How are you making this PDF file? The other day I helped someone with a bloated PDF file from scanned pages. It was 300+ pages and 25mb. It was also scanned in at 600 dpi resolution. Using PDF optimizer (built in with Acrobat 6), I was able to reduce the dpi to 150, and the file size to 6mb. But remember, it was 300 pages. Your images should look (and print) great at 150 dpi. I have a sample PDF page with text, graphics and images, in color, at at 150 dpi it is 124k. Try scanning your pages at either 150 or 300 dpi, save them as tiffs, and make your PDF from there. Hope this helps.

I scanned in a 16 page report (including text, photos and graphical drawings) and created a .pdf document from this to put online as part of a website. The final 16 page .pdf document was 28 MB file size! But at least it looked good at this size. I have tried compressing this document in several ways, but it looks terrible even at 5.06 MB. I have used the Acrobat Distiller 5, and have also remembered to use "fast web compression", but if I make it any smaller in file size it looks bad and hard to read. I dont think that breaking this document up into smaller ones would look very good, but may need to.....Is there some way to compress this file and still keep decent quality? I have tried the help section, but it is confusing. Many thanks to any one can help! _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
