It appears you're asking about how to compress PDF files using Adobe, as the provided information doesn't address folder compression. Here's how to compress a PDF file using Adobe's tools:
While Adobe software doesn't directly compress folders, you can compress the PDF files within a folder. This is done typically on a mobile device or within Adobe's online services. Here's how you'd compress a PDF file, based on the provided instructions:
- Start the Compression: Begin by tapping the Compress PDF option within the Adobe application.
- Optional Step: After the PDF compression is completed, you can then select the Open option to view the compressed file. This allows you to immediately check the quality of the compressed PDF.
- File Location: The compressed file is saved back to the original location. This could be your device, Adobe Document Cloud, Google Drive, or another designated location, as of February 22, 2021.
It's important to understand that this process will only compress individual PDF files and not the folders themselves. If you need to compress an entire folder, you may need to use operating system-level tools or third-party archiving software.
Key things to remember:
- Adobe primarily focuses on working with PDF documents.
- Compression reduces file size and does not affect the directory structure.
- Compressed PDF files will usually be smaller and faster to share.
If you intended to ask about compressing a folder directly, you may need to use software like WinZip, 7-Zip, or the built-in operating system compression utilities (for example, right-click > send to > compressed in Windows).
