I am using Windows 2000 and I want to add pdf documents to the site. What is the best way to create them to minimize the file sizes?
It is recommended that you use Adobe Acrobat Distiller to create the documents rather than Adobe Acrobat Writer as Distiller produces a smaller file size. Before you use Distiller for the first time please make sure that it is set up correctly. On your pc click on Start, then Settings and then Printers. Place the cursor over the the printer called “Acrobat Distiller” and right click, then left click to select Properties. Select the General tab and click on Printing Preferences at the bottom. Now select Adobe PDF Settings and make sure that the following are selected Do not send fonts to Distiller (this reduces the file size) Prompt for the pdf file name (this allows you to save the pdf version where you want to in your local directories) Delete log files for successful jobs Then click on Apply and then on OK twice. You can now open your document, select file/print and then select the printer named “Acrobat Distiller” and click OK. You will then be asked to select a location for the pdf
