Hmm... didn't know that. The problem is that when I create a PDF one way, it creates a smaller PDF than another method. For example, we are in the process of converting TIFFs of scanned documents (that are no longer available as word processing files, some dating back to 1891) to PDFs so that the public may download a single PDF rather than view a page at a time using a server-based TIFF viewer. What I have been doing is to clean up the scanned pages (deskew, remove artifacts, etc) and PDF the first page. I then drag the remaining TIFFs into the PDF. At times, this PDF can be up to 250Mb. I then "refry" the PDF and it will come down to a more reasonable 60Mb (still large but often these documents are 300 - 400 pages in length).
I have tried a couple of other methods as well such as PDF'ing each page and using the Document>Insert to insert them but this is a much longer process because of all the PDFs I need to create. I think this method produces a smaller method than the above method but the process is much longer and with about 8,000 documents to go, any speed increase we can find is to our advantage.
it large image PDFs is your problem you should try our PDFCompressor - this is exactly what it's meant for. You can actually use it for the entire TIFF->PDF process (OCR option comes with the product). There is an evaluation version @
