• How to compress a PDF file in batch using Acrobat Pro CC 2015?

  So I upgraded to Acrobat CC 2015 and here, it seems you can't batch compress a PDF file more.

  You can create a new action with the command "Reduce file size" which does not reduce a lot. Most of the PDF files remains the same size.

  Powerful control is inside the tool 'PDF Optimization' and is called 'Advanced optimization' and can compress images etc.. Unfortunately it seems that this option is available on a per file basis.

  

  So, how can I batch compress a PDF file with this new version?

  Use a backup step:

  

  

• Automatically compress a PDF file to be less than a specified file size

  Hello

  In adobe Photoshop, under save for Web, there is a function called optimization of size of the file, which allows you to specify the file size of your choice and will then work on appropriate compression to meet this size.

  Is there a similar feature for multi-page PDF files Adobe Acrobat? Open to the solutions of scripts.

  Thank you

• How to optimize PDF files for mobile phones?

  I am wanting to offer a white paper downloadable report on mobile devices, but do not know how to optimize PDF files so that they:

  1. download quickly

  2 are easy to navigate

  3 display correctly without having to enlarge and scroll left and right

  I know it's doable because my HTC Desire came with a few classic, easily installed PDF eBooks on it. Stories like "Dracula" and a "Tale of Two Cities' etc.

  Any help would be appreciated

  Dave has mentioned very good points to optimize the PDF for mobile devices. Its very easy to do using Acrobat. You can read more here: (I don't know the version that you are, then I'll try to include links for Acrobat 9 and X)

  In addition to this, here are my recommendations:

  Conversion process:

  To create smaller PDF, I'd say this plan from the beginning. As Dave mentioned - the smaller size PDF, you can select this joboption in the conversion dialog box (if you have the original word etc.which document that you create a PDF from). This will automatically make maximum part of the work for you. So, try to keep the smaller size since the beginning of the PDF creation will not give you a lot of trouble later.

  Images:

  You can also create some small thumnails of images and insert them into the original document before conversion. not resize in the document because it still contains the size of the original. Try to compress or resize them outside the document and then finally insert.

  For example: If the image is 640 x 480 and you want only 50 x 50 in the PDF document. Try to resize using some applications like Adobe Photoshop or MS Office Manager pictures (comes in suite MS Office) or a lot of apps available for free online. then, finally, insert them into the document. If you resize them in the document itself, they will always be containing the size of the original.

  Alongside this, try downsampling images at 72 dpi (using optimization PDF Acrobat) and use images poster rather than the videos. These images can having links pointed out the videos on the website.

  PDF size:

  Try to keep the size PDF between 1-2 MBs.

• Define the quality of compression for individual images to export a PDF file?

  When is export a PDF in the ID file, you are given an option to downsample and compress images. My problem is, I want to compress images more than others. For example, a photo in the paper could be much more than a sous-echantillonnees png logo. Of course, I could go and pre-sous - sample each image to the right size in photoshop, but it may involve sort of. Is there a way I could exclude at least one particular image of compression?

  Hi Graham,

  If this is all for a PDF file, which should be light for web downloads and not for print jobs we can do the following:

  1. export a PDF file with different settings Downsample

  2 merge PDFs with Acrobat Pro

  Using the functionality of layers:
  A. import as layer
  B. flatten layers

  To get the different resolutions of individual images, configure the images that you do not want to see with a separate export for re - print.

  If this idea will work or not work depends on the structure of your page layout. And it might be a little automated through scripts. The extent of automation can be low or high. If images that shouldn't be downsampled can be identified by certain rules, legal regimes may or other means such as styles of object applied to the container used frames per etc., it could be high. And also individual export can be done by the script.

  Kind regards

• How to reduce the size of the PDF file on scanned on my PMX922 docs

  I deal with a lot of documents, and I find that when I scan the docs on my MX922 the size of the PDF file is MUCH larger that the size of the original PDF file. That's what I see (on a document page 2):

  (Received) original size: 11 k

  Default scan (Quick Menu): 1061 k

  With compression high (Quick Menu): 116 k

  The Panel of the printer (res 150): 209 k

  Windows scanning app (150 res): 1495 k

  Scanning from the Quick Menu with high Compression seems to be the best, but it still somewhat adds to the file size. It's a big problem so I dal with many GREAT docs. Several times the size of the file increase prevents me from being able to send files. Is there anything else I can do? Does anyone have any suggestions?

