pdf file

[Susan]

I wanted to place newsletter on website. Newsletter is pub file but I
converted it to pdf file. Problem is that pdf file is large and I am having
difficulty uploading it to website. Also I am having difficulty viewing file
in Adobe Acrobat reader once it is uploaded because I am dial-up user. Person
with DSL has no problem.

What do you recommend for file size for file to be placed on website?
Although I know high resolution pictures is better for printing, I may
optimize the pictures in the pub file before I convert it to pdf. Publisher
does not have resampling tool like FP does it?

I thought about just converting pub files into jpg files but then user would
have to print off each individual page instead of being able to print all
pages in pdf file.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks, I will have to try it. I spent time optimizing the pictures in the
..pub file with Adobe PE and then reconverted the file with Primopdf and
found out that it did not make much difference.

Have you tried this? I tried to download the trial version and when I try
the Office2PDF I get a "pdfxctrl.PdfPrinter Preferences ActiveX is not
installed" error!
I don't know what options I have for help since I did not purchase it yet
and have only 1 day to use it! Don't know if it would help if I did get it
to work.

You could also ZIP the file to reduce upload/download size/times.

Well, THAT is not impressive at all as far as reduction. My experience with
zipping pub files using the built in zip utility in Windows XP is a
reduction of about 50%.

Brian,

Gee, you must be the one getting older, not me (I just turned 50!). It
was the PDF file that Don was reporting on, not the Pub file.

I am aware of that. I was thinking that zipping the pub file might be a
better choice. Not sure.

I am using FP 2003 for website and the FTP since website does not have FP
extensions. Are you saying that I can import the zipped file to my local
website and ftp it to the remote website?
