Customizing Compression job options The Compression job options let you specify how images are downsampled and compressed, and how text and line art are compressed. Downsampling and compression can significantly reduce the size of the Adobe PDF file, but they can also degrade the quality of images. You may want to experiment with these options to find an appropriate balance between image quality and file size. Downsampling images When you downsample an image, you decrease the number of pixels in the image, resulting in image data being lost. Acrobat Distiller lets you specify how images are downsampled; using average downsampling, bicubic downsampling, or subsampling. After selecting a downsampling method for each image type, enter the desired resolution in dpi for the images. To achieve a smaller file size than with the recommended job options for eBooks, try specifying a desired resolution of 96 dpi for color and grayscale images, and 150 dpi for monochrome images. Next, enter a resolution to determine which images will be resampled (images with a resolution above the value you entered will be resampled). For more information on downsampling images, see Acrobat 5.0 Online Help.
