There will be instances when you would like to have a pdf file, but you want to make sure that the size is going to be smaller.

These are some of the things that you can do:

• Select file in the preview menu.

• Choose export in the drop−down menu.

• You will find the Quartz Filter menu.

• Choose the option that says “Reduce File Size.”

• Select save.

By the time that you have already saved up everything, this means that you will be able to save the pdf file in a smaller size.

You may want to have a PDF file but you want to make sure that it is small enough for the small space that you currently have.

What you can do are the following:

• Load your file.
• Check if the file already has all of the needed details.
• Re−save the file as a smaller file when you click “Other.”
• Choose reduced size PDF.
• Make sure that you will choose the version that is more compatible with the device that you currently have.
• Just click “Ok” to save.

Once you have done all of the steps that are mentioned above, you are bound to have the smaller sized PDF file saved on your device.

PDF files can be very large, but some uploading spaces only allow the file to be so big. Therefore, you may need to reduce the size of the PDF.

To do so, follow these steps:

• First, try to avoid scanning PDF's as that will increase the size of the file

• When saving the PDF file, click Save as Other and then click Reduced Size PDF. This will help reduce the size of the PDF while it is being saved
