There is a way to do this from the print dialog box. To reduce the file size of a PDF generated with OS X's print to PDF feature, choose the Reduce File Size Quartz Filter from the Color Sync options in the print dialog.
I have also used PDF Shrink <http://www.apagoinc.com/prod_home.php?prod_id=30> It does a great job. I would see if she has the original text file and use that instead of a scanned article. A link to a magazine or newspapers website she has written for would work best. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harry Jacobson-Beyer Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 8:52 AM To: Macusergroup Subject: [MacGroup] pdfs and web pages I'm creating a web page for a writer friend. She wants samples of her writing on the web page and has scanned in whole articles from magazines and newspapers. For the magazine scans, she even scanned the covers. The problem is some of the scans are so large they take forever to load. Is there a way to scan the articles and keep the size of the resulting pdfs to a bare minimum?
