FastStone Image Viewer is also a great free tool for batch renaming, resizing, etc… as well as PDF options. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Justin P.

Also I really like Irfan Viewer, a free imaging tool that has great options for compression.

Also, look into batch processing...great way to compress lots of files at the same time. -Chris Chris Akin, GISP C: 617.285.1676 <tel:617.285.1676> [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> // LinkedIn Profile <http://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisakin/> // @ChrisAkin98 <https://twitter.com/ChrisAkin98> 41.984114º, -71.332267º NEURISA President www.neurisa.org <http://www.neurisa.org> On Fri, Oct 2, 2015 at 9:32 AM, Robert Pruyne <[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> > wrote: Hi Everyone, Happy Friday, I have just finished up a large project that has around 200 maps. Most maps are E-Sized, and they are 'complex'. I say complex in that they have many datasets, both raster and vector, fills, transparencies, complex polygons, millions (billions?) of nodes. These maps are beastly (but beautiful?). Part of our deliverable is PDFs and the distribution of the PDFs digitally. Right now this set comes in about 5GB in size. These PDFs were exports from ArcGIS Export command (using 350dpi, 1:3 resampling, RGB Colorspace, Compressed Vector Graphics, LZW Image compression). The maps range from about 35MB to 100MB. If I take these PDFs into Fully licensed Adobe Acrobat and just resave them, it seems I can gain another 30-40% reduction in file size, but doing this individually is less than appealing, I may be able to batch them through this. My question to the group is, are there any hints or tips on reducing file size when exporting to PDF from ArcGIS without losing TOO much quality in final output? Or have I maxed out my compression v. quality already? Am I doing something wrong, or right? Thanks in advance! -Rob --------------------------- Robert C Pruyne Jr, GISP GIS Specialist Rockingham Planning Commission 156 Water St, Exeter, NH 03833 p 603.778.0885 f 603.778.9183 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list (NEARC-L) is an unmoderated discussion list for all NEARC Users.
