1. Re: How to reduce the file size on an existing PDF?
Bill@VT Aug 17, 2012 3:33 AM (in response to RobMcP)A lot depends on how it is made. Here are some options: (be sure to work on a copy)
1. Save As, not Save
2. Save As>PDF Optimize (you can optimize image sample and such. There is also an audit function (here I think for AAX) that gives you an idea where the bloat is)
3. Save As>Reduce File Size
4. Print to a new PDF with appropriate job settings (Not recommended normally and will delete links and such)

RobMcP Aug 17, 2012 4:19 AM (in response to Bill@VT)Thanks to both of you.
I've done some checking and it's a catalogue, mainly images which take up 90% (according to the audit function)
I tried several options, and the best I can manage (so far) is from 7092kb to 6153kb. Not really enough, I've managed to get pdfs down more than this before but in this case I don't have the original content.
Will keep trying see what works the best.
Thanks McP

RobMcP Aug 17, 2012 4:39 AM (in response to RobMcP)Print to PDF (nearly) worked, it went to 2MB, but the orientation of the pages went - the trouble is the document has the 1st page as portrait, the pages 2 - 18 are landscape, then p 19 is portrait again. Makes things a bit difficult.
