Reduce size of the pdf-Document

2014-10-14 Thread Uwe Ade 
Hello,
 
I use Lyx with beamer to make my slides for lectures. Are there any Option 
build in Lyx I can set to reduce the Size to the final-pdf? 

Thanks

No - but this is one question which comes up again and again.

There are several options what one can do, i.e. resize images manually,
create a copier in LyX to resize the images automatically or resize the
resulting pdf via an external program.

But it all depends why your pdf is so large.

Cheers,

Rainer

A while ago I set up a script (aimed at Linux) that reduces the PDF file
size:

Of course, the prize is image quality. So you need to play a bit with it to
find a reasonable compromise.

Nice - and I guess it will also work under mac when ghostscript is
installed. 

Nevertheless, it would be really nice, if there would be an option in
LyX to down-sample all images of a certain type to a given resolution
automatically.
