Hi all. We're in the process of getting an eEdition available for the faraway subscribers of our newspaper. The goal is to get each page under 1M. We have one page which will not downsample. It's contents are 6 syndicated cartoons (all around 200 K bitmap tiffs) and 2 syndicated TV listings (44k pdfs). Is there an easy way to get these to downsample in distiller? Or an easy (read automatic) way to convert these to something that will?

Acrobat Professional 7 and 8 have a built-in PDF Optimizer function that allow you to resample and recompress all images in a PDF file. "Refrying" a PDF (i.e., creating PostScript and redistilling) is not recommended. - Dov

Mr. Isaacs, What about pdfs within a .ps. Currently, our ads (created in Indesign) are placed as PDFs on the page. The news, (also created in Indesign) is also placed on an Indesign doc as a PDF. The compiled Indesign document (now with PDFs of news and ads) is then sent to RIP as a PostScript. This PostScript is dropped into Distiller for the eEdition and archives. Suggestions?

In that case, use appropriate joboptions for Distiller to downsample. - Dov

So we're back to my original question. Where do I get bitmap tiffs to downsample?

The PostScript you are sending to the Distiller has the images in it already for downsampling by the Distiller. You don't need separate images. - Dov

How do I set Adobe reader as my default? PDF documents now go to Microsoft word, and I cannot read them. Thanks for the help. Joyce

If properly installed, Adobe Reader establishes itself as the program that opens when you double-click any .PDF file. Did you install some other program that does anything to PDF files (such as a convert PDF file to Word utility program)? - Dov PS: Please post such a question as a new topic; don't piggyback on irrelevant existing topics.
