COMPRESS PDF FILES
COMPRESS PDF FILES
(OP)
Is it possible to compress PDF files? We often save drawings as PDFs & send them to clients for review. Occasionally they complain about the file size. I tried EcoSqueeze on one & got diddly. We could save as a BMP or other image file, but loose too much clarity. E-Drawings aren't an option - unless we want to play IT & walk them thru the the free download installation. Besides, if their PCs are so old that they choke on our PDFs... they probably aren't running a current version of IE anyway.
So what are y'all doing?

RE: COMPRESS PDF FILES
I usually use self-executable eDrawings for customers known not to have suitable viewers. More often than not, they are so impressed with eDrawings they actually want the program installed.

Also, from my experience, Adobe Reader 6.0 is the biggest instable kludge I've ever run on any system. Your clients may want to check to make sure they're running something in the 7.0 range. That's all about PDFs.
Meanwhile, I use eDrawings rather exclusively because so much more can be communicated with them and they're very compact for their complexity.
