Use Compress PDF with clear expectations.

Compress PDF reduces file size so documents are easier to email, upload, and store. AJN PDF offers selectable quality settings rather than using one aggressive compression level for every document.

The balanced mode aims to reduce image data while keeping ordinary screen readability. Strong compression may rasterize pages to achieve a smaller result. When rasterization is used, searchable text, links, form fields, and accessibility information can be reduced or lost, so the downloaded file should always be reviewed.
