Refrying with PDF Optimizer

PDF Optimizer (Advanced >PDF Optimizer . . . ) performs this service much more conveniently. Its settings resemble Distiller's, and they enable you to downsample images, remove embedded fonts, or remove unwanted PDF features. You can also change the PDF compatibility to Acrobat 5. Click OK and it will create a new PDF for you. Compare this new PDF with the original and decide whether to keep it or try again. The best time to use the PDF Optimizer is just before you put the PDF online.

To simply make your Acrobat 6 PDF compatible with Acrobat 5, select File >Reduce File Size . . . instead of the PDF Optimizer.
