Adobe Optimize Tools for Multiple Files

New Here ,

Hi,

I notice that Adobe Optimize Tools for multiple files can be done via the Action Wizard but at every start and end of the optimizing process, it will prompt you to select options for the "As Is" at the start and "Saved Name" at the end. And if optimize 20 files, then, we have to do this 20 times at the start and the end of the optimize process for each files. 

I notice that for the Reduce File Size option, you do not have to do this for multiple files. Can Adobe have the same feature done for Optimize File as well? as this could really save time and effort to check when optimizing alot of files. 

 

Thanks in advance,

Marcous

Not sure about this save step. Do you mind sharing on how I can do this please. If this could automate the options for the "As Is" at the start and "Saved Name" at the end for each file that I am optimizing that would be great.

Not sure what you mean but below here is the steps that I have done to optimize multiple files:

        1. Without opening any PDF file; go to Tools > scroll all the way down > Action Wizard
        2. Select Optimize Scanned Documents in the Action List (right)
        3. Click Add Files and select the files that you wanted to optimize.
        4. Click Start
        5. Files will be optimize one by one, when prompted select Leave As Is for all and click OK
        6. When file has been optimized, it will ask you to save the file; you either maintain the same file name and it will replace current file or rename it to save file as a new file
        7. Steps 5 to 6 will need to be done for every file that has been added to be optimized

 

As mention earlier, my problem is with steps 5 & 6 as you have to repeat it for every file that you want to optimize. Any way around it?

You can't edit the predefined actions. Create a copy and edit the copy.

You should lern the usage of the Action Wizard.

Hi Bernd,

Thank you. I was able to create a new Action and added Optimize PDF & Save

defaultmzk8hmrsvz5q_2-1626085256559.png

I have also set the Save settings to:

defaultmzk8hmrsvz5q_3-1626085280536.png

When I tried to optimize 2 PDF files, the output files got bigger instead.

And if I try to Optimize the same files via Action Wizard > Optimize Scanned Documents, the output file will get really small. Did I do something wrong here? Please advice.

 

Thanks,

Marcous

Hi Bernd,

Regarding the setting for the Optimizer. We did not change the settings when we optimize 1 file and it work well, where it optimize the file from a 60MB file to a 5MB file. We did this using the Optimize Scanned Pages button when I open up a PDF file:

defaultmzk8hmrsvz5q_0-1626251213141.png

OR when I select Optimize Scanned Documents from the Tools > Action Wizard

defaultmzk8hmrsvz5q_1-1626251358110.png

 

My question is do I still need to play with the settings of the Optimizer for multiple files? coz what I did above on using the Wizard Tool to create a new Action to optimize the files is to do the same as when I optimize 1 file, but this time around, it will be for multiple files. 

 

Hope you can help me on this as there's alot of settings to play around with in the Optimizer.

 

Thanks,

Marcous
