Reduce PDF file size
Reducing the size of PDFs improves their performance—particularly when they’re being accessed on the web.
1 Choose Document > Reduce File Size.
2 Select the version compatibility you need, and click OK.
3 Specify a filename and location, and click Save.
If you’re certain that all your users use Acrobat 8 or Adobe Reader 8, limiting compatibility to the latest version can
further reduce file size.

Work area basics
View the work area
Acrobat opens in two different ways: as a stand-alone application, and in a web browser. The associated work areas
differ in small but important ways.
The Acrobat work area includes a document pane that displays PDFs and a navigation pane on the left side that helps
you browse through the current PDF. Toolbars near the top of the window provide other controls that you can use
to work with PDFs.
Note: Opening certain types of PDFs causes specialized parts of the work area to appear: the document message bar and
PDF package navigation features. For other types of PDFs, these areas are not seen and not available.
