Reducing file size to specific target (500kb)

Guys,

I have a 6mb file and the lowest I can reduce it is to 2.5M. How can I get this file smaller and hopefully, right around 500KB?

Thanks

Rob

This is a case where you should edit the original file. Do you have images in your pdf?

There are images and it is a file produced by a hired firm. I am reducing it to put in our database for reference. We want smaller files there. I have acrobat pro and hope to do this myself as compared to paying them to simply reduce a file.

Yes, there are images.

What version of Acrobat are you using? It probably can be done with the PDF Optimizer, but the location depends on your Acrobat version.
