Why is that saving as PDF increase the file sizes?

Hola
I've been notice that when I save a file as PDF, in CS5  it increase the file size to double that before.
Even saving it with the same setting than before.
For example, most of my Business Card file that I sent to print, use to be 1.5 or so megabytes
Now if I open the same file, --or a new file-- and save it, it will increase it to double that size
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hola and Thanks for your help
Ok, I've been using Photoshop since version 6 or so (around year 2000)
Just upgrade to CS5
Before, for example, I'll make a file in PS, merge the layers, open a new file whit the same dimensions, resolution etc,
and save this file as PDF to send to printers.
Tthe file(s) that I have or were create them in CS4, than saved as PDFs have a file sizes of 1 to 2 megabytes as average.
The NEW files (in the same sequence) that I create now, have an average of 3 Mbytes
Even do, I save them with the same --I believe-- setting in PDF
There's may be a new feature in PDF save dialogue box that I'm not getting?
or, it just more information that it is put into?
Thanks

    How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

    You can't change it, and I suspect few email providers would allow a file that big.  Consider uploading it to a service like Dropbox, then email the link allowing the recipient to download it.

  • Do Leopard icons increase the file size?

    In programs like Photoshop you have the option of including a preview or a thumbnail icon for the image you’re saving. This is important to know because, if you are making a web page or trying to fit as many files as possible on a disk, you want the file sizes to be as small as possible, and you do not want the images saved with a thumbnail icon or preview.
    In Leopard, in list and icon views, I noticed that the files have an icon whether you had these settings turned on in Photoshop or not. How does this work? Are those icons in the finder being embedded into the file or is Leopard some somehow generating them “on the fly” and not increasing the file size of the individual images? Does Cover Flow work the same way, and generate the previews on the fly rather than embedding anything into the images?

    Unless you've given a file a custom icon, through the Finder, Photoshop, or another method, the icons are generated elsewhere in the system and aren't part of the file itself.

  • Digital signature increases the file size

    My digital signature increases the file size from 262kb to 15meg.  How can I reduce the file size?

    Actually, it sounds normal. Try turning off the preference "Include Signature’s Revocation Status When Signing" but be sure you understand the consequences... that space is being used for something that might be important.

  • How do I increase the file size of a photo?

    I have an iMac with Mavericks installed and took a photo with my iPhone 5 that I would like to increase to a 2 MB JPEG file size. How do I do this?

    Export with higher quality (file menu ==> export - see the use tip on exportign for details on options)
    However this will not change anything about the photo except the amound of disk sopace it uses - the photo is stil exactly the same no matter how large you make the file by reducing compression

  • How can I convert a Microsoft Publisher doc to PDF when the file size is LARGE?

    I have a Microsoft Publisher document that I need converted to PDF. Typically I have no issues converting from Publisher to PDF (and usually can just do it through the "save as" feature in Publisher.) However, this particular file is laden with graphics and therefore very large. I was able to convert it once, but it made some of the graphics as blank boxes. When I try again to convert, it gives me an error message.
    Is there a way to conver a LARGE Publisher file to PDF without losing any of the images contained within the document? Please help!

    Try emptying the Temp folder. Are you using PDF Maker (not sure that is available for Publisher) or the MS plugin? If PDF Maker, try turning off the tags and reducing the amount of bookmarks needed to a minimum. As an alternative, simply print to the Adobe PDF printer -- will typically give a smaller file and not run into these creation problems for large document, but you will not get bookmarks or such in the conversion process.

  • How can I reduce the file size when PDF Optimizer does not do much?

    I have a PDF form that exists of 48 pages. 44 pages are forms / have form fields, the other 4 are just informative. Each form-page has approx. 80 fields (checkboxes, text fields).
    When I started setting up the PDF form the file size was 12 MB and I had placed fields on 21 pages. Then with 34 pages the file size was 19 MB. And with 40 pages it was 35 MB big! Finally with 44 pages the file size is 34 MB.
    So I searched with Google and found some tips. Using the "PDF Optimizer" option inside Acrobat for example. So I did, and the file was reduced only with 3 MB... 31 MB was the file. Also used the option "Save as.... Optimized".... no difference. I also found a suggestion about removing embedded fonts. Using the "Audit Space Usage" option I noticed the fonts taking many MegaBytes:
    * Content Streams: 5.287.000     15,09 %
    * Fonts:                24.556.810     70,08 %  !!
    * Acrobat forms:      3.349.164    12,05 %
    In the older PDF version (I saved and kept this one too) with just 21 pages with form-fields, the  "Audit Space Usage" shows:
    * Content Streams: 5.292.000     40,14 %
    * Fonts:                 1.290.224     9,79 %
    * Acrobat forms:      1.588.758    12,05 %
    So I could save many many MegaBytes by -UnEmbedding- fonts. But if I do this (unembed ALL fonts), the file size stays almost the same!?!?!? Why? What can I do to reduce the file size? I would like it to be 8 MB if possible (32 MB -  24 MB = 8 MB)?
    Thank you for your help!

    If you have authored the form, reduce the number of different fonts for the content and form fields.
    Any font used in a form field will cause that font to be embedded into the PDF.
    If you are going to Optimize the PDF be very careful with forms. Optimization does a lot of removal of items and rearranging of items which can really mess up forms.

