this will automagically flatten the PDF - which means you shouldn't have to do it in Acrobat.
    That should get you a nice small file size, I believe.
    Flattening transparency in InDesign will not necessarily yield a smaller PDF file size. Transparency flattening will not automatically convert placed vector artwork to raster images unless that vector artwork is actually involved with transparency. And even then, whether you end up with a smaller file depends on a number of factors.
    If the reason for the very large file size is indeed very complex vector artwork and you are willing to sacrifice quality, conversion of such vector artwork to raster might yield a significantly smaller exported PDF file. To accomplish that conversion, I would personally suggest converting the most offensive (in terms of file size and complexity) of such files in Illustrator (assuming that they were .AI files) and exporting them as .TIF files (to avoid the potential imaging artifacts of JPEG compression).

  • InDesign Transparency Effect vs. pdf file size

    I have an Interactive pdf that was created from InDesign. There is  "inner glow" is an effect style created box style. This box style is used a number of times in the 30  page document. The glow is a gradient from black to transparent which looks  like an inner shadow for the boxes (sample attached). When I generate the pdf file, size is about 12 Mgb, too large for the target audience.
    When I alter the style in InDesign to say something simple like a 10%  black solid fill, the pdf file size decreases to about 1 Mgb.
    Looked into "flattening transparency" options but this creates pdf that has none of the interactive buttons and links that are required.
    Really would like to avoid creating these boxes in photoshop since there are about 40 different sizes of the box.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    For some reason I can't find reply on Forums site, so replying to this 
    email
    Exporting an Interactive pdf using the attached (15.8) jpegs settings 
    creates a file that is 15.8 Mgb.
    Exporting an Interactive pdf using the attached (14.5) jpegs settings 
    creates a file that is 15.8 Mgb.
    Any ideas??? Thanks.

  • Interactive PDF file size

    Hi all,
    Is there a way I can reduce an interactive PDF file size. As per my understanding it can be done with ES2 PDF generator in AdminUI, but I am looking to do this in the process(work flow).
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks,
    Tanmay

    Using 72dpi instead of the presets only reduced the file size by a couple hundred kilobytes.
    Could it have to do with my buttons on the master pages?  I've had real problems with them not working across the various documents that get combined in book form.

  • Financial Reports PDF File Size

    We recently patched from 11.1.2 to 11.1.2.2 and we have noticed that the PDFs generated from Financial reporting have a file size significantly larger (4x) then when they were done with the previous release. Nothing has changed on the reports. Is there some configuration that can be done to get the PDF file size back to where it was previously ? From Financial reports Help-> About we are on version 11.1.2.362.

    11.1.2.2 come with a new print engine, which does your PDF looks different in size. You may have change the settings by selecting the "Auto Size" option in the Grid Poperties and test

    I see no problem with your batch file, and the messages
    proceed properly. To troubleshoot this further, I suggest
    you read the email (currently adjacent) titled:
    "Error using MIF doclet to create PDFs".
    It describes several different approaches, including
    generating PS and using Distiller to generate PDF,
    or trying dzbatcher with -v option to echo each
    command to see where it stops.
    Please let us know your results, as this seems to be
    a common problem.

    Regards
    Vids

    hi,
    regarding report, there is a dedicated report forum. you should post there.
    but answer for your question is form is nothing to do with the pdf generation. you can call the report from the as usual.
    In the report you should set the properties like
    destype to 'file'
    desname to 'path with file name'
    desformat to 'pdf'
