[QUOTE="krs, post: 1935026, member: 67742"] A couple of comments on this subject: I sent the original pdf file which I could not open with Acrobat Pro 9 to a friend who uses Acrobat as part of his work and has the latest version. Turns out that he could open the pdf but could not edit it because the edit function was password protected. I had already reduced the file size in Preview (from 350 MB to 210 MB) and sent that file....and sure enough, as I had expected, Preview ignored the edit password and my friend could now reduce the file size to 90 MB with still very good quality on a 43-inch 4 K monitor. One new thing I found out was that one can actually control the amount of compression and thus the quality of the compressed file in Preview. I always thought the Preview compression parameters were fixed. I have to find the article again and make a note of how that is done.
