Any thoughts why Adobe Acrobat's Action Wizard makes file-sizes larger?

[Todd's keyboard]

Thanks for the advice. Always appreciated.

The batch of pdf's was generated by scanning originals flyers, catalogs, mailings, and reports.

May I assume that Filliam's advice does not apply in this situation. I can see it would be worthwhile if a pdf was generated from different programs from scratch.

Also followed the steps suggested in datbeme's first link. My version of Adobe X seems to go through the steps of reducing the file size with a "Save As" option, but it doesn't actually create the new file. (It's possible I haven't found the file yet. I"m on a different machine now. I could not find the Saved As file I was expecting.

thanks again, T's K
