for Mac owners

I need to reduce the size of a group of photos. They were saved full size photos and would like to make them small for a project my neighborhood is doing. Does anyone know of a program I can use without spening any additional money that will do a batch resizing? In other words, does iPhoto or Photo do this?

I also have a fillable PDF form which has a section for a photo to be included. Unfortunately, the photo section isn't fillable. I don't own Adobe Acrobat nor am I going to buy it. Do you know of a program which is either free or fairly cheap that can do this? Thanks.

I don’t have a Mac but did a search on batch resize image collection using Preview and it seems like this would work. Select all images, right click and open with Preview...resize and save. This is an AppleInsider update.

Either one should. Which versions are you using?
Read the Help menu(s). If they are of no help, suggest you post in the iPhoto & Photo Apple forums. Experts there will provide step by step instructions. In the meantime, seach for answers on Macworlds website as will as OXDaily. Both of those sites provide step by step instructions.

Which OS are you using? I am still on OS 10.12.6. A few months ago I dragged a pic from my desktop right onto a PDF. I use Preview to view my PDFs as well viewing through my browser. How are you viewing your PDF's.

Suggest that you post your concern on Apple's OS forum. The experts there will refer you to loads of free programs if Preview is not to your liking. BTW, if you are using Preview to read your PDFs, did you read its Help menu on how to add pics?

I figured out how to do the resizing which was simple and I really didn't need to post the question. The fillable PDF file is another story. From what I've found, I need a program to do the task and I'm not going to spend a lot of money. Thanks.
