Just wondering if anyone can help me as I'm trying to put together a manual, and wanted to try a different format than PDF as the end result was over 200MB in size. I'm trying to use DjVu but can't seem to get a good setup for it. Basically I want the main pages to be greyscale, with the front and back covers in colour.
If anyones got any pointers that would be much appreciated.
Tried something like that ? Compress PDF online. Same PDF quality less file size (http://www.ilovepdf.com/compress_pdf)
Compression as SRS said is a way.
Also you can try OCR conversion as it will reduce the size significantly, plus you can search keywords ;D
Compression, but I wouldn't use an online tool, it will take forever. Try using something like PDF24 Creator and mess about with the quality and compression settings.

I wouldn't go near
PDFCreator, as it's long been known to be infested with malware. It's a shame, because I used it in its early years before the developers included malware with it, and it was a really useful tool for generating PDFs.

They offer ads-free version for just 10 EUR, perhaps this one do not install any malware. You can also build it on your own :) - the source is available here :github.com/pdfforge/PDFCreator (http://github.com/pdfforge/PDFCreator)
The one I use is this: PDF Creator & Converter kostenlos - PDF erstellen - PDF24 (https://de.pdf24.org/) It definitely doesn't have any malware in it, just a sheep?

Oh crap: PDFCreator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDFCreator?oldformat=true#Adware_toolbar_controversy) . Strangely, I never got any toolbars, nor any suspicious behavior afterwards. Maybe I'm just extra careful when installing...
