Optimising PDF files for the web
If your website offers PDF downloads, it pays to optimise those pdf files for faster access.
In general, higher the PDF version number, smaller the file.
To create the smallest possible PDFs for the Web minimize the number of fonts, bitmapped images, and substitute vector based-graphics instead. Minimize the number and complexity of forms in your PDF document, and avoid the use of multimedia.
The "Speed Up Your Site:Web Site Optimization" offers similar practical tips. At its complementary website, excerpts of the book and Web Page Analyzer - a website performance tool are available.
