What happened to the Document > Reduce File Size command that used to be in Acrobat 9?

For that matter, I don't see the PDF Optimizer command either.

What are the methods used in Acrobat X to reduce file size?

    George,

    Thanks for your reply. Our posts must have crossed each other about the command being moved to the file menu. Do you know if PDF Optimizer is still available for Acrobat X?


    Yes, choose "File > Save As > Optimized PDF...", as opposed to "File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF...".

    Hello Sir,

    I am working on online graphics and acrobat is really a great tool to minimize my tasks.. but I am having a problem with reducing the file size of a pdf. I want to reduce the file but not affecting its quality... I am actually using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and I cannot find the solution on this problem? can you please advice? Ive

    used Acrobat 9 before and it seemed to be better than this version - I was able to reduce the size of a pdf without affecting the quality of an artwork/image etc.

    Thanks a lot and hoping to hear from you so soon!

    Use the File > Save As command.

    I must be doing something wrong.  When I follow the instructions for reducing a pdf file, it actually comes out bigger that when I started.  Are there additional settings I need to adjust to reduce the file?  My goal is to prepare files so that I can e-mail them and post to Internet databases.

      I just found that the Reduce File Size command has been moved and hidden under the File > Save As menu. Still haven't figured out where the PDF Optimizer command went or even if it is still available in Acrobat X.
