• 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?

  Hi 1wwjdbro,

  We can set the PDF to HIGH compression option in the utility of digitization of IJ and also select the image digitized transfer compression to reduce the file size of the PDF file. To do this, please follow these steps:

  1. open the utility of scanning IJ.

  2. in the Scan from Canon IJ utility window that opens, click SETTINGS... at the bottom right of the window. The settings dialog box is displayed.

  3. click on the SCAN of DOCUMENT option in the left pane of the window.

  4 in the right pane window, look for the box to COMPRESS SCANNED IMAGES to be TRANSFERRED in the Scan Options section and check it.

  5. then, in the SAVE the SETTINGS section, find the FORMAT of DATA field and ensure that PDF or PDF (multi-page) is selected, and then click the SETTINGS button to the right of the field.

  6. in the window that opens, find the COMPRESSION PDF section, then select TOP from the drop-down list. Click OK to close the window. You will be taken back to the SETTINGS window.

  7. once all settings have been selected in the SETUP window, click the OK button at the bottom of the window to save the changes. The IJ Scan Utility main screen is displayed.

  8. click the DOCUMENT button. Housing starts scanning. Click CANCEL to cancel the scan if necessary. The scanned images are saved to the location of the selected folder previously specified in the SETTINGS... window.

  I hope this helps!

  My pdf file is too large to email.  How can I reduce the size of the file once the PDF file is saved?

  Emailing is not the best way to share PDF files, especially if they are large. Transfer to one of the free services such as Dropbox and send the URL of the file.

• How to reduce the size of a PDF file without loss of sharp graphics

  Hi, I work in Acrobat X Pro.  I have combined a graphics file and need to reduce the size.  Original graphics were created in PScs6 and recorded in the form of .jpg.  What would be the best way to reduce the size of the PDF file and while now the clarity of graphics?  Advice would be appreciated.

  When you deal with graphics, you're talking almost always reduce the resolution or color depth. Much depends on the graphics themselves. You might check one of the graphs and see what are the colors and resolution. The setting of 300 dpi is fine in most cases, unless you are wanting people to zoom. For many applications, a color depth of 256 is good rather than millions of colors. If these are acceptable options, remember that your graphics card is defined in this way. You can try the option optimize to see if you can improve the size and still have sufficient resolution (file > save as > optimize PDF).

  How can I reduce the size of file to an existing PDF file?

  Hi oneidatourism,

  You will need Acrobat to reduce the size of a PDF file. If you do not have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  In Acrobat, choose file > save as other > PDF of reduced size.

  Best,

• How to decrease the size of the PDF file without reducing the quality and links?

  How to decrease the size of the PDF file without reducing the quality and links?

  Michael and Phil,

  Your ability to reduce the file without diminishing its quality depends on the quality required for their intended use. If these are intended for viewing on screen, then high resolution pictures can be re sampled or changing the resolution without real change is the quality, as long as the user can say. Number of files use subsets of fonts or the incorporations of fonts. Sometimes you can remove subsets of fonts or embedding the fonts if the font will be on the user's system. Subsets of fonts can save space, but if the pdf is a result of several different sources, desincorporation policies and incorporating a copy of the policy can save space.

  Honestly, the size of 2 MB file is not the problem it once was. However, maybe the pdf not by e-mail at all. There are players on a server as well as a link sent to each user.

• pdf creation of the SAME SIZE of two pdf files

  I'm probably not follow instructions very well, and I'm not finding an explanation in the documentation so I hope someone can help me here.

  I have two pdf files. one is a cover of a magazine page, and the other is a page within the magazine where my work is mentioned. I want to combine these two PDF in a SINGLE pdf, but in a way that both the pdf is the same size. I feel like I am missing a setting somewhere for it as whenever I do this inside page is printed on the pdf document to half the size of the cover page.

  I tried to save out in png and making sure they are the same size and resolution, but it prints (except Preview) with white around the borders.

  I tried recording outside in optimized PDF and affecting the sizes 8 x 11 and 72 dpi but this then prints out Acrobat as a very pixelated in the document that are not readable.

  can someone help me with a step by step on how this can be done? It seems that I should just be able to open two random pdf files in the menu CREATE and then tell Acrobat to print to a specified size (this would be easy!), but I must be missing something.

  TIA

  Hotwheels 222,

  It might help to think that PDF is a container that can have many things such as texts, photos, graphics, vector elements, etc. all wrapped up in it.

  Normally, the content is created in another application such as InDesign, Illustrator, MS Word or many other applications. In the application you create a blank document and add or place images, type text in any font you want to place or create some elements of vector (if the application has actually vector tools)and even other multimedia such as audio and video as long as the application supports,

  Photos can all have a different resolution, vector elements have no resolution (I'll explain), the text can be in many different fonts, and they all keep their distinct characteristics within the PDF file.

  A PDF file created from an application like Photoshop will be just a resolution, because the PS is a pixel in the image editor and a PS document can have only one resolution.

