A large PDF file can be created if the PDF file contains images. This is usually the main reason for a PDF that is too large. A PDF file that contains only text is usually much smaller. If a PDF contains images, you can use PDF24 to make them very small by reducing the size and quality of the images.

Thanks a lot!
I've been looking for a way to do this for a while. I scan quite a lot of documents for archival purposes, but when I have to E-Mail one of them, they are usually to large. The included reduce file size PDF option is just crap.
interesting, but definitely not original, this topic is found a lot of times on the web

I scanned through the same topic last week myself, but defaulted to finding an app that does it way better than my ability to futz with libraries. Take a look at PDF Squeezer on the App Store – for $1.99, you cannot beat it. I know it may not be hacky enough, but as a basic user, this program rocks!

You can edit or add new filters using the GUI:
/Applications/Utilities/ColorSync Utility
oh. what an overlook from my side!
Telecharge customer service phone number. best of all, it also puts them in user Library, good when upgrading.
I found that your settings as described didn't yield good results. None of them resulted in a clear pdf. As such I also adjusted the ImageScaleFactor setting in the quartz filter file. With these settings, the high quality filter was indistinguishable from the 'no quartz filter' file.
For this test I used a 1.2 MB jpg file and exported it to pdf. Here's my filter settings and resulting file size:
PDF with no quartz filter file size: 4.4 MB

Compression Quality: 0.5
ImageScaleFactor: 0.5

Cannot understand why you edited filters by hand when it's years that there is the ColorSync Utility app in your Mac that makes all this editing definitely easier.
I have tried on several occasions to use Colorsync utility to create reduced file-size output settings like this. However every time I ended up frustrated by the sheer bugginess of the colorsync utility. Settings would revert to the defaults after saving the preset, etc.
I'm definitely going to try the approach outlined in this hint.
Having this facility is great when you are preparing a pdf file to send to a print shop and you want someone to proof-read your work without having to send them a 20 Mb+ file.
'Having this facility is great when you are preparing a pdf file to send to a print shop and you want someone to proof-read your work without having to send them a 20 Mb+ file.'
That's one of the reasons I use Colorsync Utility to create PDF filters. I made three different filters with three different compression results that I use according to the output needs: archiving, proofreading, send to print shop.
I made my filters with Colorsync Utility and I didn't occur in the problems you mentioned. It's real thet C.U. is quirky and you need to know its idiosyncrasies, but it gets its jobs done.
great post.
But does anyone know some way to merge different pdf in same file using export function and reduce size at the same time?
When I need to merge and reduce PDF file size I need to do too many steps.
open pdf 1
open pdf 2
move pages from pdf2 to pdf1
print as PDF (generate new PDF merged)
open PDF Merged
export > reduce file size
Some tip?

There is a major bug in Lion (up to 10.7.4 so far) so that user Quartz Filters created in ColorSync Utility don't work.
So duplicating the system filters and editing in a text editor is your only choice for now.
Is there a way to get these to show up in the Filter Dropdown menu with different names? Despite naming the files with Good, Better and Best in their name, they all have the same name; Reduce Fie Size. Is this file's name determined in the file's code?
Question: How do I calculate ImageSizeMax for US Standard 8.5' x 11' paper size? Great hint. Thank you!

Yes there are other 'versions' of this that can be found on the web but this is a helpful addition! This (PDF file size) can be a frustrating area.
I particularly like the way you can show the different file sizes in Preview -- that is very helpful.
Thank you for the help.

Are these settings wiped out when updating the OS?
Mavericks update: This hint works reasonably well in Mavericks, but all four settings have the same name in the drop down menu in the Export command from Preview.app. I used the names suggested, and of the four identical appearing names for Quartz filters, best is on top, and proceeds decrescendo (downwards) to the default filter.
Mavericks accepted /System/Library/Filters/ as a site for the new files. Reboot did not resolve. I've decided not to care, but if a remedy is proposed, I agree to notice.

Change the string near the end of the file to whatever you prefer:

Reduce File Size Best
In Mavericks 10.9.4 I was able to use the ColorSync Utility to duplicate and modify the filter. however to make it show up in Preview, I had to move the .qfilter files from user/library/filters to system/library/filters.
