How to Shrink PDF File Size

Why shrink PDF files?

You may wonder why you would need to shrink PDF files, if you have enough disk space on your computer to store the files, and the documents contain information that you do not want to lose. For some users, this might not in fact be necessary, but others may run into difficulties when trying to print the files, share them via email, or upload them to a website.In these cases, PDF compression is a necessary option.

Complications with shrinking files

While file compression is often inevitable, it can sometimes create complications. For example, if you use JPEG compression, you may notice that the quality of the compressed file is significantly lower than the quality of the original file. For this reason, it is important to use an appropriate file format, such as PDF, which supports lossless compression algorithms.
