File size does not reduce after deleting pages

[sandyk]

Hi, I've got a large file I need to break up into smaller pieces then upload to a website. I've been deleting the pages I don't need then saving as a new file name but file size remains the same as the original document. Am I missing a step?

Hello @sandyk,

Thank you for posting on our Community Forums!

Here are some steps you can do to reduce the file size: http://kb.gonitro.com/knowledgebase#/search/reduce/000001940

I have this same problem.  I have a document that is 170 MB, almost 1000 pages.  When I delete half the pages and save, the size goes up slightly.  Are the pages not being deleted?  How do I actually delete pages from the document, not just hide them?  This happens with both halves of the document as well.

Hello Will,

This issue is usually file-specific.

You can provide us with the version you are using and a copy of the file so we can have a look.

Cheers!

I'm using version 12.14.0.558.  The file was 73 pages, and I deleted pages 3-73.  I don't have any way of attaching the file.

Hi,

 

Same problem : when I modify a file (delet some pages) and I save the files , the size is the same as original

When I do "save as" whith a new name, the size decrease !

For exemeple in a case th size is 8000 ko in the other case the size is 734 ko ...

It looks like if the file keep "in memory" the deleted pages.

 

Thanks 

FG

Even when I Save As... with a different name, my files stay the same size.

Still looking for an answer for this question.

@Leslie V.  did you receive the files I sent you and were you able to figure out why the size doesn't change when pages are deleted?

Thanks,

Will
