How to optimize a lot of PDF files using Distiller (or Acrobat)?
With a surprisingly hard time finding how to optimize an existing batch of PDF files.
I can do it one by one in Acrobat by choosing File > save as other > PDF optimized. And by following the instructions here: help Acrobat | Optimization of PDF files
But we have a few thousand PDFs to treat this way and I can't find any documentation.
Anyone know how or where Adobe hides this information?
Thank you!
Acrobat Pro, try the Action Wizard.

You have the same available settings on Acrobat as well:
- Open the PDF file, and then click file > Primt.
- In the print dialog, click on the printer... button.

You can now find the same screen, including the menu presets.

I have microsoft scan software and a jet hp6500 office printer, scanner etc. How can I scan to a PDF file?
Hello Jim,
I will suggest 2 things. First, go to hp.com site and select your device from the five listed here (http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html).
Second suggestion is that you use the HP software to scan your document, where the native format is PDF.
Let me know if this helps you.

How can I open 2 different pdf files and show them separately on 2 different monitors?
Hi thomasr1953,
You will need to uncheck 'Open documents as tabs... new' under ' Edit > Preferences > general "so that the two PDF files open in separate windows.
Then, you can drag the second file to the second monitor.
