It was a hard time when I faced such a situation where I need to compress one pdf file to have its size reduced. I tried so many options including compression through software but the result was not satisfied. I had no other option but to look for a solution online. What I found that day I wish you must know those useful websites which helped me to compress pdf files online.

Most of these websites use 3 types of mechanisms such as:


  • Low compression : With this setting, pdf files will be compressed with low compression technology. The size of pdf will not be decreased (shorten) much. Also the visibility will also not be affected.


  • Medium compression : With medium compression, files will be compressed more and the size of the file will also be less (reduced) but the visibility will be slightly affected.


  • High compression : With High Compression setting, file will be compressed heavily and size will also reduce to very little for example: 50-90kb. But the main problem is with the visibility. Files compressed with high compression may not be easily visible. The images included in that file may be distorted very much.

Hence, I recommend to use Medium compression because using this setting, the quality of the PDF file will also be retained and the size will also be less.
