Hi and welcome to another quick tip from area 66 has this ever happened to you you have some PDFs of maybe a keynote document or a Pages document you'd like to send somebody and when you go and drag those in to attach those to an email you get an error that says that the file is too big well today I'm going to help you learn how to reduce the size of your PDFs so that you can attach them to your email without going over the size limit so let's take a look first here at our PDFs oftentimes when you save a PDF from keynote it generates a very large file so if I take a look here you can see here is a PDF of a presentation that I put together and if I want to look how large it is if I click on it and come up to file I can come to get info and I can see here that this file is twenty four point nine megabytes now gmail has a limit of 25 Meg's so if I want to send these two presentations together I need to make both of them a little bit smaller let's check how big the other one was I'll go here I'll go file get info and I'll see that that second presentation was ten point two megabytes so those two together are definitely over the 25 Meg limit for gmail so let's go ahead and close out of this and I'm going to show you how to reduce the size of these so that you can attach both of them to a message so we're gonna use an application called Adobe Acrobat Pro and if you're not familiar with Acrobat Pro there are several tutorials on area 66 that can get you familiar with it but it's basically Adobe's Pro application for handling PDF documents I'm going to open up this first one in Acrobat Pro and there's two ways that I can do it if I have it on my dock already I can just drag it to the icon to open it or I can go ahead and I can hold down the control key click my document and then come here to where it says open with and you'll see in a second here it'll pop up with the list of all of the different applications that are able to open that PDF alright so now we can see all of the different applications Asians that can open up that PDF you'll notice that by default preview opens up all the PDFs but for this case I want to use Adobe Acrobat Pro so I'm going to come down here and select it and now this is going to open up that file in Acrobat Pro and I can scroll through it I can see all my different slides that I have in order to reduce the size.
