I am producing a state comprehensive annual report using Windows XP, Acrobat 5.05 (full version), Acrobat 6 Reader, Word 2000, the latest version of Lotus 123, Illustrator 10. I am only using TrueType fonts (I embed all fonts in the Distiller setting).
Sounds good...
I am creating postscript files using the latest Acrobat Distiller printer driver. I combine the files using the "rundirex" postscript program provided by Adobe;
OK, though you can certainly do this directly in Acrobat itself...
I'm using the Distiller setting (Isaacs) based on Dov Isaac's "Reliable PDF Creation in the Enterprise" presentation at the PDF 2001 Conference West.
Great!
I decided to experiment and try reducing my PDF file size. I saved my PDF as Postscript, and I then distilled the Postscript file.
Redistillation - JUST SAY NO!
Adobe has been saying this for years, and now Acrobat 6 offers the new PDF Optimzer for accomplishing the major tasks for which people used redistillation.
Also, there are 3rd party products such as PDF Enhancer (http://www.pdfsages.com/enhancer.html) which are designed for the purpose of helping you reduce the size of your documents.
