Hi all,

I've got a PDF I'd like to print out, I need to email it to someone to print it, but it's too big to send. I need to email to, I can't share it or give a link to download it.
I need to strip off about 6-7MB...

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

Many thanks,
Ben

reprint it to pdf and reduce the quality settings.
or dropbox it.

Can't you compress it (Zip etc.)?

Ah ha! That might be an option...

Sas, I'm not sure I could dropbox it...The guys in the printing room asked for an email, so that's what I'll give them...Bit a zip/gz/bz might be a good way to go

Ace, zip -9 and a few seconds later and it's just over 7mb smaller!

Grrr, the mail server seemed to see the 19mb zipped file as something over 25mb :roll:

I ended up splitting the document in two...

FTP? What’s wrong with using that? Email isn’t meant for such large files.

Yeah I know...One of the transfers failed, I might take it on a CD tomorrow and give it to them...
