Utility to shrink PDF files
pg
Size is over 27 MB.
I need to shrink it.
Anyone know any pdf shrinker that can do the trick?
I tried CVista pdfCompressor, it shrinks the 28,523,179 byte file to
27,100,963 byte file.
A less than 4% shrinking.
I downloaded the free PDF Compressor from www.nicepdf.com but the
compressor tells me that my huge pdf file has a wrong version of some
sort.
I know there's one from Apago, but it runs only on OS-X, not Windows.
So in short, is there any shrinker for that huge file?
Please help.
Thanks !

It depends on the content to a great degree. If the bulk is due to the
presence of huge bitmaps, then a tighter compression algorithm may reduce
the bulk but don't expect miraculous results. Unfortunately the biggest
gains are probably to be made using Adobe Acrobat (payware), which can
encode the PDF to a higher version that allows more sophisticated
compression algorithms.

Try a virtual PDF printer like PDFcreator (that's what I use) to
create a new PDF from the original
:
http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator
in the process you can change the compression, resolution etcetera for
a smaller filesize.

That's not huge. Mid-sized perhaps.

If you have access to the source of the document, regenerate it with
better software and/or tighter controls on image size.

Well no wonder. It's stored as near print quality, and 100% pictures. If it
could be redone in regular type, it would be under 500k. I don't know
anything about Asian typefaces, but if the bloke who created it would save
it as an Adobe PDF or even EPS it would be much, much smaller.
I got it down to 10 MB using Acrobat. Didn't try to make it any smaller.

Put all my $$$ to host the file already, can't find any spare change
for Adobe Acrobat.
Perhaps someone here got the Adobe Acrobat, wanna help out, please?

It's a flyer of sort, so as long as the characters are legible, it
doesn't matter much for the graphics.
If you got the chance, could you try to make squeeze it to the
smallest size possible? I wonder how _that_ would look like.

Whoa !
Just a offtopic annoucement !
The above file is no more. Locked up by the Malaysian government !!
Apparently that file carries a list of embarrassing moments of the
Malaysian government and obviously the Malaysian government doesn't
want anyone to know about it.

I saved a copy. I can RIP it into modest size web pages and serve them if
the author needs that. It would be helpful to read what it says, first. Our
Chinese interpreter is out with (ironically) the flu. Maybe it is Japanese.
I wouldn't know.

Instead of serving it yourself, consider submitting the doc to wikileaks

storing and serving up documents from whistle-blowers around the world.
It was recently written up here

The reason they COULD lock up that file on my penangA1.com domain is
because my domain is hosted by a company with servers located in a

I had to trace back the thing to find out that ugly truth. Had I known

While I do have the full Acrobat 8 Pro, by the time I found this thread the
file had been removed from your host. So unless someone gets me the file, I
can't help. For what I put on the web (and the hosting service I noted
above is one of the ones I use, but not for donwiss.com) I use Advanced ->
PDF Optimizer. Acrobat is a little confusing. There are several places
where optimizing appears on the menu.
>Many webmail providers have a limit of 10MB or smaller on email

As far as I know all e-mail systems limit attachments to 25 MB at 7 bits,
or less. A PDF is 8 bits. So even on the best e-mail systems the limit
becomes around 20 MB.
Don Wiss
>About the file, I managed to find another copy of it, and right now
>I've put it on http://bn106.4shared.com
I find this version to be 12.2 MB. I opened it in Acrobat 8.1 Pro. After
Advanced optimization it came to 10.9 MB. There are many settings. I can
reduce the resolution, but it might become hard to read. I next tried
Document -> Reduce File Size. Some of the characters are a little fuzzy,
though probably still readable. It now is slightly bigger!? Next there is
Document -> Optimize Scanned PDF. There are a lot of settings. I'll start
with it in the middle. That made a big change. The characters are darker.
And the size is 1 MB. I'll e-mail it to you.

One of my good friends has MS and I forwarded your page
she has abandoned the traditional medicines

so far she manages (progressive MS) with diet and vitamins and physical
therapy
recently she tried stem cell treatments with good results (2 so far and more
to come)
and she has got new walking aid that delivers a shock to the muscle and
prevents foot drop
it is very impressive
one thing I noticed was a link to low fat diet for MS which many
nutritionists recommend
this is not good for MS patients
and my friend had very bad results with it as well
the nerve sheath needs oils and fats (good ones) in the diet to heal

