I've got an 8 page PDF (1.5Mb).
I've opened a single page in Adobe Illustrator to make some changes
(delete a line of text and add a caption) and resaved the document.
It's now a whopping 5Mb and remains that way after trying to use
Acrobat to reduce the file size.
Any ideas on a solution - I'm not exactly sure where the original
document is that was used to create the PDF (probably a Word file).
I can highly recommend the shareware utility PDF-Compress for
shrinking PDF Files. I recently had to produce a document as PDF, and
the resultant file ended up at around 30Mb! PDF-Compress reduced that
to about 3.1 Mb, with no appreciable difference in quality (except
for much faster loading speeds).
PDF-Compress is available on VersionTracker, and is worth every penny
of the shareware price if you work with PDF files.
