[Hidden-tech] Trouble compressing a PDF using WinRAR

[Merlin Calo]

I had to double check yet the original file was a pdf, and when you scan anything isn't it always an image..

I printed the pdf doc, signed it, then scanned the signed document, then saved it as a pdf using AI..

So are you saying one solution would have been to sign it electronically, and in order to do this I need to have the full version of Adobe Acrobat. I did try this if thats what you mean, yet I think I was just using Adobe Reader 9.

By faxing it to your myfax account, do you mean you signed the pdf document electronically in a full version of adobe acrobat, fax it your myfax account, convert it to a pdf there, and then send it via email?

I have never done this, yet if you sign a document electronically using a full version of adobe acrobat like you said, what makes this valid? Can't anyone claim to be you and sign it...

Just want to clarify...

Thanks!

This sounds to me like it was scanned as a image, not as a document -- take makes the whole thing one big image,
hence big and not compressible more.

I'd have recaned it as a pdf of text and then add the signature to the pdf -- you will need to have the full Adobe acrobat to be able to do that.
Or what we do sometimes, fax it to our myFax account and email the pdf it makes :)
