You are truly one of the worst pieces of shit to ever post on this board. Start giving up your paycheck for reparations now and then you can shut the fuck up about your racist blasts.

I was addressing smart people. If I have a question on teenie bopper hipster buzz bands I'll PM you directly.

Not sure how much context is needed. Just need to know how to reduce the size of a pdf document. Let's say somebody sends me an attachment that's 10 MB - how can I shrink it down to 1 or 2 MB? I know that Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 has this capability but I no longer have access to that program.

Context helps so people can help come up with solutions to your problem, dumbfuck. Aside from Acrobat, I don't think there is necessarily a way to decrease the size of a PDF file. If you are concerned about being able to send a PDF over email and aren't sure if you can successfully send a 10 MB file over email (you're likely right), try sending it via sendspace or some other remote file hosting that sends a link to download.

But, I'm sure you already knew that. Go fuck yourself, tard.

I'd say the easiest way to reduce .pdf file sizes would be to stop channelling your inner Dinsdale, and type less, assface.

Either that, or try restoring to a previous date.

Generally speaking, yes. My question didn't require further context. Simply put, if you had to ask that question, then chances are you aren't going to be able to help.

A simple Google search with my question yields a bunch of different programs for download, but I'm not going to start downloading willy nilly, so I figured I'd check here first to see if someone had any recommendations.
