anyone kno bout pdf's
 

so i got a pdf i needed to edit..

so i used illustrator cs2 to edit the individual pages

used acrobat pro7 to delete some of the pages

then i saved it

and the file save is like 3megs.. when the original was 500k

question is.. how do i get it to 500k, or at least under a meg. i've tried to reduce file size w/acrobat.. didnt do much than to shrink it to 2.5meg. tried some stupid pdf compressor prog to no avail

did you try editing imgs

File...Reduce File size. Keep doing it>? :oh:

looks like illustrator saved the edited pages as images, while the original was text.

solution =?

ctrl-z?

no can do.. its a 20pg document.. and i redid it a few days ago :(

are there any settings in illustrator for saving PDF documents? you may have to poke around a bit, but i vaguely remember there being some. there should be compression available for PDFs. but it's been a long time since i edited any PDF documents...
