Reduce File Size

The final step in creating and saving a PDF file is to reduce the file size where possible. From

the Document Menu, select Reduce File Size, set compatibility with Acrobat 5 or later, then click

OK. Often, but not always, this step will greatly reduce the size of the file.

Converting files to PDF

Web pages (HTML), image files (JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, etc.) and text (TXT) files can be

converted easily to PDF files.

Open Acrobat, then select Create PDF – From File, then select the file and open. Once opened

in Acrobat, select Save As to save the file as a PDF.
