Frequently asked questions
Why the note about text selectability?
Strong compression converts pages into high-quality compressed images, ideal for scans. If your file is text and you need to copy from it, use the light level.
How much smaller will my file get?
It depends on the file. Scanned documents often shrink to half their size or much less, depending on the level you pick.
Can I compress a password-protected file?
No. Remove the password in your PDF app first, then compress it here.
