How To Reduce Pdf File Size In Bluebeam

To reduce the size of a single PDF:

Open up the PDF to be reduced.
Go to Certificate > Procedure > Reduce File Size. The Reduce File Size dialog box appears.
Revu comes preloaded with several convenient Presets, pre-configured settings designed to balance document Quality with the amount of Pinch. Use one of these presets or utilize customized reduction settings to determine how the PDF volition exist compressed.

To utilize a preset reduction setting:
1. Select Presets.
2. Motility the slider bar to the desired setting. The leftmost setting has the highest image quality with the lowest amount of compression while the rightmost setting applies the highest amount of compression resulting in the greatest size reduction, though perhaps at the expense of image quality.
3. Proceed to step iv below.
To use custom reduction settings:
1. Select Custom.
2. Select a previously saved custom configuration fix from the Edit Preset menu and click OK, then proceed to step iv below.
  
  - or -
  
  Click Edit. The Reduce File Size Custom Settings dialog box appears.
  
  Reduction settings are divided among iii tabs at the top of the dialog box. Before showtime, however, consult the color-coded bar chart at the bottom of the dialog box. It shows a breakdown of the PDF'southward file size and can indicate where the nearly dramatic file reductions tin exist realized. This is also where the values for the original File Size, the Estimated reduced file size and the per centum by which the document will be reduced are shown. These values update every bit settings are inverse; employ them to determine whether the selected configuration meets the file reduction needs.
  
  Images
  
  Images are broken into iv categories co-ordinate to chip depth (Full Colour, 8-bit Color, Grayscale and Monochrome) and the number of images in a given category is shown below each heading every bit the Count. Settings are applied to all images in the category.
  - Convert to: Select the epitome type to convert images to. The effects of this selection vary greatly according to the original image blazon, simply for colour images, generally PNGThe PNG format is a lossless compressed format. The benefits to using this format are that the full quality of the image will be retained, yet the amount of information describing the image volition exist reduced, by and large resulting in a smaller file size. renders images of higher fidelity while JPEGJPEG is a lossy compressed graphics format that drops sure graphic information entirely in the salve process. When an image is stored in this format, it will non retain all of the fidelity of the original source image, only information technology volition produce a significantly smaller file than PNG. and JPEG2000JPEG2000 is an update to the JPEG format. Compression is based on wavelet technology and creates compressed images that generally look meliorate than a JPEG file; the compression machinery is more complex, however, and therefore requires more computing power to display. upshot in smaller image sizes. For monochrome images, CCITT more often than not renders the higher allegiance and JBIG2 results in the smaller image sizes.
  - Max DPI: Select the maximum number of Dots Per Inch (or "resolution") to convert images to. The number of images that would be reduced by the selection is shown below the selection. If this value is 0, all of the images in this category are already at a lower DPI than what is selected.
  - Bit Depth: Select the color depthNumber of bits used to betoken the color of a single pixel/dot. of converted images.
  - Quality: Select the paradigm quality (high, medium or low) for JPEG or JPEG2000 images.
  In addition, enable or disable whatsoever of the following global epitome settings:
  - Automatically reduce flake depth of compatible images: Enable to cause all images selected for conversion (to a higher place) to be analyzed to make up one's mind whether they tin exist converted to a smaller bit depth without introducing errors (for instance, some images saved equally "total color" would exercise only every bit well saved at "viii-scrap color" with a considerably smaller file size) and, if so, convert those images to the smaller fleck depth blazon.
  - Remove ICC Colour Profiles: Enable to remove whatsoever embedded ICC color profilesInternational Color Consortium (ICC) color profiles ascertain colour spaces, data that characterizes a color input or output device, according to standards maintained by the ICC. , which are generally just needed when printing PDFs, and supplant them with their defined, alternate color spaces.
  - Combine identical indexed colorspaces: Enable to cause all images that employ identical color spaces to reference a unmarried instance of the colour space in the PDF and remove the duplicates.
  Fonts
  - Drop Embedded: Enable to remove any embedded fonts from the PDF. Note that this might affect the display of the PDF on other computers; if a font used in the PDF is not nowadays on some other computer, a substitute font will be used to render the PDF.
  Miscellaneous
  
  Enable any of the following options, as desired. The general effects of selecting an choice (for example, the number of bytes that would be removed from the file or the number of images that would be affected) is shown immediately to its right; if zippo is shown, that type of data is not nowadays and enabling the choice would accept no consequence.
  - Drop Metadata: Enable to remove all metadata associated with the PDF or with objects inside the PDF.
  - Drop Private Data: Enable to remove certificate individual data, which is mostly but usable by whatever application created the PDF.
  - Shrink All Streams: Enable to shrink any uncompressed content streamsContent streams are the primary means for describing the appearance of pages and other graphical elements in a PDF. in the PDF.
  - Drop Thumbnails: Enable to remove embedded thumbnails, mostly used for quick previews of content past some applications, from the document.
  - Drib Unused Resources: Enable to remove whatsoever resources, such as images, fonts, color spaces, or snapshots of content from other pages, that are not used when rendering page content (this oft happens when PDFs are extracted from larger documents).
  - Drop Complimentary XRefs: Enable to recycle any XRefsXRefs are reference numbers for objects within a PDF. that no longer refer to annihilation in the certificate.
  - Ingather content to crop box: Enable to remove whatever image data that falls outside of a PDF'southward crop box (often when an image is "cropped" within a PDF, the parts of the image that fall outside the ingather box are simply hidden; this option deletes the hidden content).
  - Dereference number XRefs: Enable to replace XRefsXRefs are reference numbers for objects within a PDF. that reference a number (some PDFs, for example, use XRefs to define image width) with the actual number (which takes up less infinite).
3. To save this configuration for use in future documents:
  1. Click Save at the top of the dialog box. The Save Reduce File Size Options dialog box appears.
  2. Enter a name for the configuration in the Save Reduce File Size Options every bit field and click OK.
4. Click OK. The Reduce File Size Custom Settings dialog box closes.
To apply these file reduction settings to the PDF:
1. Click OK. A Save Equally dialog box appears.
2. Enter a proper noun for the new PDF in the File Proper name field. If desired, browse to a new location to save information technology (by default, Revu will salvage it in the same binder as the original).
Note: If you do not specify a new name, a dialog box will appear request for confirmation that the original PDF should be replaced with the compressed file.
1. Click Save. The file is compressed and saved. The Reduce File Size Results written report opens.
2. Click Close.
