Should I worry about my PDF file size?

Hello

I create a compilation of documents and images that will be distributed in PDF format. End-users will receive the PDF engraved on a DVD.

I did a calculation approximate and based on the number of images, I'm including, I expect the final PDF 300 MB. While I can reduce the size of this file by reducing the quality of the images, I'd rather not. Instead, I can break just the PDF in several small PDF.

A normal person would be able to view a PDF of 300 MB on their computer without any problem? Or would they have a moment difficult loading / display / navigation in the PDF?

Thank you!

Phil,

In my view, based on your explanation of the project, I think it would be appropriate that you divide this file into smaller segments.  In General, the average end user in a commercial environment might have something minimal to exceptional difficulties in dealing with a 300 MB PDF, including an optical drive.  This is compounded by the fact that not all end users can be guaranteed to have even an available DVD - ROM drive.  I know that sounds crazy to most of us, but after handing out thousands of discs like yours, it is a fact.  It's a minor problem, however.

The biggest problem has to do with the resources of general systems, including RAM and CPU speed, and the rate of playback of a DVD or a hard drive.  This can lead to problems with player seeming to freeze while it opens the file, the wrong answer when moving from one page to another, etc.  Unless someone is already working with Acrobat, they're probably pretty unfamiliar with the realities of PDF image with the top of page counts and sizes of large file, as well as have reader reply in this way.

Since your main concern seems to be accesibiltiy wide and ease of use, I think that you will get the best results with files that are closer to the range of 50-100 MB, with a preference for the former given the distribution of DVD data format.

Hope that helps!

  • Calculation of Quickie of the export-PDF file size?

    I have a document Indesign CS4 (816 pages, 3.5 GB) I want to export in PDF format in less than 200 MB pieces. Is it possible to request an approximate exported PDF, to save size guess them where do breaks and having to export several times in InDesign?

    Well, your 500 x 250mm @ 300 dpi images are about 60 MB

    What I would do is export the PDF file as a whole, then I use the extract Document pages and select as simple Pages.

    Then you have the PDF pages separately. You can then select and group them in your Finder or Explorer.

    When you select a bunch of files, you should get a reading on what file size they are.

    You can then say to tuft of 180 MB of using Acrobat files to combine into a single pdf file.

    Reducing the size of PDF file requires Acrobat (one way is by choosing File > save as > PDF of reduced size). If you do not have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • PDF file size

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z (network) that I use at home to scan to a PDF file, and I know exactly how to move the cursor from the 'Smaller' in 'best quality '.

    However, the size of PDF files are far too large when the picture quality is acceptable, and if I move the cursor to reduce the size of the image would become unacceptable.  It is impossible to scan a legal document of more than a few readable pages without producing a volume of file too large for email.  I have to divide these scanned documents into pieces of 3-4 page.

    A simple disclosure form HOA, to 220 DPI and the cursor in the middle of balance, a page produces a PDF 699ko.  I used the other scanners printer to work (different brands) to the same 200 DPI which translates documents very clear less than 100 K per page.

    In my view, that there is something wrong with the algorithm of scan-to-PDF of HP.  The problem must be due to a qualified (or defective) software design.  That you need HP or third-party developer (and developer staff supervision) take this seriously - compare HP vs other scanners brand PDF files - and update the drivers from HP for this problem?

    Thanks for the reply.  My problem was scanning and sending 10 or more pages of legal documents, that came out of the scanner to approximately 700 KB per page with the last parameters of previous compromise.  The 10-page document has been an unacceptable 7Mo.

    However, after posting the problem I went on a process of trial and error throrough with 200 vs 300 dpi, 0 to 100% increments of cursor, and p.c. / color / gray.  I got an acceptable 200 KB per page by using the grayscale 200 dpi and weight 90% - 10% for smaller size.  I have my paper of 10 pages to an acceptable 2 MB.

    But I have always problems with contracts of 30-50 page where each page must be initialled by four parties, scanning and return back several times.

    Kind regards.

