I have a huge pdf file, @ http://penangA1.com/Malaysia/bn106.pdf
Size is over 27 MB.
I need to shrink it.
Anyone know any pdf shrinker that can do the trick?
I tried CVista pdfCompressor, it shrinks the 28,523,179 byte file to
27,100,963 byte file.
A less than 4% shrinking.
I downloaded the free PDF Compressor from www.nicepdf.com but the
compressor tells me that my huge pdf file has a wrong version of some
sort.
I know there's one from Apago, but it runs only on OS-X, not Windows.
So in short, is there any shrinker for that huge file?
Please help.
Thanks ! |

It depends on the content to a great degree. If the bulk is due to the
presence of huge bitmaps, then a tighter compression algorithm may reduce
the bulk but don't expect miraculous results. Unfortunately the biggest
gains are probably to be made using Adobe Acrobat (payware), which can
encode the PDF to a higher version that allows more sophisticated
compression algorithms. |

Well no wonder. It's stored as near print quality, and 100% pictures. If it
could be redone in regular type, it would be under 500k. I don't know
anything about Asian typefaces, but if the bloke who created it would save
it as an Adobe PDF or even EPS it would be much, much smaller.
I got it down to 10 MB using Acrobat. Didn't try to make it any smaller. >> Stay informed about: Utility to shrink PDF files |

May I have a looksee on the 10MB file? Just want to use it for a head-
to-head comparison.

Put all my $$$ to host the file already, can't find any spare change
for Adobe Acrobat.
Perhaps someone here got the Adobe Acrobat, wanna help out, please?

It's a flyer of sort, so as long as the characters are legible, it
doesn't matter much for the graphics.
If you got the chance, could you try to make squeeze it to the
smallest size possible? I wonder how _that_ would look like.

Whoa !
Just a offtopic annoucement !
The above file is no more. Locked up by the Malaysian government !!
Apparently that file carries a list of embarrassing moments of the
Malaysian government and obviously the Malaysian government doesn't
want anyone to know about it.
Net censorship of the worst kind ! >> Stay informed about: Utility to shrink PDF files |

I saved a copy. I can RIP it into modest size web pages and serve them if
the author needs that. It would be helpful to read what it says, first. Our
Chinese interpreter is out with (ironically) the flu. Maybe it is Japanese.
I wouldn't know. >> Stay informed about: Utility to shrink PDF files |
