Why is the size of my pdf file so large

In the templet,I use a font type "Simsun" for Chinese in the subform.
This font type is added in the output desginer by "font setup" .
And this font has been existing in my os.
When I generate a pdf file, the size reaches >6M.

I was JUST about to type this. I went into my revised pdf and changed the form text boxes to Helvetica and it didnt change the file size. However I re-created the file from scratch and it is now keeping the file size at the original size. Thanks to both of you for the help!

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.

The other alternative is the Save As Other>Reduce File Size. The PDF Optimizer gives you more control. You might also use the audit feature in the PDF Optimizer to see where the size problem is coming from. You might find that in the WORD file you can select and image and then go to the FORMAT (pictures) menu and select compress for all of the bitmaps in the file. That will typically use 150 dpi by default that is adequate for most needs.

Why is the size of my pdf increasing after I add text fields?

I have a simple pdf that by itself is 350kb. But when I add 4 text form fields it increases the size to 2.8mb. Why is this and what can I do to decrease the size but keep the fporm fields for users to type into?
thanks

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 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 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 do I reduce the size of a PDF file?

Hi,
I cant reduce the size of documents that i have scanned, so my emails are all way too big to send online. Help!
Also i used to be able to check the size of a document by "command" "i" and this doesnt seem to work anymore. Is there another easy way to check on the doc information.
Thanks

Solution to improve performance (to increas the speed) when opening PDF file with large 3d model?

I insert a large .u3d building model into PDF file(more than 40M .pdf file), very slow when opening it (more than 30 minutes). Is there any way to improve this when creating the PDF file? It is acceptable to reduce the precision of the model shape/color/texture when inserting it into PDF. I think my hardware is OK,THINKPAD 520 with 8G RAM. This is urgent for me. For any solutions or clues, please let me know.
Thanks and best regards.

http://wiki.david-3d.com/_media/user_page/magweb/judasml1.pdf
in the end, I would try
CAD => PRC
CAD => OBJ => Blender/MeshLab/... OBJ compression => U3D
CAD to OBJ conversion can be done outside but it should be best done within the CAD authoring application (I would leave compression level to a minimum here); I say that because this is what a powerful conversion tool such as Okino states about CAD Data
As mentioned in the "NOTES" above, imported CAD data is most often in a form whereby it mainly consists of triangles, and those triangles can tend to be long sliver triangles due to the "trimming holes" in the source NURBS or BREP solids objects. Also, CAD data tends to have an over-abundance of polygons due to high tessellation of the source data. The Intel MultiRes compression algorithm cannot handle this case of sliver triangles too well (or an overabundance of very small polygons) very well, and hence compression should be reduced or minimized for such CAD datasets. CAD data also tends to have a lot of sharp angular features and thus the "vertex normals" exported and compressed into the U3D file must remain untouched -- too much vertex normal compression leads to a lot of "black banding".
Blender/MeshLab/... OBJ compression is not straightforward; see "quadric edge collapse decimation" in MeshLab but there are lots of alternatives...
(you should try to replicate yourself what the Acrobat 3D Toolkit once did: Optimizing file import for Acrobat 3D Toolkit - YouTube - maybe you can check if Tetra4D tools do it; Tetra4D took over Acrobat 3D business for Adobe)
in the past, I also used Rhino and SALOME to compress CAD to OBJ (SALOME to STL) but I wouldn't recommend this way
MeshLab/SimLab/Okino/... can save OBJ to U3D

Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.

You can't, extra size is to hold the details

How can I change the size of a pdf source file, or, convert it to Word?

How can I change the size of a pdf source file, or, convert it to Word?

A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

Why can't i print a pdf file, it's asking for a password and i have no idea what it is it's never asked me before?

why can't I print a pdf file, it's asking for a password and I have no idea what it is it never asked for one before?

Good afternoon SaraThanks for responding. Yes, I have been able to open these files before without a password. Funny thing is it is happening on both my husband's laptop as well as mine. I'd appreciate any help you could give me but the file is very personal. So, if you can assist in a way that won't compromise the security I would be grateful for your help.Thanks and have a great day!Kim Morse
