hi my name is david and in today's video i'll show you how you can quickly reduce the size of a pdf file without losing quality using adobe acrobat dc welcome to this video and let's dive in so i have my pdf inside here and you'll need two things adobe acrobat dc and your pdf file that you want to reduce in size and the reasons why you may need to reduce the file in size is probably you want to send it via whatsapp or maybe via email without using file hosting services like google drive dropbox atc so this is my pdf file and if you look at the size here it's about 12.9 mb or more or less 13mb so if i just double click on it it's going to open up inside microsoft edge and you'll notice that this pdf file has a ton of graphics if you just scroll down the tone of pictures and all that one of the things that makes your pdf file get big is the number of images or the resolution of images that is that is actually available in your pdf and this particular pdf has a ton of images so let us see how well adobe acrobat dc will perform in reducing the size of this particular pdf so let's close this out and what i'm going to do now is that i'm going to right click on my pdf file here and open with adobe acrobat dc just click on that and once i click on that it's going to open up it's the same pdf the same graphics the same everything so to quickly reduce the size of this particular pdf all we need to do is go to file save as other reduce size pdf click on that and once i click on this the new dialog box is the reduce file size dialog box the acrobat version compatibility you can make compatible with you can retain existing or move up the ladder to these other versions of acrobat and i'll choose acrobat 10 and later click on that setting compatibility with later versions of adobe acrobat will allow greater reduction in file size and that is what we're actually looking forward to so i'll just click on ok and once i click on ok i'll need to set where i need my file to go to i'll then add an underscore of reduced size just click on save once you're satisfied with everything the naming and everything that you want click on save now it's reducing pdf size just give it a couple of seconds and it's done now it's done that in the background and when we look at the new file that is down here reduced size that is the title and the reduce size you'll see that this is about 3.6 mb more or less a reduction in about 9 mb or 8mb uh they are they are less that's a good file reduction now what if we just double click and open it up inside microsoft edge will you notice any difference just double click my assumption is this is the reduced pdf if i just scroll down i don't think there is any difference in the images if i just go back and check out the original just double click on it scroll down i don't see any noticeable reduction in quality loss but for these to happen adobe acrobat dc head to optimize the images so that the size could be reduced so that is how you can quickly reduce the size of a pdf file without losing quality using adobe acrobat dc i hope this tutorial has been of value to you thanks for watching