Since it has 106 items, I can't list them all here. But I'll pick a
few examples ...
In 1987, the Malaysian government rounded up all the people who dare
to speak up against the government, and detained them for years and
years, without trial. The operation was named as "Operation Lalang".
This is a blatant violation of human rights.
In 1999, the Chinese community put out a list of requests, in the hope
that the Malaysian society can have a more leveled playing field for
all people. The government responded by accusing those who signed the
request as "COMMUNIST TERRORISTS".
In year 2001, the government ordered the closure of a Chinese primary
school, without any reason. Forcing the students who study there to
another school situated quite far away. The Chinese community objected
to it, but the government deployed armed police to chase away all the
children and their parents from that school. BTW, that Chinese school
is NOT owned by the government.
The local universities in Malaysia have a policy of limiting the
enrollment of ethnic Chinese students, even when the Chinese students
have scored much higher in all the examinations. The only reason for
the policy is that they want to reserve the slots for the Malays -- of
the majority Muslim population. Unlike America where you have more
university slots than students, in Malaysia, for every 100 eligible
students, there are only 80 slots. This means that the more qualified
Chinese students are shut out of university education, while the much
lower echelon's Malays students get to study. This is yet another
blatant violation of human rights.
In year 2005, the state of Selangor sent a delegation abroad, in the
name of "research". That trip cost the government a lot of money,
millions ! And it was later revealed that part of the delegation's
"research itineraries" included "belly dancing" and other vice
activities.
While the country is poor, with many citizens having no roof over
their head, the government spent 40MILLIONS to build 10 resort houses
for top civil servants. That 40MILLION, if applied in building
ordinary housing for the people, is equivalent to at least 400 houses,
or 2000 apartments !
The above is but a small portion of the 106 items mentioned in the
bn106.pdf file. The Malaysian government has done a lot of terrible
things, and the things I translated are of the "milder" kind. There
are more heinous crimes the Malaysian government has perpetrated.
The file listed 106 incidents done by the Malaysian government, no
added MSG at all. And yet, the government of Malaysia is afraid of the
world know of their dirty laundry. In this aspect alone, the Malaysian
government is no better than the Myanmar or the Chinese regime.
The old adage of "People Who Live In Glass Houses Should Not Throw
Stones" should be applied to the Malaysian government. They do not
want to be treated badly, but yet, they are treating other people
badly.
If they don't want their dirty little secrets to be known to the
world, then they shouldn't have done so many terrible things to their
own citizens.

Mahathir was just lucky. He became the PM of Malaysia at a time when
the foreign monies were knocking at the door.
Even if the PM of Malaysia at that time was a dumbest monkey in the
universe, Malaysia would have enjoyed an economic boom also.

pg, this is all a bit off topic in these newsgroups so we should not
extend our discussion any more thannecessary. I would just say that
I'm very supportive of the Chinese minority in Malaysia. However one
has to remain sensitive to the fact that the 51% native Malays have
become almost outnumbered by the vast number of immigrants.
Yes, there is horrible outright discrimination of non-Malays but the
alternative may be a very messy punch up over who actually runs
Malaysia - the original ethinic people or the immigrants. Do not
misunderstand me, Bumi-preference is very wrong. The Bumis are very
privileged but so breathtakingly idle such that many are still
economically and educationally backward. However, in a nasty punch
up like in the 60s I don't think the Bumi's are going to lose.

Mahathir is a thug. And also a dictator. He was lucky. Very lucky
indeed. But let's not deny that he brought a great deal more
prosperity than anyone ever imagined possible. I did not believe
many of his economic policies would work at all (and many of his
claimed attributions weer lies). But to Mahathir's credit they
actually did. At least he's a competent dictator, which isn't saying
much.
What's more, Mahathir has a bit too much of a mouth on him and he has
always overplayed his anti-western rhetoric way too much for my own
liking.
>> I hope you mentioned Anwar Ibrahim.

Two wrongs do not make a right. Anwar was imprisoned, brutally
handled and obviously false charges brought in show trials. You may
hate Anwar but that does not mean you should deny what Mahathir and
his thugs did against Anwar was wrong. Do not fall into the trap
that such things are wrong only when it happens against people whom
you consider to be "good".
Let's wrap this exchange up soon.

