Reducing the Size of a PDF File

June 18th, 2009 by Chris

Question:
I use a web-based email service, and therefore have a fairly restrictive attachment size limit. I often need to circulate large PDF files in my office, but am unable to due to the files exceeding the attachment limit. Is reducing the size of a PDF file an effective way to solve this problem?

Answer:
The short answer is yes, reducing the size of a PDF file can generally make it small enough to fit within standard attachement limits. Of course, there are several factors involved, such as the size and content of the PDF, and the compression software used to reduce the size of the PDF file. CVISION’s PdfCompressor has a compression factor range of 5-10x for black and white PDF files and 10-100x for color. You can try reducing the size of a PDF file with the online compression tool or the free trial version of PdfCompressor to see if it solves your problem (see link to downloads page below).
