I have a PDF that is approximately 1700 pages long. Somehow it is only about 215MB in it's current state. Unfortunately, I need to file this with an entity that accepts ONLY 7MB chunks at a time. I tried two different things with strange results:
1. I resaved the PDF to my desktop so I could work with it, without damaging the original. When I resaved the PDF it ballooned to about 4.5GB of data.
2. I also attempt to extract some 200-page chunks from the PDF and, again, it ballooned to a huge amount of data.
I am very confused about that I did and how to resave it in smaller pieces, without this happening (additionally I will need to add title pages and some other pages to each 7MB chunk that I create, so I am at a loss of how to do this -- but I know that I cannot end up filing something like 400 chunks -- I already was going to have problems with filing the 30-something I currently have).
