PDF is the most popular format for sharing word processed documents. But troubles will arise if PDF file size keeps growing. Large PDF attachments can’t be sent via email due to the commercial limitations applied to both sending and receiving. Voluminous PDF files consume more bandwidth and take too long to upload. So, it’s important to slim your PDFs down to a more manageable size. Then what makes PDFs larger than expected? Images in high resolution and dpi do. Thus, if images are not particularly needed, you can remove them to reduce the size of a PDF significantly. Luckily, you can achieve it by using a PDF compressor. This tool provides a fast method for deleting images in PDFs, which results in less PDF size.
