Questions
How much smaller will my PDF get?
It depends on what's inside. PDFs with photos or scans often shrink by half or more. Text-only PDFs are usually already small.
What if my PDF can't be compressed further?
If we can't make it smaller, we give you back the original rather than a bigger file, and tell you so.
Does compression make text blurry?
No. Only images are re-compressed. Text and vector graphics are left exactly as they were.
