What is Preserve Document?

It attempts structural optimization while keeping document structure where possible, so size reduction may be limited.

What is Strong Compression?

It rebuilds rendered pages for stronger reduction. Selectable text, links, forms and annotations may be lost.

Why might my PDF not reach the target size?

The requested size is a goal. Best Result Available may remain above it to protect readability.

What does Compress More do?

It tries a stronger progressive level from the original uploaded PDF; sharper detail may be reduced.
