Q: Quartz Filter WARNING!
Does anyone know why the "quartz filters" in this thread just totally trashed a 10 MB pdf with color images so that the images are now a green color and almost unreadable?

I have been desperately trying to find a way to make my pdf's emailable (not to mention small enough so they don't take up 100 GB on my hard drive) but these filters (I'm running 150 dpi) seem to be TRASHING my pdf's.
Anyone know what is up with this?
Do mac users not use pdf's?
Is there a way to downsize my pdf's by buying external software??!!
HEEE-EEEELP!

Jon, I've followed most of that thread.
I don't believe it does move them to the trash, I find none here.
The only chance of recovery would be to quit using that drive at all, boot from a different drive & see if any of these can find remnants of the files, but I don't hold a lot of hope...

(Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
rccharles on file recovery...
"Stellar Phoenix Macintosh - Mac data recovery software, recovers data from damaged, deleted, or corrupted volumes and even from initialized disks."
They have a trial version, so I guess you can see if your data can be recovered...
