There are a lot of advantages to optimizing your PDF files. They鈥檒l open faster, respond quicker; plus, they鈥檒l save everyone bandwidth when you share them. And the best part is that you can do this quickly, right inside of Acrobat. I have a brochure here for my client and the file is nearly 10 megabytes. Now, before I send this off to my client for review, I鈥檒l run the Optimized PDF tool from the tools area. Then I鈥檒l simply click the Compressed PDF button. I鈥檒l choose a destination. I鈥檒l add -optimized to the file name, and then I鈥檒l hit save. And I鈥檓 now looking at the new optimized PDF inside of Acrobat.

Here, you can see that using the default settings, I got a file that is nearly indistinguishable from the original file with a new file size of only 751K which is 93% smaller than the original file, and that was 62nd Acrobat. -
