Compress PDF for online form uploads

Open the PDF compressor with a 500KB target

The current PDF compressor reduces file size and shows the output after processing. Exact KB compression depends on the source file, so check the downloaded size and try removing pages or resizing source images if needed.

Troubleshooting

If the file is still too large, reduce dimensions, remove unnecessary pages, or start from a cleaner scan. If the output is unreadable, use a larger limit or improve the source file before compression.
