Default How to compress PDF Files ?

Hi,

I have some big pdf files (about 12 Mbytes) and I want to compress them for saving discspace.

I think, I must compress the pictures in these files - but how?

Can you help me?

Default Compression of background images is for me!

I'd like to know this as well. Creating a large PDF with fancy repeated backgrounds makes for a huge file. [Just FYI, I'm printing to CutePDF from Firefox.]

So far as I know, there are some free PDF compress tools around the Internet. However, most pictures inside are already being compressed, very likely, it seems no way to further compress them.
Foxit team presently are too occupied with our PDF tool development to develop such kind of PDF Compressor, unless it is a customerize project.

Currently, you can try Foxit PDF Editor > Edit >Optimize to get rid of aboudant info from your PDFs and decrease the file size.

Each operation with your PDFs, there will many information left and saved together with the PDFs telling what exactly they are about. By open a PDF with pure text mode option, and you will see those staff.
Optimize feature is an operation to get rid of aboundant info that no longer needed.
