Alternatively, you can drag the PDF file to the button to begin uploading the file.
The default option, Medium compression, is a good option for files containing images and text. The image quality may reduce a bit to make the file smaller, but the quality will still be pretty good. If you want to make the smallest PDF possible, select High compression. This option will definitely reduce the quality of the file, and images won’t look too good. But if you’re not concerned about image quality and you need a much smaller file, this is the option for you. Low compression compresses the file by just a small amount, preserving the quality of images and other details. The file size will reduce slightly, but not by much.
Reducing the file size can degrade the quality of the PDF, especially if there are images. If you still want to keep the larger version of the PDF as an original, you can save this smaller version with a different name. Just type the word “smaller” just before the “. pdf” in the file name at the top of the window.
If you don’t have the paid version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can sign up for a free trial or try Adobe’s free online PDF compressor.
Depending on your version of Acrobat, you may see an option called Compress PDF instead. Click that if you see it.
