Decrease pdf size

[Former Community Member]

Hello,

we have a pdf form, which nearly doubles its size (from 867 051B to 1 337 351B) when I just open it with Designer (tested on 8.2 and 9.0) and save it again without modifications under different name.

Do you have any idea, where could be a problem ?

The original pdf was created by Designer 9.0

I am saving it as a Dynamic XML Form, the original pdf should be also dynamic XML form ([Form properties -> Compatibility -> Form Type] says "Dynamic XML Form").

I unfortunately cannot post the pdf publicly .

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

Open the PDF in designer. Go to File > Form Properties > Save Options and un-check all boxes, save and close.  That will reduce the file size. Embedding the fonts and tags causes the PDF to be so large. Unfortunately you can't change this once to enable it to be done on all your future forms, you need to do it every time you save a new PDF.
