Compressing a PDF File

Step 1 - Open the Compress Tool

 Step 2 - Set compression quality

You can decide how much you want to compress your file. Keep in mind that compression happens by lowering the quality of the graphical parts of your PDF.

You'll see an estimate for your new file size.

Step 3 - Confirm Compression

You're now ready to reduce the file size of your PDF. 

• Click Reduce file size.

 Step 4 - Get your compressed PDF

The last thing to do is to choose where to save the compressed copy of your PDF.

• Choose a Save Location on your computer.
• Click Save.

The new compressed PDF will be saved to that location. The file will also open in PDF Architect ready for you to review.
