I’m trying to reduce a file size of a PDF so I can put into a website. When I get the PDF each is page is 11”x 22” and has 20 pages in the file. When I upload it to my server it takes at least 10 min. to upload. After I go to the web address to check it out, the page takes 3 or 4 min. until I can see it. How do change the PDF file size so I can speed up the process?
The problem is the PDF file had already been created, so I don’t have the original file or access it.
How do you change the size of a pdf document that’s already created?
Another suggestion for %26quot;speeding up%26quot; the PDF page download speed from server is you can optimize your PDF file for %26quot;Fast Web Viewing%26quot;.
This is especially useful for transferring a large PDF file over the web, normally, when transfer a PDF file over the web, the PDF file must be fully transferred to the client, if the PDF file is larger, it will take a long time for transferring the PDF file, for the PDF document has been optimized for fast web viewing, a web server can transfer the optimized PDF document one page at a time, that means, the first page of the document will be presented to the user without having to wait for the full document to download from the web server. This will greatly enhanced the end user's experience.
