Can (CS5) export to PDF format and compress Images?

Using CS5, I have a 'book' with 12 chapters and a total of about 800 color images. The goal is to export it to a PDF file that is shown on the screens, not sent to a printer.

When I export to PDF format, the file size is huge: about 240 MB.

I want this file to be much - a lot! -smaller size (in MB).

I have all images with different resolutions - from 72 dpi to 220 dpi - and I do not have the higher resolutions.

What is the best way to approach this problem? ...

--Are there a way to set Indesign to compress images when exporting?

- Or if Photoshop can be used to 'batch' compress images at 72 dpi?

- Or is there another method that I can't even imagine.

Thank you very much!

Zorba

Look in the export PDF dialog box. In the "Compression" Panel, you can set a maximum allowed DPI - any image of a value greater than the value "above" will be sous-échantillonnées to the value "to".

It works only on bitmap images. If you placed the vector images big, there is no way to automatically decrease their size.

  • I have an annual subscription to export in PDF format that send States that she joined at the signing, but when I try to access to this that it takes me to a page of upgrade

    I used to have the sign of the echo, but cancelled the subscription as my subscription to export in PDF format that send for signature is included but I can't access it and keep sent to a page of upgrade instead of Acrobat Pro DC. I only need to send two or three documents per month, so I can't justify the cost. In an attempt frustrated trying to find the prior service (after waiting to support the customer for 45 minutes) I then signed for sending and the railway until I realize that it is also (theoretically) included in export to PDF format and does not send me signed anyway so even if I cancelled now it , this wont be done until October 21, 2016, so I paid for a useless program for 12 months. Can I access echo sign or send to the signature or not with my subscription please. I will not be upgrading DC Pro so if I can't then I'll get a free/less expensive service.elsewhere of e-signature.

    Thank you

    Hi Pheonix 1,

    I'm sorry, but export to the PDF format does not send for the Signature option.

    You will need sending to autonomous or Signature included with the Pack of PDF from Adobe, Acrobat Pro DC and Acrobat Standard DC

    See this link for more information: sent for Signature. Adobe Document Cloud

  • How can I export to PDF for printing Offset, including colors and grayscale of the photo?

    After reading dozens of forum, I not yet found the answer.

    I made a photo album with full-colur and b & w photos for Offset print. I want to be for the b & w grayscale avoid the hues of colors possible. It seems that InDesign does not support the shades of gray, how images become dark. Even with export without any conversion of color or the destination and/or including profiles of original colors, the images are exported to obscurity as a PDF to grayscale.


    How can I export to PDF for printing Offset, including colors and grayscale of the photo?

    Yes, Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same

    This can become difficult because 3 programs manage proofing differently.

    Work spaces don't matter, document profiles that handle the preview. So here's the same image in grayscale, placed in the ID on the top and PS on the bottom. I put my info in Photoshop to display the profile of doc in the lower left corner. I can see the profile of my InDesign CMYK Document in my test format (CMYK work is different and is not used). The two profiles are actually the same coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of the PS).

    But the previews do not match because I disabled, so the preview InDesign is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview overprinting.

    If I turn on overprint preview, I get a match because I'm soft proofing for printing:

  • How can I get this file exported in PDF format

    How can I get a single file magazine among many others to export to PDF?  For 12 years, we used different versions of ID to produce a magazine that is black & white, sent to the printers in PDF for offset. We kept of many originals of color photo that we had converted to grayscale.  We do visit back editions, replacement of grayscale images with color when we haave it and export of high quality Print PDF.  These are displayed on a web page for customers to download back issues.

    The May 2011 edition is exporting in PDF format, at least not with the same settings as before and after this date questions, and different export settings does nothing for the situation.  Tried .idml export and opening as a new file as suggested in the FAQ.  This is saved as a new ID file under a new name.  Still won't export to PDF, although the export of .idml went smooth as a whistle.  Have been verified links and relinked two images in grayscale which was reported in the file links.  No change.  Have replaced outdated (TT) fonts with new (OT).  No change.  We continue to work backwards in time with these conversions, and always the older files export fine after the insertion of color.  It is ID5 on a Win7 machine with lots of RAM.  This part done ID5 to a creative suite so other applications are available in the machine.  Don't have not trashed preferences, because they work with the editions before and after the trouble.  What should I do next?

    Thank you, Pierre.  Export a page both reduced the search down to a problem page, which has turned having a problem with a graph that is used in each issue.  Replacement and reissue of links that graphic design has exceeded this bump.  It was on the new copy of the file that has gone through all the other changes described previously, so I don't know if they have had no effect.  Need to return other issues rather than experiment with the original file.

  • I can't export to PDF from Indesign... I export and then nothing happens. Can someone please?

    InDesign has worked well for a long time.  Then recently, after I and to reset my computer to an earlier time, stopped Indesign let me export to PDF format. I get no error message.  It's just that nothing happens after that I have to export it.  I have some big deadlines for printin and am desperate for help.  I sent the Indesign file to someone else, and they were able to export and create a PDF file.

    I look forward to any suggestion. I'd be happy to pay someone if they can make it work again.

    Of course, if you want to pay, they'll be happy to take your money. Call technical support and prosecute. Make sure you get a case number and the name of the person to help you and don't let them tell you they will call you back. If necessary, don't be shy about insisting on being raised to the next level.

    It is 4 pages, but make sure you read all this. There are several possible solutions to stop the background export and some other useful information.

    Unfortunately, no. ExportPDF is just to create Word (or Excel) documents of existing PDF files. To combine several PDF files into one, you must either Pack PDF or Acrobat DC.

  • Model of printers is not displayed in Preview Mode of overprinting or when exporting to PDF format.

    Hello-

    I have receid a model from a printer which I can see in my INDD file, but it does not appear in Preview Mode of overprinting or when exporting to PDF format.  I would like to be able to export works of art with the model visible to the customer for review and audit purposes.  What settings must change to CO-OPERATE if the model is visible when I export to PDF?

    Check if it is on a layer marked as non-printable, or if the non-printing attribute is checked in the control panel. You will need to change whrever find you.
