SoFoBoMo: Earl’s gracious offer

Posted by Paul on Friday, April 25, 2008 · 3 Comments 

My friend, Earl Moore, of Meandering Passage has offered to run compression on any SoFoBoMo PDF. So, if you are using Scribus, like I am, and would like to post a smaller PDF than Scribus can generate, head on over there and give Earl a shout and he’ll help you out.

Earl, thanks much for your kind offer. Here is the smaller version of my book, about 3 MB. The full sized, 18 MB is still available here, if you want to see it. You can notice a difference in picture quality, but it still looks good.

Again, thanks Earl!!!

    Looking at Scribus, in the Save as PDF options/ settings, you might want to try changing the image compression settings as follows:

    compression method Lossy-JPG
    compression quality High
    Enable resample images to and set it to 96 dpi

    Also switch on compress text and vector graphics, and set the resolution for EPS graphics to 96dpi as well

    Might help – particularly for those that are hitting 100Mb files like Anil

    Paul, Your “Beyond First Impressions” is good stuff. I particularly like the way all parts flow together in harmony just like the subject matter.
