PDFs are extremely versatile for business, particularly for sending different types of formatted documents and media in one multi-page file. Brochures, presentations, contracts, text documents, portfolios and newsletters are compatible across multiple platforms when sent as PDFs. The problem: With multiple pages, images and format sizes, PDFs can become huge, making them difficult to email and download. If you are using OS X, two available options for reducing PDFs include using Preview and an often-forgotten application called ColorSync Utility. Preview offers a one size-reduction option which is useful for simple documents where loss of quality aren't of great importance. For more detailed documents with images, ColorSync Utility provides a preset to compress PDFs, and also enables you to create your own custom settings for higher quality. Show
