Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Help, please! I've got a 17.5 MB pdf file, that I didn't realize was so freakin' large when I scanned it in.
Is there anyone that can resave it as a smaller file? I can't email it through my corp network otherwise. I'd do it myself but I'm on the road.
Thanks!
If you email it to me, I can optimize it, which should hopefully shrink it enough. How much is too much?
MFN,
if you can't email it, my main suggestion would be to save it in parts. Is it a multi-page document? You can save the first X pages as 1 part and the next X pages as the second part.
You can also try to zip it but that might not compress it that much.
Anything is better than what I've got. Insent.
Also, for future, if you open your pdf, assuming you have full Adobe, any time you "save as" (with same name, thereby replacing the previous doc), it gets pdf optimized. Can save you lots of mbs!
Thanks everyone!
I am being sorely tested in my iPhone loyalty by the EVO.
I hear you. i was tempted when i played with my aunt's Eris. the whole, being able to dl stuff directly to the phone from websites was all kinds of nifty. i dled a music file for her and then used one of the free apps to make her a ringtone out of it. right on the phone! i probably wouldn't do the EVO, because like Jessica, i LOATHE Sprint. having worked for them, i'm well aware of what they can and can't do to help me and that's...not much.
if i made the switch it would be to the Droid X on Verizon's network.
oh and back to the names for electronics, my iPhone's name is metalliphone. it's predecessor, my iTouch, was the metallipod.
Maria, under "Document" there's also an option of "reduce document size" ... or at least, I have it in my version. Don't know if you have to have the "pro" version of Acrobat.
And, as others have suggested, there's the option of breaking it up into bits and pieces, optimizing, and zipping.
Holy crap this screen is awesome. (Yes I know the Evo screen is even more awesome, but the i4 is still a huge step up from the 3G. I could actually see myself reading a book on this thing.)
