    PDF File Size Reduction

      Currently, I am using Adobe Reader XI, but am looking for a version that allows for the reduction of the PDF file size.  This is especially useful when e-mailing documents.  Can anyone suggest the best version to keep the editing functions (ex. PDF to Word), but add the reduction capabilities?

       

      Thanks.

          Hi ,

           

          Using Adobe Reader you cannot reduce the size of a file . You can go with the Adobe Acrobat 11 pro for this and many more stuff you can do with this product.

           

          Thanks

            As mentioned you can't reduce the file size with Reader. Your alternative might be to zip the file if you are not willing to get Acrobat. However, even Acrobat does not always reduce the file size well, with a lot depending on the structure of the PDF.

                I’ll take a look at upgrading to Acrobat and see if that will do the trick.

                 

                 

                 

                I appreciate the response.
