Changing The Size of A Page

[Ramon_Lo@adobeforums.com]

I've been having problems with changing the size of a page in Adobe Acrobat. Can it actually do that and how can I solve that problem?

Hi Ramon

What exactly is the Problem?
Are your really changing the Page Size, or are just defining a Crop?

I would like to change the size of all the pages (to make them smaller) since the PDF file is too big to be sent through e-mail. Thanks.

Oh - You want to reduce the file size. This can be down using the "PDF Optimize" function in the "Extended" menu of the Professional version and performing downsampling of images together with a higher compression

Yes go into PDF Optimizer and set Dpi of images no more than 150dpi.

Be sure to write down the current settings though unless you want these permanant. As Acrobat keeps the new setting no matter what until you change them again. Do it for Color and B&W don't have to do anything for the last settings as that has to do with Faxing. Also If you've used standard fonts such as Arial, TimesNew or CouriorNew Then go to fonts menu and unembed all fonts and I that will reduce even more. a 1 Meg file could end up with all the changes as low as 50 K depending upon what all is changed.
