Aktuell nutze ich Tools von Drittanbietern, wenn ein:e Auftraggeber:in eine kleinere Dateigröße haben will als sie beim »normalen« PDF-Export aus InDesign & Co produziert wird.
Im PDF-Standard 2.0 wird gerade eine bessere Kompression implementiert. Mit Brotli, ursprünglich von Google entwickelt, sollen die PDF-Dateien viel kleiner werden.
Die PDF Association hat dazu einen informativen Text veröffentlicht inklusive Beispieldateien.

Holy cow! 
How hard could it be to sign a PDF on #Linux!? 
FoxitReader hangs and OnlyOffice seems not having this feature. You can draw in the pdf viewer, but thats useless... I ended up borrowing an iPad with a pen to do the trick.
The ideas that I've found online are overcomplicated.
Do you have any hints what app to use? If only #Vivaldi would have such a feature!
Medley Interlisp has some support for modern technology such as PDF. To view a PDF file evaluate (SEE-PDF file) at an Interlisp Exec, or select the file in a File Browser and click on "See". This will open the file in the default PDF viewer of your operating system.

29 Jul 2025 webinar: That Doesn't Need to Be a PDF
Hear how agencies can design an HTML-first approach for electronic content using “@media print” for a superior printing experience (because yes, some people do use paper) during a panel discussion with experts from FDIC, USAB, and GSA when a PDF document is the proper solution.

Dans la dernière version de SignaturePDF, il y a la possibilité de générer un livret !!! Pour les infokiosques notamment c'est très pratique : avec des feuilles A4 imprimées en recto/version et pliées en deux, on obtient un petit livre A5 prêt à être agrafé.

All your PDFs are belong to us, diz a Adobe.
A leitura de seus arquivos PDF nos programas deles significa que vão ser usados para treinamento de IA.
Se você não quer isso e só costuma ler PDFs, veja essas alternativas ao Acrobat Reader:
- Firefox e derivados
- Chromium e derivados
- SumatraPDF (Windows)
- MJ PDF (Android)
- Camelot (Android, LineageOS)

Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click “No,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.
THE PROBLEM
I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.
I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.

Enfin, dans l’objectif de répondre aux contraintes d’une temporalité éditoriale extraordinairement restreinte, un #convertisseur de fichiers (https://outdesign.deborderbollore.fr/) a été produit afin que les textes figurant sur deborderbollore.fr puissent être générés directement à partir du fichier #InDesign ayant servi à l’impression du #PDF.

You should always use the smallest legible font in your wordprocessor. Otherwise, the resulting PDF will be too heavy and will make your electrical wiring burst.
