Dear Dr. DP Pratap,

Open the pdf file in adobe professional find file menu in menu bar and
click on reduce file size, there you can use lower version of acrobat
like acrobat 5 or lower.

And save it at different location or in different name.

Hope this work for you.

Thanks

Sincerely

I can suggest the following from our experience with
http://medind.nic.in

(i) For new publications or publications in the process of printing:

(a) get hold of DTP Version (normally in PageMaker) from your
publication in-charge or your printer.

(b) Open the DTP Version in its native format (Normally with
PageMaker) and export the publication into PDF format.

(c) PDF files obtained in such a manner are light and best as compared
to other methods.

(ii) For Publications where DTP Version is not available:

(a) Scan pages having TEXT ONLY with scanner resolution 200 DPI in
black and white.
(b) Scan pages having B/W  DIAGRAMS with scanner resolution 300 DPI in
black and white.
(c) Scan pages having COLORED  DIAGRAMS with scanner resolution 300
DPI in COLOR.
(d) Scan pages having COLORED  PHOTOs with scanner resolution 600 DPI in
COLOR.
(e) Save as Multi-page PDF file.

(iii) In case text searching is required, but display quality does not
matter: (Files obtained by scanning as above)

(a) Use CAPTURE Feature of ACROBAT

(iv) In case text searching is required but display quality can not be
compromised: (Files obtained by scanning as above)

(a) Use a OCR Package and save as Document File format (Word)
(b) Proof read Document Files obtained and manually correct errors
introduced in OCR Process.
(c) Print / Convert Document Files as PDF


Hope it helps,

SUKHDEV SINGH, NIC.