  • Final draft of 9 to PDF - file size problem

    I'm having a problem with file size create a PDF of the Final draft of 9. The file size is normally 300KB or more - but the file underway, more than any, I've done before, will only record to 29 MB - MUCH too large to email. Any ideas? I don't want to compress or use a service file - sharing project final normally saves a size easily, then I would understand this.

    Thank you!!!

  • Printing more than one page in a single PDF file size

    Hi there, some background everything first: I have a Mac with Mac OS 10.9.5, and I am trying to print from Adobe Reader v11.0.10 PDF files that contains pages with various page formats (some pages are letter, other legal size) in the same document. I have a printer Brother Laser (HL-6180DW) which has several trays and a tray for each paper size.

    The printer can automatically can print documents containing multiple pages with different paper sizes for the for the paper tray right when I use Microsoft Word to print. However, if I have a PDF file and you try to print from Adobe Reader, all pages come out like 8 x 11. I selected the option in the reader print dialog that says "Paper Source to choose the PDF page size" but this does not seem to make a difference. However this same document on a windows 8.1 uses the same version of Adobe Reader and print to the same printer, prints the document with the different paper sizes automatically if I select this option to print. I tried this same test with 3 or 4 different PDF files from different sources, and the results are always the same - works on the PC, does not work on Mac. Would appreciate any ideas on how to make this work the Mac.

    I found this answer posted today:

  • I need to reduce PDF file size

    The size of my PDF files are great to email

    You can reduce the size of PDF using Acrobat files.

    However, the sending of electronic documents as attachments to email is never a good idea; they can get lost, badly routed or damaged.  And of course, there is the size limit.

    Much better to use a service (Adobe Cloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive,...) file sharing, then send the download shared by e-mail link.

  • [js - CS4] How do I know a PDF file size

    Hi all!

    I export a PDF document and let me know the file size of the generated document.

    How can I do?

    Thank you

    Ivan

    Of course, I was wrong:

    As Marijan just tell me:

    File.Length
    Data type: number
    The core JavaScript classes
    The size of the file in bytes.
    Can be set for a file that is not open, in which case it truncates the keys or the file with 0 bytes to the new length.

  • Letters disappear when the PDF file size reduction.

    I have a PDF file of several page that contains bitmap images and vector of text. It was originally created in InDesign and exported in PDF format. When I exported the PDF file at 300 dpi, all rendered beautifully. However, when I reduced the quality of image by optimizing PDF (all images of 80 dots per inch at high quality), random letters of my text disappered. Weird, since they are vectors and should not be affected by lowered anyway ppp settings.

    The gaps are where letters should be, and I can even use my text cursor to copy and paste the missing letters in a text file, for example. So basically, all the data is still there, just letters are not displayed. This is not resolved by zooming, and unfortunately, the letters also are not displayed when the document is printed. I have all my embedded fonts. Would be - this due to the fact that I use a light font? (Verlag Extra light). The letters that will miss seem to be completely at random. I have Acrobat Professional 8.

    Rather than use PDF Optimization, try using a lower export setting in InDesign and see if it works (use press or quality print settings but less than the resolution of the image.)

  • I disabled csturstil because the kernel task ate my treatment. Should I worry about my lack of SIP?

    All sudden yesterday my computer has significantly slowed down. After checking the activity monitor, it appeared that the core tasks consumed a huge amount of processing power. A few hours of research and I was able to stop the task of kernel by disabling the csturstil. My computer is running fast, once again, but after some research more than I am worried that I have disabled the SIP and therefore my self more vulnerable to malware.

    Two things to note. From my research, I gathered that these will be useful. Any idea would be appreciated, thanks.

    My extensions - many fixes called for this step)

    4. starting at the root of the drive (not home folder): - resources System Library - Extensions - IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext (content alt-click/view) - Plugins - ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext - display content--- find the name in step 3 and move it to a folder that you can find again if needed.

    (3. reboot and you're done (other than activation of SIP).) -I'm not a IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext - should I worry?

    FOR THE RECORD 1.

    FOR THE RECORD 2.

    False advice who followed you were irresponsible, bad and dangerous. You must re - activate the SIP and then reinstall OS X. If you still have problems after that, ask for other instructions.
