Really frustrated...
Mac 10.6.8
Acrobat Pro X 10.1.4
I do not have access to the originating files for the PDF in question. Original file is 268MB.
6.25" x 10.25" document size.
I have used Save As Reduced file size. Increased file to 312MB.
I have Save As Optimized PDF with smallest file size. and got the file down to 247MB.
I printed out to a .ps file and ran it through Distiller with a custom Smaller File size taking it down to 72dpi (.ps file was 2.6GB) and got the file to 216MB.
I did another Optimize of the 216MB file clicking everything [flattening, fonts, images, etc.] and the file came out to 530MB. (Really?!?!)
[This also took 3.5 hours.]
Ok, content stream at 97%. I don't know what that is or how to reduce it.
I'd love to get this below 100MB and below 50MB would be great.
Any help / hints / tricks / tips are greatly apprectiated.
