How to reduce size of PDF export?

How to reduce the size of a PDF file of a scanned image...?

  • I'm applying for a job online and I have to submit digital images of my birth certificate, SS card, drivers license, and high school diploma. I scanned them and saved them as PDF files on Adobe but I can't upload them because they are too big. The application wants them smaller than 5MB and they are 6.42MB. How do I reduce the size of these images so I can upload them?

  • Answer:

    Scan and save them in jpeg format. Use 20% compression. Now, open Adobe and use the insert command to add your digital images manually. Insert as many as you want. They will fall in order automatically. Save them and the size will be approximately 2 megs :)

I. reduce the dpi settings of the scanned images (if ur purpose is just displaying it on LCD, set destination dpi to 72 - 96 DPI, that is enough for displaying purpose ) II. u need Foxonic, a powerful PDF tool. just 2 steps, u can convert scanned images to PDF with Foxonic: (1) click "settings" -> "General" -> set building mode to "All to One" and set destination PDF file name, location. (2) Select all scanned image files and right click the selected source files, click "Build selected files to PDF", then all the selected images will be converted to 1 PDF file automatically (source scanned images will be compressed automatically). u can download and try it for free from here: http://www.caisdata.com/foxonic.htm here, u can learn more info about how to convert scanned images to PDF with Foxonic, http://www.caisdata.com/faq/how-to-convert-image-to-pdf.htm
