Save as Optimised PDF from Adobe Acrobat Professional configurator

Post by LasseThid »

Does anyone know if it is possible to save a pdf file as an optimised pdf using the Adobe Acrobat Professional configurator?

I can't find any options for it, so I assume you would have to use a script to do it if it's possible, but how would you write the script to save the file as an optimised pdf with a specific setting in that case?

Hi Lasse
about 98% certain you can't.
You can combine PitStop cleanup and GhostScript.
GhostScript clears all overhead etc.

Thanks for the information.

We will use PitStop server then.

If you have (or can upgrade to) PitStop 2021 released last week, it has a new action list called "Optimize PDF (emulates Acrobat optimized save)" which should get you similar results than in Acrobat:

Thanks for the information patej.

I do have it, just haven't gotten around to install it. Now I really do have a reason to do it... :lol:
