<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an 85 page Word Document with 85 images, and when I convert it to PDF the file size becomes 1.33 GB!<br />
<br />
That is totally unacceptable.<br />
<br />
I am flummoxed that the file could never be so huge. These image are in the size range of 1MB to 10 MB.<br />
<br />
Are there different file formats I could use that convert better? <br />
<br />
How do I reduce the resolution to those images? I am hoping for a Word feature that lets me reduce resolution inside Word versus me needing to handle each image outside of Word, which will take the whole day.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Photos / Graphics Software

Websites use graphics to enhance information, assist navigation, and generally improve the user’s experience. To create those graphics, developers use any number of programs, like the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Flash have their own topics), the CorelDraw suite, Xara, Gimp, ACDSee, Serif, ULead and others.

Web Graphics Software

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
