Hello,

If you mean dimensions of the file then it is possible. 
To modify the dimensions of a file, open it in Adobe Scan> Tap "Modify" > Tap " Resize". Or if you mean the size it will occupy on your device storage memory, then you need to use Adobe Acrobat on Desktop to optimize the file. 

Hope that answers your question.

I need to reduce the file size somehow - 2-3 black and white pages are coming in with file size of 5-6 MB.  Not sure why and I don't see any way to reduce the settings to default Black / white, lower resolution, file type, etc.

Hi @Ariel2733688342g3,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with Adobe Scan.

Adobe Scan, by design, makes use of the best quality your device's camera can capture and then process them to create PDFs.

If you want to have an image with a lesser file size, I'd suggest capturing the image using your base camera application with a lower resolution, then importing them together in Adobe Scan to create a PDF from them.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I would like to scan documents for my business (finance-stuff) but the size of my scans is always to large (>1 MB, > 500 KB).

How can I reduce the size for every scan on Android?

Thanks

Hi Cordula,

As per the issue description mentioned above, size of the scans are always larger while scanning the documents, is that correct?

Could you check you have the latest version of the app installed on the device? Also, try turning off text recognition on saved pdf and check if that helps. Refer to the steps given in the following help document for the same: App Settings — Adobe Scan Help

Let us know if you need any help.

How do i make the file size of the pdf docs smaller. They keep coming out as large files over 10 MB

[Tariq Ahmad Dar]

Hi Janemoody

The app does the optimization while creating the file. 

To further optimize the file you may use Adobe Acrobat DC Pro to reduce the file size. https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/using/optimizing-pdfs-acrobat-pro.html

How can i adjust the file size in adobe scan app? Nothing is showing in settings that would help with that. 

[Sankar5CDF]

I also have the same question. Can somebody answer this?

[Admirable_speaker5C37]

We're new to Adobe Scan but we have around 50 people using the system to scan and send documents to a central customer with a link for them to open.   The link can consist of maybe 60 scans.   The customer is complaining that the files are sometimes too large to load into their system, e.g. 71mb.   They're suggesting that we could scan documents in black and white to reduce the file size but I cannot find out how to do this or indeed, any other way of reducing the scan file size.   Any suggestions much appreciated!

Hi Gisby,

In Adobe Scan application, you can change the color to Grayscale before saving the document to PDF. That will save the PDF in black and white. You may check if that works for you.

However, there is no option in the applicaiton to reduce the file size. You will need Acrobat DC application to reduce the file size.

Hi All

How do you scan a document at 100 greyscale using the app? 

Or reduce the file size of the document scanned?

[Ria Tagra]

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response.

In the Adobe Scan application, there is no option to make changes to the presets.

However, by default, the color mode preset contains the "Greyscale" option in the Adobe Scan application.

Let us know if you are referring to something else.

To compress files you can use Adobe Reader Mobile.

To compress a file.

1. Open Acrobat Reader mobile app.
2. Tap on the home icon.
3. Click on three dots... in front of the file.
4. You will get the compress PDF option.

Hello there,

I have the following question: when I use the scan documents function with adobe scan (premium account) I get PDFs with a lot of MB (100 page documents result in 195 MB PDFs!!). Is this "normal"?

In the past I have used adobe scan to convert single JPGs into PDFs and the resulting PDFs never had so many MB.

I would be very thankful if someone could help me out here.

Best wishes

Franziska
