Questions
How do I reduce the size of a PDF?
Pick a compression level and run it. The tool shows the before and after size so you can choose the balance of quality and size.
Does compressing remove selectable text?
Yes. Compression turns pages into compressed pictures, so text in the result can no longer be selected or searched. Use OCR afterwards if you need that back.
