![]() If you keep it simple and don’t muck around too much with the settings, you can get a good result. But, if there are any oddities in the document, you can end up with errors coming from who-knows-which-page. Acrobat has some very powerful file reduction features and granular control under the file > save as (from drop down choose Adobe PDF Files, Optimized). PDF PenPro uses the same ‘filter’ as Preview, so you’re not going to get much mileage there. Using Preview, you’re likely to get a reduction that makes small text difficult to read. In Preview, select file > export, then choose ‘Quartz Filter’ and ‘Reduce File Size’ from the drop down menus. Option #2 – Use built in tools for Acrobat, Preview or PDF PenPro. Of course, printing and re-scanning the document eliminates many of the efficiencies associated with using electronic versions of the file and wastes a tremendous amount of paper. Option #1 – Print and rescan the entire document and scan ‘good’ scan settings, i.e. Keep in mind that reducing below 150 dpi using any of these procedures may make small text virtually unreadable and may also effect the ability to convert to usable OCR. File size remains a function of the analog document. However, if you think you can compress a 452 page exhibit down to 10mb, you’re probably dreaming. Cleaning up the pdf can often reduce the file size and allow filing without splitting up the document into multiple uploads. We have no control over the settings when creating the original document. PDF files now come from a variety of sources (clients, opposing counsel, online). Often times, a file that seems too large to upload as a single document can be compressed or reduced in size. Our local federal district court limits PDF file size to 10mb. Our local e-filing (Utah) limits file size to about 7mb. But, getting file sizes right can be a huge headache.

This is a great example of an indie developer seeing an opportunity and making the most of it. Although Outline is not free like OneNote, right now they’re offering a 30% discount for former Circus Ponies Notebook users. So, rejoice Notebook users, there is now an opportunity to breathe some life into your beloved notes. Of course, Outline also works as a standalone app without using OneNote or Microsoft OneDrive and can sync via Dropbox, iCloud and Box. ![]() ![]() Another benefit of Outline over OneNote is the built-in ability to create a hyperlinked hierarchical Table of Contents to all notebook sections and pages.įinally, Outline offers a very smooth export to PDF where OneNote just seems to make this task difficult. The interface is better and more flexible in some ways than OneNote. Originally, OneNote was not available on the iPad and this developer put together Outline as a solution for accessing, reading and editing OneNote files. Outline originated as an iOS app that could read-write to Microsoft OneNote. Outline runs on Mac and iPads and, here’s the really nice part, works with Microsoft OneNote. To run AppleScripts with a keyboard shortcut, I use either Keyboard Maestro or Alfred.A rather nice little app called Outline is going to release an import utility for Circus Ponies Notebooks. In this way, I can select any text, copy it (so the original version is available in ClipMenu’s history), change the case, and paste back. To customize the script to my needs, I set someText to get the contents of my clipboard, change the case, then turn the result over to the clipboard again. Essentially, the script takes the someText property and transforms its text items through changeCase to four possible options: upper, lower, title, and sentence. Among all the possible combinations of AppleScript to change text to a particular case format, I like this one by forum member “kai”. Normally, I would recommend installing WordService by DEVONtechnologies, but that’s a system Service, and I don’t seem to be able to install those without logging out and back in (I didn’t want to log out).Īs I’ve come to learn lately, when you’re looking for ways to automate your Mac, the solution has likely already been posted on MacScripter.
