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?

  • I need to adjust the dpi when batch exporting a PDF file in format TIFF, Acrobat Pro

    Hi all

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro. I use action tool export batch than several (approx. 425 individual pdf) pdf to TIFF format files. My problem is the resulting TIFF images are of low resolution, and I do not know how to set the export settings to get Adobe to export it to 600 dpi or more.

    If I jump the batch and each pdf file manually I can actually adjust the settings to 600 dpi, but I have too many files to do it manually. Also, if I use the feature to "combine files", bring all within a multi-page pdf, then export to TIFF: I can set it to 600 dpi, but then each file exported with a different file name. Example: "MAP5" gets exported as 'Page x of x' so I would rename of 425 files to their original file name.

    Thanks in advance for your time and your help.

    In the category 'Convert to PDF' of preferences, you can specify the resolution.

  • I can't open a PDF file already created in Acrobat Pro

    I get an error message that says:

    There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired.

    Anyone know how to get around this problem? It makes me crazy!

    In the same vein, where did you get these PDF files? If the e-mail, they are probably corrupt. For example, you can try to open the campus map to http://www.comm.vt.edu/Contact_Find_Us/campus_map.pdf. To test, it is probably best to download, or you can watch a show of browser plugin instead.

  • .PS generate a blank PDF file after upgrading from Acrobat Pro 7 to 9 of the file

    Hi all

    I searched for it in vain, so I come to you now in desperation. My boss asked me track down this error and I have to be honest, I'm a little green with Acrobat Pro. So come the situation I know. My Department, usually use a .ps file to generate a publication as a PDF of the other .ps files. We operate on a network share (drive P :) on Windows XP SP3 machines with the latest updates.

    In Acrobat Pro 7 we can double-click the .ps file that executed the code through Adobe Distiller and a finished PFD at the same file below name would exit in the host directory. But now, after upgrading to Adobe Acrobat 9, this process produces a PDF file with all bookmarks appropriate and no content.

  • Is there a way (yet) to save a PDF file to disk using Acrobat Reader iOS iCloud

    Any suggestions on how to save a file Acrobat Reader in iCloud drive in iOS.  It doesn't seem to be one obvious solution other than emailing myself or using Dropbox. Surprising Adobe has not yet added this feature of Acrobat Reader.

    While we do not currently provide support for the economy to iCloud Drive, iOS 10 will add this feature, and if you install the public beta version of iOS 10, you can try:

    IOS 10, when the document is opened in Acrobat Reader, press the ' share' button to the right of the toolbar at the bottom. Then select "Open in... ' and then select 'Add to iCloud Drive' in the bottom row of the icons.

    It is also interesting to note that with the latest version of Acrobat Reader (even with iOS 9), if you open a file to iCloud by car (via 'more places' in the scene selector), all changes will be saved to iCloud by car.

  • Why the CD player replace default 'use Acrobat Pro' to open pdf files?

    Had to install the CD player to open online pdf files. Already have Acrobat Pro. After the installation of the drive of DC and despite repeated together "use this application to open pdf files" Acrobat Pro, CD player overrides this setting. Seems so new versions of programs... as, for example, Windows 10... are programmed by nerds who seem to think they know more about what a user wants to that user only. Sites now offer pdf files requiring a CD to open, but this version now seems to have the attitude "to hell with what you want to do." I want only to set Acrobat Pro as my default application to open pdf files. How can I do this? And, Adobe, why do you think that you know better than I what I want? < Nothing new, by the way; I had to do to make the script processing in PhotoShop, because it substitutes for my choices for the target files and your technicians had no idea how to solve this problem, with workarounds.

    Hi brucec3514345,

    Acrobat Reader DC has been defined as the once its installed default PDF Viewer, this is a behavior of design. However, you can change the default program, open Acrobat, navigate to the Edit-> Preferences-> General-> click "set as my default pdf reader.

    Click OK to confirm the changes.

    Kind regards

    Hmm, not a subtle difference.

    We did not have many experts PDF or Adobe Illustrator users post advice here; those who might be sprinkled around on other forums, blogs or support sites.

    I noticed when you view the properties of the PDF in Adobe Reader that the PDF has been created with optimization for active fast Web view. This is a feature that allows the progressive rendering of PDF files over a slow connection (http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/optimize-native-pdf-file-sizes.html#...). You can try to re - generate the PDF file with this feature turned off to see if that makes a difference?
