Reducing PDF file sizes <H5>
</H5>In Adobe Acrobat Professional (6 or 7):
Depending on the original file size this process can reduce a PDF file's size by over 100 times. We have tested this on a 7-page 250MB PDF file that was created in an on campus lab after being scanned in at 600 DPI (dots per inch). The resulting PDF file was less than 2 MB. Performing this on any and all PDFs will greatly increase the amount of time students spend reading material versus waiting for material.
- Open PDF file.
- Select 'File' > 'Reduce File Size' from the menu.
- Click 'OK'.
- Give the new file a name and click 'Save'.
