Light PDF.

[Maestro101]

I know this is a basic question, I would prefer not to ask it.

 

I`m trying to join several jpgs into a pdf and I have problems with achieving a document of weight less than 5Mb. (when I use Adobe Acrobat). When I use Pdf factory it creates a 0,5 Mb document, but the quality is horrible. I don`t even mention using Word and printing the document into pdf. I want to join six 300 dpi jpegs into one pdf around 5Mb.

 

What software do you use to create such a document?

 

This is very important for me.

hi maestro

You need to use Adobe Distiller to achieve this. You first save your full 5mb pdf to a folder or wherever. 2. open it back up and save it as a distiller file. Then open the program "adobe distiller" and then you can convert to web size, print size or printing press size. this usually take a 5mb file down to about 200-300kb as a web size file.

 

Hope this helps you somewhat.

Thank you Orion. That was exactly what I was looking for.

There is also an "PDF Optimizer" feature from within Acrobat under the Advanced menu.

Or if you are doing it through the PDF Printer, there are properties for image dpi and compression.