  .. .the idea that two adobe products cannot communicate Acrobat to photoshop in terms of a resolution of pdf in photoshop seems very awkward... Once again, as a PDF file may have a lot of pictures with different resolutions, even if the PS could get this info (which may not) what PS resolution would decide to use? PS sheets it is up to the user to decide based on what they want their final production can be.

  You mention a document you have this "seems no inserted images" and "it appears as if there is an image"?

  The pdf of the cover are you referring?  The PDF producer is "Adobe Acrobat Image Conversion plug-in 10.0" is a tip out of 'Test Name screen' and thought it came from Photoshop.

  While possible, this document was created entirely in Photoshop, it is also likely that it was created in another application such as InDesign, exported from here in PDF and then PDF etc. was opened in Photoshop that rasterizes the content and flattened into an image file with the resolution you have chosen when opening in PS and then saved as just an image in PDF format. The graphic designer who created this probably did this because they did not want to give you a print quality PDF that you can try to extract the elements of.

  You mentioned that you thought that the doc was in Adobe Illustrator (AI) HAVE is primarily a tool for creating vector allowing also to the pixel for inclusion based raster images (with a resolution of specific pixels) to be included in a document of AI if wanted.  Strictly speaking, vector objects do not have a resolution. They are based on mathematics,

  He said essentially, put a point to such & such X, coordinated, now, put an another punch to another X, Y coordinates, it takes account of the arc or angle between the two points and said to draw a straight line, or draw a curved line, etc. Since it is only the mathematical instructions. This can be as large as you want and the relationship between the 2 points and the arc of the curve or line will dictate how the extended line or curve will be redrawn enlarged.

  Vectors are 'independent of the resolution' you can draw a vector logo to 1 x 1 inches and enlarge it to 50 x 50 inches or even as important as a home and it will always print crisp and clean. Notice, that this applies only to vector content in your document; pixel content is blocked in the resolution, it was created in the.

  To inspect the elements in a PDF document using the object Inspector in Acrobat Pro. Since a PDF file can contain several different objects, you have to click exactly on each object to get information about the selected object. So if you had 10 photos in your PDF you must select each in turn and he would give you the size in pixels, resolution, color space and profile, etc if you have clicked on the text, it will identify the police. It is well named, an Inspector of the object rather than a Document Inspector. Try it yourself with the different PDF files that you may encounter. If for example, it gives you the exact same info (resolution, pixel dimensions etc.) bit matter when you click, then you're probably dealing with a simple image. If you get the dimension in different pixels, resolutions when you click in different areas, you're dealing with a PDF file that had separated the distinct elements.

  I don't see why I shouldn't be able to get a document that is located at 17.7 x 22.9 to 72 dpi up to one that is 8 x 11 at 300 ppi.

  In Photoshop, go to the Image, the Image Size menu. This will show the dimensions in pixels (width & height) at the top. If you don't interpolate (resample) Photoshop can only put the same number of pixels in different size documents. When you press it same number of pixels in a smaller resolution doc increases. When you place the same number of pixels in a larger doc and the resolution fails.

  Don't forget, that the resolution is PPI (Pixels Per Inch). If you do the math it starts to make sense.

  Below notes that each dialog box features the same EXACT pixel dimensions.

  In the first box, it shows the 1275 x 1650 pixels in a document of 17.708 22.917 x inches. This gives a resolution of 72 DPI.

  In the second box, I changed the size of the document to 8.5 x 11 inches and pixels of 1275 x 1650 even now increase the resolution to 150 DPI.

  In the third box, I changed the resolution to 300 DPI and the pixels of 1275 x 1650 even now decrease the size of the document to 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

      

  If you check the resampling, Photoshop will interpolate (resample) image to throw the pixels, or adding pixels, but there is no magic involved and the results are never as good as we could hope.

  Like Goldilocks and the 3 bears, some things are better when they are 'fair '.

• 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.)

• Cannot resize the PDF file

  Hello. I bought a new 6830 yesterday and I have a problem of scaling a PDF file to print. When I got back the PDF file, the image is reduced in the file, but prints in original format. Today, I visited the Adobe site and found a page called Acrobat PDF Help/Basic printing tasks. According to Adobe, when I open the print dialog window, I can change the page to shrink or expand by setting the size I choose in the scale box:

  

  Custom scale  Resizes the page by the percentage you specify.

  However, my window of dialogue has no custom scale option. I'm starting to wonder if this printer allows resizing. Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  I installed the driver, Officejet Pro 6830 and it allows resizing in Adobe Reader 11.0.10.  I suggest to update to the latest version of Adobe Reader.

• Cannot get data author and the title for the pdf files display in the Explorer of Windows 7

  How can I get Windows 7 explore to display the author information and the title for the pdf files?  I can get columns to display for the author and the title of information, but they are empty and when I click it, I get the message "not specified."   I use Acrobat to create and read pdf files.  Pdf files, I create include the author and title information in the metadata, so I know the information are here. When I used Windows XP, I could hover over a pdf file and metadata would leap upward with the author and title, but Windows 7 does not display no information in the pop up more than Tpye/size/update even if the metadata author data and the title has been entered.

  nothing to see here...