I thank you for your reply, but gotta point out some factual errors in
your message, namely ..
The Malays are NOT the indigenous people of Malaysia.
The TRUE indigenous people of Malaysia are the Orang Asli.
The fact is that the REAL indigenous people are not counted as
"bumputras", while the FAKE one, the Malays, are bumiputras. Here lies
the problem !!
I, and MANY, MANY non-bumis in Malaysia, have NO PROBLEM in having a
bumiputra policy if the bumiputras are the Orang Asli. After all, this
is THEIR LAND. The Chinese, along with the Malays and the Indians, are
all descendants of immigrants.
The bumiputra policy was copied from America's Affirmative Action,
wherein the weak, the underprivileged, the minorities get help from
Affirmative Action.
But on the other hand, in Malaysia, the AA concept was turned totally
upside-down. It is used to help the FAKE indigenous, the Malays, who
compost of 36% of the population.
The real number of Malays in Malaysia is 36% of the total population,
NOT 51% ! The regime that controls Malaysia currently plays fast and
loose with numbers, and they include people from Sarawak and Sabah
(Kadazan, Dusuns, et cetera), who are definitely NOT Malays, as
Malays.
Although the indigenous people of Sabah and Sarawak are counted as
bumiputras, they NEVER get to enjoy the privileges of bumiputras,
unlike the Malays.
You see, this is how the Malaysian government is doing - they have a
bumiputra policy, so to give themselves, the Malays, all kinds of
unfair privileges -
Such as a discount on house purchase
Can you believe that filthy rich Malays purchase houses
worth TENS OF MILLIONS,
still get a discount, while poor Indians, purchasing
houses woth tens of thousands,
can never get any discount ?? )
Such as enrollment into higher learning institutes
Can you believe that a Malay students who can't even pass
any exam can enroll
into universities while a Kadazan (also counted as a
bumiputra) with an excellent
score is NOT allowed to study in the same university ?
It's all a trick. The bumiputra policy is structured in such a way
that it only benefits the Malays. It won't benefit the REAL indigenous
people, such as the Orang Asli.
BTW, do you know that the vast majority of Orang Asli are still living
inside jungle? They are still living in area with no electricity, no
pipe water, nothing?
Do you know that the average life expectancy of the Orang Asli is in
the 40's? Yes, in this age and time, people are dying in their 40's
and they are the descendants of the TRUE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE of
Malaysia !!
Horrible outright discrimination to non-Malays is one thing, horrible
outright discrimination to the Orang Asli is another ! For if Malaysia
truly believes in the bumiputra policy, that is, to give privilege to
the REAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLE so that they can get live better, then the
bumiputra policy should be changed in ONE SIMPLE ASPECT -
To declare that the Malays are NOT bumiputra and the Orang Asli,
on the other hand, are!
The Chinese people, as well as the Indian people would be very
supportive of such policy. We have no objection to a policy that gives
privileges to the descendants to the REAL OWNER of the land we live
in.
However, we would object to a FALSE policy that will only benefit the
Malays, who themselves are the same as the Chinese and Indians, are
descendants of IMMIGRANTS !
About Mahathir
Mahathir is not only a thug, he is a TERRORIST !
Mahathir bin Mohammad supports Al Queda !
Do you know the 9-11 bombing of the twin-towers in NYC ?
Before the bombing, Al Queda had a meeting. All the heads of the Al
Queda terrorist group came to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia,
and had a meeting.
The topic of their discussion is the 9-11 bombing !
They ironed out all the details of the bombing, including who to sent,
who to lead, how to do it, what's the target, and so on, and so forth.
And I am not making this up ! In fact, the CIA - yes, the Central
Intelligent Agency - of the United States of America, did know of the
meeting, and had secretly taped the conversations between the heads of
the Al Queda terrorist groups while they were in Kuala Lumpur !
Of all the cities in the world, why Al Queda chose Kuala Lumpur as
their meeting place? The answer is simple, they got Mahathir as their
supporter !
Mahathir not only support Al Queda in spirit, he supports Al Queda in
military training, in arms smuggling, in money laundering, and so on.
In fact, in the state of Kedah, the state where Mahathir came from,
there was a shrimp farm owned by non-other than Osama bin Laden ! The
shrimp farm is now closed, due to bad management.
And to attribute Mahathir for the development of is akin to attribute
Osama bin Laden for the re-building of the Twin Tower site in the
NYC !!
Malaysia boomed during the 80's. That was the time huge amounts of
monies were flowing out of America, Japan and Europe, looking for some
new places to invest, and at that time, China hasn't really opened up
yet.
So the monies flowed to countries in the South East Asia region.
Almost all the countries in the SEA region benefited tremendously from
the huge amount of FDI. Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines,
Malaysia, Indonesia, even Hong Kong and Macao, got one huge investment
after another !
Malaysia wasn't the only country experiencing the economic boom at
that time.
That is why I said, in my previous message, even if you put the
dumbest monkey in the universe as the Prime Minister of Malaysia,
Malaysia would STILL be having an economic boom !!
Mahathir was just lucky, that's all !
Please do not attribute too much good things to Mahathir. This guy is
