Menu and choose
Acrobat 3.0 compati-
bility to ensure that
everyone using
Acrobat version 3.0 or
later can open your
documents. Make sure
that Optimise for Fast
Web View is selected.
This compresses your
document for faster
downloading and
makes it load much
faster when viewed
with Acrobats web-
browser internet plug-
in.
All .PDFs are compressed to some degree but the
Compression panel in the Job Options window
allows you to apply additional compression to
various types of images in you document to
reduce it further. Using
no compression can
yield too-large docu-
ments and too much
compression can
degrade your images.
Bicubic Downsampling
automatically reduces
the resolution of the
high-quality images in
your document. This
will only dramatically
reduce the over-all size
of your document if
there are really big
high-resolution images
in your document.
Low-res images you
have imported at 72 or
144 dpi will not be
affected. Reducing
images to 72 dpi only
works for images that
will be viewed at their
full size on screen. They
cannot be viewed
expanded without
jagged pixels appearing. 300 dpi works best for
colour and greyscale images and leaves enough
resource in your document to ensure proper
printing . Getting a firm grip on proper use of
compression can really make a big difference in
