I’m writing a Master thesis when I need to include several photographs, but I’ve got a problem with the size of the generated PDF: 18MB, which is more or less the cumulated size of all the picture included.
How can I tell Latex not to keep the original picture and reduce it, but to shrink the picture before including it in the PDF?
I use \includegraphics[height=6cm]{img/cinema.jpg} to include my figures.
Thanks
You need to reduce the size of your pictures yourself before you include them (with software of your choice). That’s the simple solution.
I think the rationale for including in full is that PDF is a vectorial page description language, and you might want to render a page at an arbitrary resolution later.
