Compress PDF questions
Will every PDF become much smaller?
Not always. Results depend on how the original PDF was created. Files containing already-compressed images may show a smaller reduction.
Does compression change the page order?
No. The document keeps the same page order while the file is optimised.
Can I use this on a phone?
Yes. The interface is responsive and works on modern phones, tablets and desktop browsers.
