Questions
Compress PDF questions
Will my PDF still be readable?
Yes. The light and balanced levels never touch the text layer. Strong compression downsamples images, which is what usually carries the weight.
How much smaller will it get?
Text-only documents typically shrink 10-20%. Scanned documents can shrink 60-80% because page images are the bulk of the file.
