Make a PDF Small Enough for Email

Email limits vary, but image-heavy and scanned PDFs can often be reduced by rebuilding each page at a lower image quality.

What to do

Open Compress PDF and choose the original file.
Start with Balanced quality and Sharp detail.
Download the result, check its size and readability, then lower quality only if it is still too large.

This method turns each page into an image, so searchable text and interactive forms are lost.
Already optimized PDFs may not become smaller.
Keep the original until the emailed copy has been checked.
