Adobe Acrobat and Huge File Sizes!
Hello Folks
I couldn't see a specific Adobe Acrobat Forum so hope it's okay to post this query here?
Basically I have a ten-page A4-sized colour booklet I need to put online as an Adobe Acrobat download.
I realise that you're not supposssed to scan direct in Acrobat for small file sizes, but I do not have the original Digital Medium and I'm unsure what is the best way to maintain the quality but keep the download size manageable.
I scanned at 150 DPI 216 Web-optimised palette and the resultant document is...wait for it........8MBs!
When I go to PDF Consultant >Audit Space Usage - it is 99% images!!
When I print this to Distiller set to screen (as advised elsewhere) to resample, the quality is very poor.
Please, please, help.
Regards
Andrew

I don't know the answer as I don't really use PDF files online but here are some articles I have come across which may help:

Thanks for the links.
From your link to Adobe Support, I popped along to their Windows Forum and after reading similiar queries I'm all clued up.
Cheers and thanks again
