Find what makes the PDF large
A scanned or photo-heavy document can be much larger than a text-heavy PDF.
Use sensible image resolution
Documents intended for screen reading rarely need the same image detail as high-quality print work.
Check readability after changes
Inspect small text, signatures, diagrams and scanned pages.
Before you share
