Dateigrösse eines Adobe Formulars

Hi @IlkaL5731,

Thank you for reaching out with your question.

There could be multiple reasons why the file size is growing. Open the file in Acrobat, click on File > Save as Other > "Optimized PDF...", and you will see the PDF Optimizer window. Click on Audit space usage...

Every time you fill the form or make any changes check what is changing and that will give us a clue. 

How to Reduce the PDF File Size

1. Save As a New File:

•      Instead of using the standard ‘Save’ option, create a new file using ‘Save As’. This process rewrites the entire PDF, removing redundant data and potentially reducing the file size.

2. Use ‘Save As Optimized’:

•      In Adobe Acrobat Pro, go to File > Save As Other > Optimized PDF. This feature allows you to audit the file’s space usage and selectively compress or remove unnecessary elements.

3. Reduce Signature Appearance Size:

•      If your digital signature includes an image, ensure it’s optimized for web use (e.g., a low-resolution PNG). Large images can significantly increase the file size.

4. Limit Overlapping Content Removal:

• ·     When sanitizing or redacting PDFs, choose to retain overlapping content to prevent the file from being rasterized, which can increase the file size.

5. Avoid Multiple Saves:

• ·      Repeatedly saving the PDF can accumulate incremental changes. Try to minimize the number of saves or use ‘Save As’ to consolidate changes.
