How do I reduce file sizes for email attachments
Ihave recently downloaded the free Adobe Acrobat 6.0 on to my PC.
The PC has a Windows 2000 Professional (based on NT technology) operating system and Microsoft Office 2000. Since downloading Acrobat, I am unable to reduce the size and save any graphics or documents for attaching to emails. Can anyone suggest a way to overcome this problem other than spending over $500 to buy the full Adobe product? Surely Microsoft have a way of reducing file sizes for attachments. |

If you recently downloaded what you have called Adobe Acrobat, check again, it is Adobe Reader 6.0. The name was changed over a year ago because of the confusion. There are free PDF writers for personal use, the one that comes to mind is Win2PDF. It installs as a printer on your system. Available at http://www.win2pdf.com |

This is irrelevant to Adobe PDFs or Word docs, but the best way to reduce
file size for any attachment (with the exception, usually, of JPEGs, which are already compressed) is to compress them using WinZip or another compression utility. A trial version of WinZip is free (www.winzip.com), and the full product is just $29--a tremendous bargain for the functionality it offers (such as automatic Zip and Email). -- Suzanne S.
