Nov 8, AM in response to redticket In response to redticket. I was pretty excited when I found this Automator solution for Lion users, and seems like it's the ticket for most people here, but not me!

I have done all the steps exactly, the pdf opens once dropped on the newly created automation application, but it doesn't reduce in size at all. I've tried a number of Jerome's filters but get the same results. I also tried to apply filters in Colorsync but nothing seems to alter my fie size So strange. Nov 8, AM. Communities Get Support.

I was never satisfied with results of "Reduce File Size" Quartz filter when trying to make some PDFs smaller before sending them by e-mail.

It made them too small, and the graphics were fuzzy. I also found why this particular filter makes quite unusable PDFs, as these parameters were just too low: Compression Quality 0. Then I changed the parameters of each file to 0. When exporting to PDF in reduced size, the file is only 27 KB and it's quite unusable - very fuzzy and hard to read. The Good one is much easier to read, slightly fuzzy and still only 80 KB.

Better is KB and clear, and the Best is KB and almost as good as the original even on a laser printer. I see this as useful only for creating PDFs from files. If I'm scanning something, and I don't want the file to be too big, I'll either scan it at a lower resolution, or change the resolution in an image editor before making a PDF.