  • Why Does Save As-PDF/A reduce file size when I don't want it to?

    I scanned a 4-paged printed card with my Epson Perfection 4490 scanner in order to digitally archive it. Each page is about 5x7 inches, and I scanned at 100 percent. I scanned each page as an individual TIFF image file, at 600 samples per inch.
    I brought each TIFF image file into Photoshop one at a time. I saved each TIFF as a JPEG, at Quality: 8, Baseline ("Standard").
    Then, I brought the JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a 4-paged PDF. Initially, the file size of the saved 4-paged PDF was 5 MB. (Later, I determined the individual JPEG's add up to 5.2 MB.) When saving as PDF/A, the final format that I want to use, the file size was unexpectedly reduced from 5 MB to 2.5 MB.
    What is the reason for the file size being reduced to 2.5 MB? I had already done the compression that I wanted in Photoshop. The PDF was not downsampled. I purposely did not use Optimizer.
    I did a test. This time, in Photoshop, I compressed each TIFF to JPEG, at Quality: 5, Baseline ("Standard"), the Medium setting instead of the High setting. After bringing these JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro, the saved 4-paged PDF was 2.8 MB in size, an expected smaller size. Saving as PDF/A produced a file of 2.6 MB in size, very close to the same size this time, possibly indicating it accepting the Medium quality level.
    Apparently, saving as PDF/A reduces the quality level of JPEG's to Medium quality, when they are of higher quality to begin with. It seems to be designed to optimize even when I don't want it to.

    Here's the Audit Space Usage for the original 5 MB file. It shows the images taking up the majority of the space, as expected:

  • Optimize increases in file size by 5 times why?

    Hi All,
    This maybe a simple question but please hear me out. I take footage on my Go Pro HD 2 in 1080p. I have the files on a network storage device total filles size = 79GB. When I import to FCPX I run my events from a 1TB thunderbolt connect drive into my imac 27 inch for editing. If I optimize the modia on import to convert from MP4 (which edits fine in native in FCPX btw) to Apple ProRes 422 then the file size increases from 79GB to 379 GB which just seems ridiculous? I did have colour analyze also checked, but can someone let me know if this is normal? I wouldn't expect the ProRes to be 5 times the size of the original?
    Thanks

    Most modern consumer cameras shoot AVCHD or other very compressed footage.
    This is fine for playback but the high compression puts a great strain on the processor during editing.
    Turning it to ProRes 422 reduces the compression, so making it easier to edit but of course it greatly increases the file size.
    When you have finished editing you can export the finished movie as AVCHD and once again it will be back to its original small size  .......  or even smaller.
    You can of course try editing your native footage without optimising but you may get lots of dropped frames and stuttering playback etc. making the editing process tedious.
    Try it and see  ........  you may be lucky if your computer is powerful enough.
    You don't need colour analysis.

  • How can I reduce the file size in Adobe Reader 9?

    My wordpress isn't allowing me to upload files larger than 2MB. How do I resize my PDF in Adobe Reader 9 so that it is <2MB?
    Thank you very much for the help!

    In Acrobat, open a PDF file.
    -Choose Document > Reduce File Size.
    -Select Acrobat 8.0 And Later for file compatibility, and click OK.
    When you choose the compatibility level, be aware that the newer the version of Acrobat that you choose, the smaller the file. If you choose compatibility with Acrobat 9, however, you should be sure that your intended audience does indeed have version 9 installed.
    Name the modified file. Click Save to complete the process.
    It is always a good idea to save a file using a different name so that you don't overwrite an unmodified file.
    Acrobat automatically optimizes your PDF file, a process that may take a minute or two. Any anomalies are displayed in the Conversion Warnings window. If necessary, click OK to close the window.
    Minimize the Acrobat window. View the size of the reduced file. The file size is smaller.
    You can repeat steps stated above using different compatibility settings to see how they affect file size. note that some settings might actually increase the file size.
    PDF Optimizer offers more opportunities to control quality trade-offs.
    Choose File > Close to close your file.

  • Downloading Excel file shows increase in file size

    Hi,
    I have a XLS file, available in my SharePoint site.
    When i Click on the file, I get the "Open", "Save" and "Save As option". On top of this, I can see the file size which shows as "400kb".
    When I click on save and file is download the file size is shown as 900 kb. How does that happen? How is the file size increasing exponentially? How to resolve this?
    Thanks

    This element is true but not necessarily related to just the versions.  All Office documents will retain the list info from which they're downloaded (such as metadata info) as XML.  You could try clearing this data out as a test and then
    re-comparing the file sizes.

  • Increase Project File Size limit?

    When I'm recording a longer song with real instruments, occasionally I will be told I can't record because I'm close to the 2gb file size limit. How do you increase the file size limit, or just get rid of it all together?
    Thanks

    I didn't know there was a size limit. I have Projects that are over 2 GB.

  • Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom?  I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

    Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7?  I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

    Hello Apple.
    It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed?  (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
    Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
    I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
    I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.

    I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wrong?

    Good to know  — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
    "Adobe" is the name of the company.
    "XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
    Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have  an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
    "Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
    The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
    Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
    Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
    So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
    What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
    Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both? 
    Be well....
