4 Ways To Reduce The Size Of A PDF File So in my desperate search for ways to optimize PDF files, I’ve found that there aren’t many free options. Although there are a lot of shareware programs, there are also, thankfully, a few free programs can help you reduce a PDF file size. Irfanview & GhostScript [Windows & Possibly Linux] If you don’t have Irfanview, you should really consider downloading it. Once you have Ghostscript installed, you can use Irfanview (portable version will work as well) to view PDF files and save them as new files. You can choose to save with lossless, best, high, medium, and ‘dump’ quality. PrimoPDF [Windows] PrimoPDF is a desktop application that allows you to create PDF files from image files and documents. It installs itself as a virtual printer, which makes optimizing PDF files a matter of opening the files and printing them with PrimoPDF, though you can also drag and drop documents to the PrimoPDF desktop shortcut. For the smallest file size, choose the Screen setting.

mental_floss Blog HTML5 and the future of the Web There's been a lot of talk lately about the future of the Web. For instance, Wired had a cover story a couple months back proclaiming "The Web is Dead." And when I was at BlogWorld last month in Vegas, one of the main topics was how blogs are going to survive "In a world, where browsers are no longer..." If anything is going to save the browser and the Web, it's going to be HTML5, and other improvements to the current HTML. HTML, if you don't know, stands for hypertext markup language and is the main set of tags we use to create Web pages and display information on a Web browser. HTML5, which is coming to a browser near you very soon, has tags for animation, video and all sorts of cool interactive components that will blow your mind. The idea here is that you can help make the video by entering in your childhood snail mail address (or any other address you'd like). Who knows what the future of the Web holds.
