[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1766360, member: 131855"] I did a little poking around in Preview since I planned to mention this in the video chat tonight plus it has been some time since I used that filter. Here's what I've noticed so far: 1. Once you choose the reduce file size filter there are no other setting to change as far as I can tell. Some other filters for example let you change the level of compression. 2. Some files undergo a significant level of compression. A test jpg for example stated at 269 k. When the same image is converted to pdf using Preview it is 270+ k without the reduce file size filter. With the filter the resulting pdf was 29 k. I suspect that the more graphically intensive a file is the larger the change in file size might be. 3. The smaller pdf did not seem to have more white space and still had a very usable image quality. The test image I used was one that would not necessarilly show off a lot of image degradation if it occurred. [/QUOTE]
