Notes: You also can try reducing PDF file size with Adobe online tool. Instead of using Document Setup, select the new Page Tool in the Tool panel (third tool from the top). But, in CS5, you can control this behavior. In addition, you can click Audit space usage button in the upper right, and a report of the total number of bytes used for specific document elements like Images, Content Streams, Fonts and so on will be shown on the dialog box. The rule is that the page enlargement or reduction is performed equally on all four sides, except in the case of facing pages documents where the width change happens away from the spine. Click OK to choose storage location and then start the PDF compression process. Step 2: In the PDF Optimizer window, you can choose the options from the panels: Images, Fonts, Transparency, Discard Objects, Discard Use Data and Clean Up to reduce the size of PDF file. Step 1: Start the software Adobe Acrobat Reader DC -> Tools -> click Open button of Optimize PDF tool -> open the PDF file, and then click on Advanced Optimization as the picture below shown. The picture shown below presents the file size comparison between the PDF files before and after compressing. Next, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC starts the process of reducing PDF file size. Then you would be asked to choose the location where you want to save the compressed PDF file in a pop up window. Keep the default setting of Acrobat Version Compatibility as Retain existing. Step 4: A dialog box named Reduce File Size pops up. Step 3: After opening the PDF file, click on Reduce File Size on the upper side of the file. Step 2: In the Open dialog box, navigate to the PDF file you want to compress, select it and then click on Open button. Click on Open button to choose a PDF file.

Larger PDF files take up more hard drive space, difficult to attach in an email and often load slowly on PC and mobile devices.

Step 1: Open the software Adobe Acrobat DC, select Tools tab at the top left, and scroll down to find Optimize PDF tool. When generating PDFs, smaller PDF file size is always a good idea.
