Good to know

  • Recommended keeps text sharp and selectable; it mostly shrinks photos and scans inside the PDF.
  • Strong turns every page into an image. Files get much smaller, but text can no longer be selected or searched.
  • PDFs that are mostly text are often already small, so the savings may be modest.
