How to reduce size of PDF export?

Omnigraffle: Reduce Size of exported PDF?

  • How can I reduce the file size of the PDF exported from OmniGraffle. I have a 40 odd page .graffle file with static, but quite rich canvases and the output PDF is over 15 MB. Is there a way of optimising the PDF exported from OmniGraffle, rather than reducing the file size using Acrobat ? Thanks

  • Answer:

    Try printing and instead of printing to paper, use the export to PDF option on either chrome or Firefox.

Sadly there really isn't much you can do if you want to keep your page size the same. When you are exporting you get the option to scale the export but this isn't really the best way to do this. However there is software out there to quickly shrink those overlarge files.Do a search for pdf reducer and you should get a bunch of options. I've used pdfcompressor & smallpdf before and they work nicely enough.

FYI - if quality matters more than file size: File > Export > Format: PDF Vector Image / Entire Document... creates really big files, but much more accurate than Printing as PDF or Saving as PDF.
