[+-OT] reducing pdf file

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1044 bytes --]

Dear,

I made with NodeBox software a large vectorial image (I can export in pdf).
the idea is to use it as a cover for a ConTeXt project.
The problem lies in its size: 220 Mb.
Could anyone provide a method (if any) for reducing the size?
The image is made by a combination of many small pdf images, so I guess that the resulting size depends on linear combination of all images size,
that are preserved (sorry, I’m an ignorant on the pdf format).

Thanks a lot

Best

You could convert it to JPEG at the resolution that you need.

This command should reduce your file:

   java -cp Multivalent20060102.jar tool.pdf.Compress huge-document.pdf

Multivalent can be found at
http://www.vrspace.org/sdk/java/multivalent/Multivalent20060102.jar.
BTW, the newer Multivalent release from 2009 doesn’t include the
compression tool.

I hope this helps,


Pablo
