Reduce file size by saving

You can sometimes reduce the file size of a PDF simply by using the Save As command. Reducing the size of PDFs improves their performance—particularly when they’re being accessed on the web—without altering their appearance.

The Reduce File Size command resamples and recompresses images, removes embedded fonts, compresses document structure, and cleans up elements such as invalid bookmarks. If the file size is already as small as possible, this command has no effect.

Note: Reducing the file size of a digitally signed document removes the signature.

1. Choose Document > Reduce File Size.
2. Select the version compatibility that you need, and click OK.

   If you’re certain that all your users use Acrobat 8 or Adobe Reader 8, limiting compatibility to the latest version can further reduce file size.

   Note: If you select Acrobat 4.0 And Later, and the document contains transparency, the transparency is flattened.
