Compression and downsampling options for PDFs
When exporting documents to Adobe PDF, you can compress text and line art, and compress and downsample bitmap images. Depending on the
settings you choose, compression and downsampling can significantly reduce the size of a PDF file with little or no loss of detail and precision.
The Compression area of the Export Adobe PDF dialog box is divided into three sections. Each section provides the following options for
compressing and resampling color, grayscale, or monochrome images in your artwork.
If you plan to use the PDF file on the web, use downsampling to allow for higher compression. If you plan to print the PDF file at
high resolution, check with your prepress service provider before setting compression and downsampling options.
You should also consider whether users need to magnify a page. For example, if you are creating a PDF document of a map, consider using a
higher image resolution so that users can zoom in on the map.
Downsampling refers to decreasing the number of pixels in an image. To downsample color, grayscale, or monochrome images, choose an
interpolation method—average downsampling, bicubic downsampling, or subsampling—and enter the desired resolution (in pixels per inch). Then
enter a resolution in the For Images Above text box. All images with resolution above this threshold will be downsampled.
The interpolation method you choose determines how pixels are deleted:
Average Downsampling To
Averages the pixels in a sample area and replaces the entire area with the average pixel color at the specified resolution.
Subsampling To
Chooses a pixel in the center of the sample area and replaces the entire area with that pixel color. Subsampling significantly reduces the
conversion time compared with downsampling but results in images that are less smooth and continuous.
Bicubic Downsampling To
Uses a weighted average to determine pixel color, which usually yields better results than the simple averaging method of downsampling.
Bicubic is the slowest but most precise method, resulting in the smoothest tonal gradations.
Determines the type of compression that is used:
Automatic (JPEG)
Determines automatically the best quality for color and grayscale images. For most files, this option produces satisfactory results.
JPEG
Is suitable for grayscale or color images. JPEG compression is lossy, which means that it removes image data and may reduce image
quality; however, it attempts to reduce file size with a minimal loss of information. Because JPEG compression eliminates data, it can
achieve much smaller files sizes than ZIP compression.
ZIP
Works well on images with large areas of single colors or repeating patterns, and for black-and-white images that contain repeating
patterns. ZIP compression can be lossless or lossy, depending on the Image Quality setting.
JPEG 2000
Is the international standard for the compression and packaging of image data. Like JPEG compression, JPEG 2000 compression is
suitable for grayscale or color images. It also provides additional advantages, such as progressive display. The JPEG 2000 option is only
available when Compatibility is set to Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) or later.
Automatic (JPEG 2000)
Determines automatically the best quality for color and grayscale images. The Automatic (JPEG 2000) option is only available when
Compatibility is set to Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) or later.
CCITT And Run Length
Are only available for monochrome bitmap images. CCITT (Consultative Committee on International Telegraphy and Telephony)
compression is appropriate for black-and-white images and any images scanned with an image depth of 1 bit. Group 4 is a general-purpose
method that produces good compression for most monochrome images. Group 3, used by most fax machines, compresses monochrome
bitmaps one row at a time. Run Length compression produces the best results for images that contain large areas of solid black or white.
Grayscale images that have been colorized in InDesign are subject to the compression settings for Color Images. However, grayscale
images colorized with a spot color (and [None] applied to their frames) use the compression settings for grayscale.
Determines the amount of compression that is applied. For JPEG or JPEG 2000 compression, you can choose Minimum, Low,
Medium, High, or Maximum quality. For ZIP compression, only 8-bit is available. Because InDesign uses the lossless ZIP method, data is not