a disaster to all !
He supports terrorism. He is a racist. He hates everybody except his
own Muslims. He is the head of a systemic corrupted regime. Under his
"tutelage", Malaysia suffered uncountable financial lost.
Today, Malaysia is STILL suffering. We got hundreds of WHITE ELEPHANT
PROJECTS everywhere. From HUGE STADIUMS that are collapsing to VACANT
PORTS that lie vacant since they were built.
All these white elephants are the result of Mahathir's corruption
scheme - in the name of "developing the country", he wasted BILLIONS
of tax payers' money in building these OVERPRICED and totally
unnecessary structures. The fact that the stadiums are collapsing is
because they are poorly built. The fact that the ports are still
vacant is because there simply is no need for them to begin with.
The biggest failure of the world today is the election of George W.
Bush as the president of the United States. George W. Bush isn't only
a lousy president, he is also not able to root out the REAL CAUSE of
WORLD-WIDE ISLAMIC TERRORISM - guys like Mahathir bin Mohammad ought
to have been apprehended long time ago for his support of Al Queda,
but till today, Mahathir is still free.
The military of Malaysia has been used to train a lot of the
terrorists. Terrorists that are still operating in southern Thailand,
southern Philippines, Indonesia, were trained by the Malaysian army.
The terrorists were trained on how to make bombs, they were also
trained in electronics so that they know how to convert cell-phone as
the remote detonator for their road side bombs. The terrorists also
received jungle survival traning, guerrilla tactics, and so on.
We know all that because we know WHICH army camps the terrorists got
their training !
If people such as me, a civilian, can know about the location of army
camps whereby the terrorists from Al Queda and the Islamic Jemiah
received their traning, surely spy agencies such as the Central
Intelligent Agency, with all their sophisticated gadgetries, ought to
have MORE on this.
But do you see any action from George W. Bush ?
Other than attacking Iraq and killing Saddam Hussein, whom by the way,
was OPPOSED to the Al Queda movement, what else can George W. Bush
do ?
Why is Mahathir bin Mohammad not arrested yet ? Why is people from
UMNO not arrested yet? Why is UMNO not declared a terrorist cell?
Why?
And on the other hand, false propaganda still flows from Malaysia to
the world, telling the world that Mahathir is such a great guy,
without him Malaysia wouldn't have developed.
All these are propagandas by UMNO.
Malaysia would developed, with or without UMNO. The fact is that
Malaysia, as well as Singapore, were colonies of the British Empire.
When the Brits left, they left behind a very well structured system of
law, and a lot of educated people.
The rise of Singapore ought not be viewed as a miracle, because
Singapore benefited tremendously from what they got from Britain. So
is Malaysia.
Plus, the Brits also imported the Indians and the Chinese into both
Singapore and Malaysia. These two groups of immigrants are famous for
their hard works, for their resiliency, and for their ability to
survive under ALL conditions.
With the Indians and the Chinese, Malaysia would have boomed, with or
without UMNO, with or without Mahathir. That's a fact !
I understand that this is a totally off-topic message in these
newsgroups, but I need to tell you the real truth, or the insidious
propaganda from UMNO would have spread through these newsgroups as
well.
About Anwar. What happened between Anwar and Mahathir, is between
Anwar and Mahathir. No more, no less.
And as I have pointed out to you, Anwar isn't that better than
Mahathir either.
The only difference between Anwar and Mahathir is that Anwar got a
"second life", so to speak. After been severely and unfairly punished
by Mahathir, he got the support from the US, and right now he is
"turning a new leaf", so to speak, in the way he talk, act, et cetera.
But deep down inside .... who can understand what Anwar truly wants?
What's between Anwar and Mahathir ought to stay that way. Let them
fight it out. Don't involve the people into this, and don't drag the
entire country of Malaysia into their pitiful fight.
pg
At least those ended up in the Guantanamo Bay "DID" something - like
bringing down the Twin Towers in NYC.
Those got detained by the regime that is still controlling Malaysia,
on the other hand, did NOTHING ILLEGAL !!!
They are not armed men. They don't kill people. They don't even ask
other people to kill people - unlike many so-called "holy" and
"religious: people we see today.
And they are detained, without trial.
So please, don't try to link the two case together.
Thank you !

Well, I have that too, but I generally only put that link in my signature
when I'm in a photography newsgroup.
>you have lot of nutritional healing links a surprise!
Yep. But I have been very bad about updating them. I instead spend my time
on my pictures (like my most famous Brooklyn StoreFronts). And my latest is
a site for the former family company.

I am aware of the logic here. I hope she has success.
I tried with one MS patient I knew her when growing up. She was the
smartest and prettiest in her class. After she got MS her husband divorced
her. She is now living in state housing on disability. I contacted her and
wanted to send her some of the MS diet books. But her family are all
doctors. They were afraid I was going to get her to stop taking her
medications. They convinced her to stop talking with me. Oh well, at least
I tried.

Sure, all of them, that's why they released 400+ of them and are
planning to release 200+ more.

indeed

Why not, there are a lot of similarities.
