About this PDF Compress (basic)
Portals often reject files that are a little too large. This basic optimiser re-saves the PDF and strips redundant structure, which can trim some files noticeably and others hardly at all.
It does not downsample photographs inside a scanned PDF, so a scan may stay almost the same size. The tool shows before and after sizes so you only keep the result when it is truly smaller.
