PDF size

[Mrs Ecka]

I print reports from MYOB and Quickbooks to pdf. They used to be about 25kb to 80kb, now they are 450kb for one page and 4500kb for 3 pages

How can I reduce this size back to what it was previously.

I am using Acrobat Reader DC

I have recently purchased a new computer and changed from Windows 7 to Windows 10

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks  Erica

What is the name of the PDF printer you are using?

[Mrs Ecka]

Microsoft Print to PDF using windows 10

That isn't an Adobe product, and Acrobat Reader is not an editor - it cannot make changes to PDF files. If you pay for Adobe Acrobat you get a printer driver called "Adobe PDF" with various size options. If you pay for Acrobat Pro you also get something called PDF Optimizer which can sometimes reduce sizes.

Maybe you used to have Adobe PDF?

Thank you. I will investigate that and let you know

Found the problem. Seems to be a common problem with Windows 10 and Microsoft print to PDF.   Solution is to use a 3rd party product.  Thanks for your assistance
