I leave this option unchecked and as is because I find that when you flatten transparency, it makes the PDF even larger and we're trying to shrink it:Ĭlick on Discard Objects. Here, you can flatten transparency if you wish. If you do Unembed your fonts, it will make your PDF smaller, but when users who do not have the fonts installed that you used to create your PDF, Acrobat will substitute another font when the PDF is opened, which generally causes reflow and mayhem:Ĭlick on Transparency. Fonts used in your PDF document will show up in the Embedded fonts box. I have never had the need to unembed fonts so I generally leave this box as is. I usually set the resolution I want when I create the PDF so I turn Off all of these settings for Downsample and change Compression to Retain existing:Ĭlick on Fonts. Here, you can change the resolution of images embedded in your PDF. You can only edit the contents of any of these options when the box is checked off. Here, you can create what I call a CLEAN setting that you can save and later use on any PDF:įirst, take a look at the options along the left side: Images, Fonts, Transparency, Discard Objects, Discard User Data and Clean Up. Go to the Advanced menu and scroll down to PDF Optimizer:Ī dialog box will appear.

PDF Optimizer is only available in Acrobat Pro when you have a PDF document open so for now, open any PDF, especially one that may need shrinking. You can easily fix this in Acrobat 8 Pro using PDF Optimizer.
Sometimes it seems that even when I use the "Smallest File Size" setting when making a PDF from InDesign or Illustrator, the PDF created is still too big in file size.
