Are you optimizing / reducing the size of the PDF with Acrobat after
you generate it?



Mathieu,

Have a look at this presentation for recommendations on Job Options
(p. 65 and on), especially for graphics settings:

(or http://tinyurl.com/bz2yg )

You might also consider Shlomo Perets's articles:
http://www.microtype.com/PDFBestPractices.html

There are a number of things that can increase PDF file size.  Your 
content of mostly screenshot .pngs (which are generally small files) 
suggests that graphics may not be at fault in your situation.  For 
example, if you turn on Named Destinations for all paragraphs in FM's 
PDF setup, your PDF file size may become significantly larger.  That's 
where the suggestions by Art  Richard (optimizing, using Save As to the 
same name) can work to reduce bloat, by eliminating unused destination 
information.


HTH,

Converting Word Tables to unstructured Frame

2010-10-22 Thread Alan T Litchfield
In the end the most efficient method I have found has been to paste  
tables as text with tab separated values and convert those to a table  
in Frame using a predefined table format.

This often requires further adjustment, however. The added benefit is  
that you lose Word's formatting and various other undesirables.

Regards
Alan

Adobe Acrobat PDF Tracker Question

2010-10-22 Thread theboggette
Whenever I open a PDF from Adobe Tracker, it automatically opens in Reader 
instead of Pro.? But Reader doesn't have the same options as Pro.? 
?
Anyone know how to reset this so that Pro opens as the default?? All my windows 
file associations are set correctly and show that it should be opening in Pro.? 
But when I click, it's Reader.? If I have Pro already open when I click, it 
opens in Pro.? But if I don't, Reader opens.
?
Help?
?
Trish
?
PS.? I have Acrobat Pro 9.4, and Reader 9.4 on Windows XP.





Graphics Average Weight

2010-10-22 Thread David Boss
A good way to reduce PDF file size without harming graphics resolution is 
Document > Examine Document, which finds a bunch of things that can be removed 
from the document (hidden text, deleted or cropped content, etc.). It can also 
remove metadata and bookmarks if you don't want them, and even if you uncheck 
all items and click Remove it still shrinks the file substantially.