• How can I put several together individual pdf files into a new folder?

• When I export a PDF to JPEG, the margins are screwed to the top, but not in the PDF file. Why?

  I did a series of layouts landscape 8.5 x 11 in Illustrator, they all had the same instructions in the PDF file, aligning the different elements of text and vector itself. When I saved and print PDF files, they look good and printed as expected.

  However, when I go to file-> export... and save another version in JPEG format, they are all out either a little cut on the left margin or right margin. It is not consistent that confuses me, also because they look all uniforms in PDF format. Anyone know what I can do in the document or export the setting to prevent this from happening in Illustrator?

  When we realized that what was going on, we just open the PDF files in Acrobat Reader and saved in JPEG format, which takes more time, but is not screw up left or right margins. Any ideas what's happening? Thank you!

  You have to draw everything in alignment with pixels in Illustrator. Otherwise, a line may fall between 2 rows of pixels and you get this effect.

  But let's be honest, I think that JPG is not the best type of file to export from Illustrator. Why you do this?

  If you need to print, use HAVE or PDF/X-4, if you need it for the web or MS Office use PNG, if you need it on MS Office on Windows, use EMF.

  JPG has some kind of lossy compression that makes very visible spotty areas with drawings line Illustrator produces, so I would not recommend to export HAVE them in JPG format at all, unless you have a priority of photography and the work of art is not the object of your file.

• Optimization of PDF files

  I run through the optimization of my PDF files.  I see a good compression and I am very happy.

  My question:

  I have a ton of files with different files in them.  MSG in format PDF, Doc, etc.

  Can I run a batch optimization on all folders, but only target PDF files?  I have many many files in there to simply separate PDF files

  Of course, you can optimize with Acrobat XI... It's you can't do in batch and tell him not to treat the files not PDF. That you can do with third-party tools, but I'm not sure that you can use to optimize the files. You will need a search.

  And no, you cannot optimize a file using JS.

• combination of files tif into a pdf file? It is their demolition.

  When I combine a set of files tif high resolution in PDF format using the larger file size option, which so-called "will keep the size of the file original and quality" but in fact, it causes a ton of compression noise and reduces the file size a lot. The PDF is more a quality print. Is it possible to combine the hair into a pdf file without losing quality or turn them into jpg first?

  It's almost certainly turn it into JPEG that's the problem. You can choose the compression settings. But if it's for the press, I would never use the automatic conversion to PDF Acrobat format. I would like to use Photoshop (one at a time) or InDesign (all together).

• Adobe Distiller ALWAYS encrypts PDF files it generates?

  The answer to this question could help me decide how to proceed with my free physics book that is written by using the dvi-ps-pdf path to LaTeX and is available free online.

  Is it true that when a pdf file is generated by Adobe Distiller and put online, Google can not read the text that it contained, because the text is always encrypted in the PDF?

  I don't seem to be able to disable encryption.

  Or is there a way to disable encryption in Adobe Distiller XI, for example by enforcing the compatibility with Acrobat 4.0 (PDF 1.3) or with another method?

  Encryption requires the entry of a password. You entered a password for open Action or restrict access to the PDF content?

  PDF format uses compression established standards and does not use any secret code.

  Have you looked at the preferences for Distiller:

  

  I still see PDF documents using Google and they include even some preview images.

• How can I change background color on a pdf file?

  I am new to this, but I really want to learn. Help, please!

  Hi Tammy,

  First of all, you must realize that Photoshop is not designed to edit PDF files. If you want to somehow major you should really use Acrobat DC, I think Illustrator does as well, and even if I don't use InDesign, it can also. . Photoshop shines when the PDF file is the single image. You can save your work in Photoshop to PDF and retain the same quality and structure would have received you by using Photoshop's default save format PSD.

  That is, if you fill out the dialog box correctly.

  To keep the layer and channel structures, you must keep editing in Photoshop as it functions in the Save as PDF dialog box. Most of the PDF files created outside of Photoshop will not have been saved this way and will be opened as a single layer in Photoshop.

  

  Also, if you want your work to look nice you can afford to compress the image in the PDF file in jpeg format. Instead, you must use a medium without loss of compression. Like this

  

  Best quality don't re - sample at all. It is a little annoying, but should not be aware of these things to understand what you can and can't do.

  To actually change a background color without making a complex selection, you can do this.

  

  Excuse the product placement, it was just a PDF I was reading at the time. Hope that helps
