How to reduce file size

Avatar

Level 5

I have one page file. There is no image, just text. Now the file size is 3MB.

I cannot reduce size anyhow. I have moved the tick from embed fonts at save option tab but file size is same.

How I can reduce file size?

In addition this file is used so many times.

Probably not.

If you don't see the Master Page tab in Designer, then the way in which you imported the existing PD means that the page was brought in as artwork. I don't think you will be able to reduce it now.

One potential option would be to:

  1. Go back to the existing PDF and export the page as an image. You can process the image in Photoshop (or similar) and get the image file size down.
  2. Then start a new form in Designer and on the Master Page drag on an Image object and associate it with the image in step 1.
  3. Save this new form and see is the file size acceptable. If so, proceed.
  4. Now open your existing 3Mb form in Designer and copy all of the objects.
  5. Paste these into your new form.
  6. You may need to move things around a bit.

Hope that helps,

Niall

Hi,

How did you create the form?

Did you create it from scratch in Designer? Or did you import an existing PDF or Word document?

This can affect file size.
