REDUCE FILE SIZE with Acrobat Pro

Report · Jul 28, 2014

Hi everyone!

I created a epk for a rock band with Illustrator then I created one pdf that contains the all three pages with Acrobat Pro (I downloaded the trial because it was just for this occasion) This epk is a pdf file with 3 pages, some pictures and hyperlinks.

I need to send the epk to the band and they want a reduced size one. The original is 8.3 M but obviously it's too big to be sent via email.

I have been trying with the option SAVE AS - REDUCED SIZE PDF but it doesn't work! Still the same size.

I am new to acrobat so maybe I am missing something.

HELP!

Thanks

Hi michelab,

You can also try choosing Save As > Optimized PDF. There are various settings in that dialog box that you can manipulate to bring down the file size. Here's the Help topic on that dialog box, with information about the various settings:http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/optimizing-pdfs-acrobat-pro.html

Please let us know how it goes.

Best,
