Hi Ray,
Thanks so much for that. Yes that all looks fine in Preview AND the custom
page numbering is retained :o)
I was interested when you said
Adobe Reader V10.1.1 did not have problems with any of the versions.
I do not normally use Acrobat reader but I had opened the original file in

A further update - even though the file size has doubled - applying this
filter does significantly reduce the image quality.
I may end up just keeping both copies of the book - it feels wrong but I
do get all pages in maximum image quality for less than 9MB in total ;o(
Cheers

Well, thank you Perez. What a good dog you are. I hope your Mum gave you a
nice bone whilst she enjoyed her Bubbles!

I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8.
I was intrigued by your file sizes Neil so I tried saving a PDF book (52 pp)
from Preview.
Original size - 5.1MB - quality good
Saved size - 4.9MB using no quartz filter - quality equally good
Saved size - 1.9MB using reduce file size in quartz filter - quality
Hi Mike,
Yes, I'm not sure what is happening. It isn't the page swapping because the
test I did before replying to Carlo was just opening the file in Preview and
then re-saving - without any page swapping.
The original pdf creation was obviously very good - you can actually look at
the original
For what it's worth Neil, I have reproduced on OS X 10.7 exactly the behaviour
that you are seeing. Namely the downloaded PDF has the customized thumbnail
numbering scheme before editing (also a blurred page 96). As a test I swapped
the order of pages 6 and 7 and as a result the customized
It is interesting that the original JPEG files are actually bigger than the
PDF. They must be using some type of compression. Perhaps Preview uncompressed
the images and on saving failed to compress them again.
Just idle speculation at this point. :-)

Yes, The folder of JP2 files contains 136 images, of which 130 end up in the
pdf - so around 29 MB of the 30.2 MB total are compressed down to 4.2 MB
whilst keeping very good image quality - so the compression is VERY good.
I can accept that Preview may need to uncompress the files to view them
Hi Neil,
Both forms of the book come up beautifully on the iPad; the online version in
Safari and the downloaded PDF in iBooks. In portrait orientation they look
strikingly clear and crisp. There was a bit of a delay when I scrolled forward
many pages at a time as the smaller processor of the

Hi Neil,
In regards to the large size of the modified PDF file here is something you can
try. The procedure is different depending on whether you are running OS X 10.7
Lion or an earlier version of the OS.
In Lion:
1) Display the PDF in Preview
2) At the top of the window, just to the right of
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the suggestion/offer but, no, my problem is not so much making
the changes and replacing the faulty page - I can do that easily enough by
dragging the good page from one book to replace the faulty page in the other
book (since each book has one faulty page but not the same
Hi Carlo,
That's a good tip, thanks - I DID know about this but didn't actually think
of it! - and I can't even blame the bubbles, they came later ;o)
As a simpler test/comparison of this, I tried two things:
1. I opened the 4.2MB file in Preview and then just did a Save as with no
file changes
