You can compress bitmap images, text, and line art to reduce the size of a PDF file. Options for bitmap image compression include JPEG, LZW, and ZIP. Bitmap images that use JPEG compression have a quality scale ranging from 2 (high quality, less compression) to 255 (lower quality, more compression). The higher the image quality, the larger the file size.
You can also reduce the size of a PDF file by downsampling color, grayscale, or monochrome bitmap images.
Using symbols in a drawing can help you reduce the file size of the PDF file when publishing to PDF. For more information, see Working with symbols.
