Hi,

Thanks – this was really helpful. My 150 MB file came down to 9 MB only by changing image quality.

Thank you so much for this information. I spent the better part of a day day trying to reduce a file. I’ve never had a problem before but it just wouldn’t work. I came across this information and it worked perfectly.
Thank you so much.

Fantastic – who would’ve thought it! I have ABBYY PDF Transformer installed and created a PDF by printing a JPEG from Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to PDF XChange for ABBYY. Then by opening the PDF in Acrobat Reader and printing again to ABBYY, I reduced that file size by 75% on average. Maybe lost a little resolution, but what the hell – at least I can email it now!
Thanks a million.

Printing to Microsoft XPS makes it even smaller. I did 25mb files into 600kb files by using “shrink to print area.” This solution is available to nearly every Microsoft machine without paying for anything.

Sweet article! Reduced my 40mb PDF to 3.5mb – not much quality loss considering the dramatic reduction!

Thanks.
