Shrinking the size of a form

[Former Community Member]

Hi

After I create a form (using Adobe X Pro/Live Cycle) can I reduce size of the form before releasing it for general use? I know how to optimize a pdf I fill in... this is before that, while the form is being created... The form I created is just over 1 MG and our procurement system doesn't allow attachments that size (and the user base isn't that Adobe sophisticated to be able to optimize the form on their own).

thanks

Mark.

Two areas to check

1)  Are you using images?  If so verify that you've optimized the size of the image before adding it to the form

2)  Are you embedding fonts?  If the fonts are commonly installed on the users system don't embed the fonts
