How to reduce the size of the file

I am trying to efax a file and it says the file is too large.  is there a way to reduce the size of the file?

Depending on the type of file, it may be possible to compress but I don't know if it will work with an efax (but I guess it's worth a try).  Here's how: http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-vista/compress-and-uncompress-a-folder-or-file-in-windows-vista/.

Another option also according to the type of file is to convert the file to a different file type which takes less space (such as the conversion of a TIFF file in a JPG file).  It isn't exactly the same thing (the image quality is not quite as good, but rarely can anyone tell the difference.

Another option is to split the file into several separate files that are small enough to work and send them separately and ask the recipient to back move or treat the separate transmissions if it's just a matter of sending a few pages at a time instead of all of them at once.

These are really the only ways to resolve the problem (other than to find another e-fax provider that accepts larger files).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    Hi speck300,

    If you want to reduce the file size of a PDF document, you must use Acrobat. If you do not have Acrobat, you're certainly welcome to try for http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. Acrobat Pro, there are several options to reduce the size of the file, including the file > save as other > PDF of reduced size and file > save as other > PDF optimized.

  • How to reduce the file size of PDF in a personalized way?

    Adobe Acrobat is installed on my Macbook Pro. I plan to buy it. When to convert a Word document or a PowerPoint to PDF it almost doubles the size of the file. I can't find any menu where I can reduce the size of file in a personalized way. There is the button "reduce file size", but clicking on this file size remains large and doesn't not allow any personal reductions. What is your policy on that? Thank you.

  • How to reduce the size of the records Quicktime file?

    On my Mac, they take as much space as 1 GB for a film record or a screen for 2 minutes.

    iPad records take up much less space and are of a higher quality.

    Anyone know how to reduce the size of the file, or at least tell me why they use so much space? I have only 128 GB.

    A big thank you to you all, good people.

    You can compress any file using the Windows 7 built in zip program. For the pease method see:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Compress-and-uncompress-files-zip-files?SignedIn=1 .

    Will depend on the size of the file compressed on the original files - it's maybe not as small as you want.

  • How can I reduce the file size?

    Hi all

    I'm running into a bit of a problem here, and I can't find a workaround. I was hired to create a few small icons for a TeamSpeak 3 channel and my files must be 16 x 16 pixels and under 8 KB size, otherwise TeamSpeak will not accept the picture.

    I don't want to degrade the quality of the icons that I made, and the smallest I could get the file size was 16 k with 10 KB for JPG and PNG. All the icons are color. I can get a few simple icons to fall under 8KB, but there are a few others that I can't.

    What is the best way to reduce the size of the file on the small photos, and how to get the file size less than 8 KB? TeamSpeak seems to accept any image format, so pretty much everything is allowed. This one is over my head when it comes to small technical details.

    Thank you in advance! (:

    Hi donaldgroomphotography,

    Open the Image in Photoshop, change the size or pixels according to the requirement.

    Then save for web on the file menu.

    You can choose the JPEG format.

    Hello

    Reader can be used only to display files pdf so you can not perform any operation on it.

    If you have Acrobat, then you can go to Acrobat > save as other > reduced pdf file

    You can also go to Acrobat > save as other > optimized pdf and then click on "Use of space Audit" button to know what takes up space in the pdf file and adjust accordingly.

  • How to reduce the size of the jpg file, not the size of pixel?

    I prepare images for the web and I really have 2 questions: one on gifs and the other on the jpg files.
    My standard procedure is to reduce the image to the desired at 600 dpi pixel dimensions
    It gives me a little crisp image. can I use this what if the file size is quite low (I try for less than 600 KB) or convert to gif with the save for Web and devices.

    Here are my 2 questions (I'll count this solved with each answer)

    (1) when I convert a gif that I have 4 boxes: one with the original size, the other 3 with options but, often, the options are too low resolution for me how can I change my 3 options starting with a higher res gif?

    (2) if I try to reduce the size of the jpg in the image size box I put the lower resolution (400, 300), which reduces the pixel dimensions and the size of the file, but I don't want to change the pixel dimensions. If I reset the dimensions in pixels to the size I want, even if it is a lower resolution that the file size does not change. How to reduce the size of the jpg file using only the resolution, the pixel dimensions not?  PS I tried to play with the checking and unchecking the 3 small boxes (scale of styles, constrain the proportions and re - sample) but nothing has worked.

    GIF is not a type of large file, especially if you want a sharp image. What are the dimensions of the pixel?

    For the web, it is immaterial that the dpi is, only the last pixel dimensions, so once you have that you want to use 'save for Web and devices' and you can reduce quality - 100% being the maximum and 0% being the lowest. I wouldn't save anything less than 55%. For an image of 600 KB, the size must be large enough.

  • 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 to reduce the size of the file of a picture with Windows 7?

    Can I reduce the file size of a picture with Windows 7 to make it easier to send multiple photos in an email?  Also some websites limit the file size of a picture to post on the site.

    There are many ways to do it.  But if you want to do only with Windows 7, without having to download any programs to deal with, then your best bet is the built-in paint program.

    1. Right click on the image you want to reduce, and choose "open with > paint ' in the menu.
    2. In the painting, choose file > save as (or press F12 to shortcut).
    3. In the save box, choose the menu file type JPEG downwards and the name of your image.  JPEG is the most compressed (smaller) size of the images.

    I'm trying to reduce the file size of a jpeg file, but the dialog box under image > image size reflects a much smaller that the file is. I saved the image after resampling and simplistic image, the pip size reduced to 72 and lowered the low quality only to see the minimum file size reduction. Why the dialog box in photoshop gives me a different file size than my computer and how do I solve this problem? Thank you!

    The Image Size dialog box dialog box shows the uncompressed size.

    Your operating system (Explorer/Finder) shows the size compressed. (size on the disk)

    If you use save for Web, you can see the compressed size, but also an overview.
